Car Insurance Types in the UAE, Explained Simply
In the UAE there are two main types of car insurance: TPL, which covers damage you cause to others and is the legal minimum to register a car, and comprehensive, which also covers your own car. Insurance is mandatory before registration. Carology includes TPL insurance, with the option to upgrade to comprehensive by paying the difference.
TPL insurance
TPL is the legal minimum and covers injury or damage you cause to other people and their property. It does not cover your own car.
Comprehensive insurance
Comprehensive adds cover for your own car from accidents, theft and more. With Carology you can upgrade from the included TPL to comprehensive by paying only the difference.
