Top Car Insurance Scams
How To Buy Cheap Car Insurance
Is cheap car insurance really the best for you?
Cheaper does not mean better when it comes to car insurance. A cheap car insurance policy that is available at an exceptionally low premium is probably the outcome of lower insurance coverage, reduced car value or very high deductibles (policy excess).
Always question why a policy is significantly cheaper than others in the market. The answer may be in the policy wording and its terms and conditions. Rely on your own research and instead of just comparing prices, make sure you compare features and benefits too.
There is a common scam in the market. A ‘ghost broker’ will quote you a very cheap price for an insurance policy but will ask for payment in cash. He will never pay the insurance provider. That leaves you with a policy that can be downgraded to TPL or cancelled, as there is no payment proof from the provider. So, if it’s too cheap, it’s definitely too good to be true!

What is the difference between Third-Party Liability Car Insurance and Comprehensive Car Insurance?
Third-Party Liability or TPL Car Insurance covers you if you are at fault in an accident that injures or leads to the death of another person. It also covers you if your car damages another person’s property or public property. However, TPL insurance does NOT cover damage to your own car.
Comprehensive Car Insurance will not only cover the damage mentioned above, but it will also cover the loss or damage to your own car too. Even though a comprehensive policy may be more expensive, it makes more sense to opt for it vs. a TPL policy, so you do not end having to cover your car’s repair and replacement costs out of your own pocket.
Why is car insurance a yearly cost in the UAE and not a monthly cost like in other countries?
The up-front yearly payment for car insurance is the result of regulatory requirements in the UAE. All car insurance policies issued in the country are valid for a period of 13 months. This is to accommodate for the 1-month grace period provided by the Road & Transport Authority (RTA) to renew your annual car registration.
How can I finance my car insurance premium?
Once you have arranged a call-back from insurance providers through Souqalmal, make sure to ask them if there is a monthly payment option available instead of the standard annual payment.
Alternatively, you can also convert the annual premium payment on your credit card into affordable monthly instalments. However, make sure you read about the interest rate, fees and charges applied by the card provider beforehand.
