Myth#1 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medical bills covered in the event of personal accident<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you buy car insurance, you usually see the options for personal accident coverage, and you believe in the notion that god forbid in the time unfortunate car crash the insurance company will pay the medical bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much to your disappointment, it\u2019s not true. As the personal accident pay your lump sum amount to specific injuries. For instance,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. God forbid If you died during the accident the insurance company will facilitate your family with the lumpsum reimbursement amount of AED 2,00,000.<\/li>
  2. In the event of blindness, you are eligible to get AED 100,000 for each eye.<\/li>
  3. In case of physical disability, you are awarded AED 50,000 for each limb injured.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Therefore, in those unfortunate times just showing your insurance document in the hospital will not get you any medical coverage. For that, you have to have health insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

    Myth#2 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The insurance provider will cover the mechanical cost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    One of the most standard perceptions and insurance myth is that if the person has comprehensive coverage, he\/she will get mechanical repair cover form the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But that\u2019s not the case as your insurance provider can provide you with a replacement car but not major repair in case of big accidental damage or break down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The mechanical cost is totally dependant upon the vehicles physical appearance at the time of insurance and its depreciation rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For that, you can include extra add-on cover<\/strong> <\/a>to your insurance policy and pay the extra fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

    Myth#3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) offers comprehensive insurance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Another infamous myth is that the GCC offers comprehensive insurance to clients driving insured vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This feature is limited to clients with gold car insurance. However, it is partial coverage not legal permission to drive in another GCC state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Therefore, every client should adopt the policy according to the UAE insurance laws as GCC cover provide no third-party liability insurance to their clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Myth#4 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Your insurance provider gives you the best deals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Of course, successful businesses are those based on honesty and integrity but in this practical world, no lunches are free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Even your provider will try to convince you that unnecessary coverage is best for your premium. Before agreeing to anything always do your homework and seek different car quotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It’s quite rare for you to get reasonable rates and package from insurance brokers or car dealers offline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Get in touch with online insurance providers and websites that are known for their work ethics and provide authentic content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Value for money<\/li>

    3. Safe and secure transaction<\/li>
    4. 24\/7 Service<\/li>
    5. No broker\/agent fees<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Myth#5 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Agency Repair Coverage <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Agency repair is one of the most featured comprehensive insurance plans. This means when car towing or any malfunctioning car, the insurance provider\/agent will take the responsibility of paying your car repair amount with the help of agency repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      However, your insurance premium does get a little high because of this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Additionally, the option of cheaper non-agency repair is always available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The decision falls to you. If you have an expensive car like a sports car, send your car for repair to the professional hands of the agency; otherwise, non-agency repair is a reasonable alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Using your insurance claim when you drive someone else’s car<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      But that\u2019s not the case all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      There are several strict legal regulations that stipulate;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. A driver who is under age 25 cannot avail this cover at any situation<\/li>
      2. A driver of 25 or more can avail cover but has to ask the insurance company to add this on in his\/her policy. <\/li>
      3. His\/her insurance provider will pay the definite amount and the remaining payment has to be paid by the driver.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        Myth#7 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        High premium means better service coverage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Having a high car premium doesn\u2019t mean you have high coverage service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        This myth was quite common and lead many buyers to choose expensive and unnecessary policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Your car type and its requirements set the premium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
