Frequently asked questions about Car Insurance

What is car insurance?

Car insurance offers financial protection against physical damage or bodily injury resulting from traffic collisions and other unforeseen incidents.

Is car insurance mandatory in the UAE?

Yes, car insurance is a legal requirement for all vehicles in the UAE. You cannot register your car without valid insurance coverage.

What is the difference between comprehensive and third-party car insurance?

Comprehensive car insurance covers damages to your own vehicle as well as third-party damages. Third-party insurance only covers damages caused to another person's property or injuries. We offer three tiers at GIG Gulf, covering all eventualities.

How is the car insurance premium calculated in the UAE?

Insurance premiums are calculated based on factors like the vehicle's age, model, value, driver's age and driving history, and the type of coverage selected.

What factors influence the price of car insurance in the UAE?

The cost of car insurance in the UAE is influenced by vehicle and driver-specific details. The age and condition of the vehicle play a pivotal role; older cars might be more expensive to insure due to potential issues, while newer, well-maintained vehicles often attract lower premiums. The driver's age is another significant factor, with younger and much older drivers typically facing higher rates due to statistical accident probabilities. A driver's record, both in terms of driving behaviour and claim history, can increase or decrease premiums. The vehicle's market value also matters; higher-value cars might attract higher insurance rates. Additionally, the type of insurance plan, its coverage, and the chosen deductible amount will effect the final premium.

Can I transfer my no-claims discount if I switch insurance provider to GIG Gulf?

Yes, the no-claims discount, or no-claims bonus, is transferable. You can obtain a certificate from your previous insurer and present it to the new provider to benefit from the discount. 

What is the process to claim insurance in case of an accident in the UAE?

After ensuring everyone's safety, report the accident to the police. You will need the police report to process your claim. Contact us when you have the report or submit a claim using our online claim tool. Once the claim is submitted, you will receive an SMS providing the claim reference number and contact details of the workshop as per your policy coverage.

Does car insurance in the UAE cover damages in other GCC countries?

Some policies offer GCC-wide coverage as an optional add-on, while others might include it in their standard packages. Add these to your GIG Gulf Motor Prestige or Motor Perfect insurance policies while getting a quote.

How does the off-road coverage work?

Off-road coverage is designed to protect your vehicle during off-road adventures. GIG Gulf's Motor Third Party does not cover off-roading, but Prestige and Perfect do.  

What are the consequences of driving without valid car insurance in the UAE?

Driving without insurance is illegal and can result in hefty fines, black points on your driving license, vehicle impoundment, and difficulties obtaining future insurance coverage.

Can I include family members under my car insurance policy in the UAE?

Yes, all GIG Gulf policies offer extensions to cover legal liabilities for family members as third parties. Check the terms and conditions to find put details depending on your policy.
