The Checklist<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This car insurance checklist<\/strong> of documents needed for car insurance will help you save time in the overall process of application. It will ensure you have all the documents you need beforehand, so you don’t have to make multiple visits to the insurance agency because we understand that your time is precious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Time needed: <\/span>8 hours<\/p>

<\/p>

  1. Proof Of ID<\/strong> <\/strong>

    When getting insurance, the agency will need two important details from your ID which are your date of birth and your full name. This will allow them to draft the insurance for you. In the UAE if you are a national or hold an Emirates ID then that would be sufficient as a proof of ID. If you are an expat that does not have an Emirates ID at the time of applying for insurance, you can use your passport along with the visa page. \"\"<\/p> <\/li>

  2. Details Of The Vehicle<\/strong><\/strong>

    This is an obvious requirement, the agency will need to know details about the vehicle so they can insure it and provide a premium. Vehicle registration has all the details required by the agency. It has the make, model, year and other specifics of the car. You will need to present a copy of the registration and be sure to copy the front and back. In the case of some agencies, you may also be requested to present the RTA Certificate of Transfer so you can take that with you just in case.\"\"<\/p> <\/li>

  3. Driver\u2019s License<\/strong>

    This is just to show the agency that you licensed to drive the car. The car will be insured for the individual that will be driving it so the license will help them determine that.\"\"<\/p> <\/li>

  4. Letter Certifying That The Car Is GCC Specified<\/strong>

    Some agencies request that you have a letter from the manufacturer or dealer that the car is cleared to be driven in the GCC states. You can get a letter from your dealership. These four documents are vital if you are looking to get your new car insured. Some agencies may request additional documents but that varies from company to company. Most companies also allow you to send the document electronically, making the process much easier if you forget a document when you visit. Making the overall process of getting car insurance less of a strain on you.\"\"<\/p> <\/li><\/ol><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    What does car insurance not cover in UAE?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    It does not cover the car owner’s damage, including car damage, but covers the bodily injury or property damage of the third party by the insured vehicle. The Policy also does not cover loss by fire or car theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Is car insurance mandatory in the UAE?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Under the UAE law it is required that every vehicle on the road is insured. Vehicle insurance provides you with security and financial protection against third party liability claims in case of an accident. With Comprehensive Insurance, you will also be protected against loss or damage to your own vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
