The UAE insurance sector is one of the most regulated in the GCC, overseen by the UAE Insurance Authority (IA) under Federal Law No. 6 of 2007 concerning the Establishment of the Insurance Authority and Regulation of its Operations. Since Dubai introduced mandatory health cover under Dubai Health Insurance Law No. 11 of 2013, licensed insurance agents have become the primary point of contact for individuals and SMEs comparing life, health, motor and property policies. DCCIInfo's directory currently lists 30 verified insurance agents operating across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Fujairah.
An insurance agent is a licensed individual or company authorized to sell insurance products on behalf of one or more underwriters. Unlike brokers, who represent the client's interests across multiple insurers, agents in the UAE typically hold a tied agency agreement with a specific insurance company and are registered with the Insurance Authority under an agent's permit.
These agents place individual and group medical policies, mandatory under Dubai's Health Insurance Law and Abu Dhabi's Thiqa/Daman framework, alongside term and whole-life products.
Agents in this category arrange comprehensive and third-party motor cover, along with fire and property policies for villas, apartments and commercial premises.
These agents work with SMEs and larger enterprises on group medical schemes, workmen's compensation, liability and marine cargo insurance.
DCCIInfo's Insurance Agent category currently features 30 verified companies with direct phone numbers, addresses and licensing details, making it one of the most complete insurance agent directories covering Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates.
