Types of Insurance<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are basically two types of car insurance coverage that a car owner can opt for. You can select one based on your requirements and needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Comprehensive Car Insurance<\/b><\/h3>\n

Comprehensive car insurance provides extensive coverage and protects you from various types of damages. This insurance not only covers the damage to your car but also covers the liability coverage for third parties. It covers all kinds of repairs and accidental damages like theft and vandalism. Moreover, the policy provides coverage for damages caused by natural disasters such as fire explosions and floods. However, the coverage of a comprehensive insurance policy may vary from company to company, and you can also customize the plan as per your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Third-Party Liability<\/b><\/h3>\n

It is a basic insurance policy that is mandatory by RTA for all car owners in Dubai. The purpose of this type of insurance is to provide coverage to a third party if you cause an accident. In this type, the damage caused to your vehicle will not be covered. The company will be responsible for covering only third-party vandalism. It is relatively cheaper than comprehensive car insurance. It is the minimum insurance coverage required in the UAE.<\/span><\/p>\n
