Motor Claim Registration Toolkit

Make Claim Approval Easy -

• If your car is completely or partially submerged underwater, don’t try to start it. Instead, follow the insurance claim registration process and connect with a roadside assistance company. Next, get your car towed to the garage allocated to you by your insurance provider.
• Avoid driving your vehicle in flooded regions.
• You cannot file a motor claim regarding flood damage if you have a third-party liability (TPL) insurance policy.

Only if you have a comprehensive insurance policy, you should initiate the insurance claim process. The insurance provider will take the process further.

With that clear, here’s a guide on the motor claim registration process amidst this dire scenario.

How to Initiate the Insurance Claim Process in UAE?

To start the car insurance claim process, make a claim intimation. Here are the steps for the same —

1. Report the incident to the police and get a police report by following the due process for the concerned Emirate.
2. If you need towing services, connect with your insurance provider’s round-the-clock free roadside assistance helpline.
3. Record the damages via videos and photographs as proof of investigating the damages accurately.

You can visit https://www.policybazaar.ae/claim/, select your insurance provider, and follow the described process.

For your convenience, let’s understand what needs to be done once you file a claim intimation as well —

• If roadside assistance is covered under the plan, the insurer will arrange pickup upon claim filing.
• The repairer will create a detailed repair estimate and send it to the insurer for review.
• A qualified insurance surveyor will approve the repair work post-inspection.
• You'll get repair duration confirmation and be notified upon completion. You can then collect the car from the repairer.
• Once you receive the car, you will get a survey questionnaire via email. Fill in the survey.

Note — If the damage to your car was due to your fault, you will need to settle the repair costs before collecting your vehicle.
