The UAE insurance market is one of the largest and most diversified in the GCC, driven by mandatory health insurance mandates in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and steady demand for motor, life and property cover. Regulation of insurance companies and agents falls under the Central Bank of the UAE (which absorbed the former Insurance Authority's mandate), which licenses and supervises all insurers, brokers and agents operating in the country. DCCIInfo currently verifies 155 insurance companies and agents across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates.
Insurance companies underwrite risk and pay claims, while insurance agents and brokers help individuals and businesses select and purchase the right policy from one or more insurers. In UAE, some agents represent a single insurance company exclusively, while independent brokers compare quotes across multiple providers on the client's behalf.
These insurers offer term life, whole life and Sharia-compliant takaful savings and protection products for individuals and families across the UAE.
General insurers cover property, motor, marine cargo and liability risks, with motor insurance being mandatory for all vehicle owners registered in the UAE.
Brokers and agents act as intermediaries, comparing policies across multiple insurers to help clients find suitable health, life or commercial coverage.
With 155 insurance companies and agents verified on DCCIInfo, individuals and businesses can compare life, health, motor and commercial insurance providers by emirate and specialty before requesting quotes.
