Insurance

  • If purchasing a property in Abu Dhabi and requiring a bank mortgage, ensure the bank is not simply tied to one life assurance company.
  • Get a couple of quotes, shop around.
  • House insurance is essential both in terms of content and building cover. There are many independent brokers in Abu Dhabi.
  • Ensure your car insurance covers the payment of blood money. If you are involved in a fatal road accident and deemed to be the cause of this accident, you will by law be required to pay a large sum of money to the family of the deceased.
  • Ensure that health insurance is in place for you and your family and that ample cover is provided as in the case of repatriation for treatment etc. Health insurance may be provided by your employer as part of your employment contract or you may need to arrange this yourself, in either case it is vital to have a sound policy in place.
