Car Insurance

The nuts and bolts of car Insurance

Getting insured does not mean ignoring safe driving habits

While there are several companies that try to sell you what they claim is an excellent cover for your vehicle, do consider the following while purchasing an insurance:

Know your requirements- insurance companies provide different levels coverage. Some may be very basic; others could be excessive for your needs and too pricey. If you travel often to other GCC countries, it is worthwhile to get GCC coverage and vice versa. The hire-a-car option is beneficial if your car is in the workshop for repair. Choose  an insurance that is just right for your needs.

History- if you have a good history of driving, it will help lower your insurance premium. Some companies give"No Claims Bonus" on quotes if you have not been involved in accidents or have not claimed in previous years. The quotes will depend on how long you've had a UAE license. It also helps if you have a proof of license from the UK,US, or a European license valid for more than five years.

Negotiate- compare quotes from at least two brokers(brokers can get you a good deal) as they buy in bulk. Check the costs when you buy directly from the principal company. It's a bit expensive as it delivers what you are paying for in a hassle-free manner.

Keep in mind that insurance is only financial protection in case of an accident. Driving safely should become a habit as prevention is always the better option, for your safety and that of others.
