Technology has made our lives so much easier, hasn't it? It saves us time, effort, and helps us manage various aspects of our lives, including car insurance. Luckily, there are plenty of convenient and fast options available online to check the status of your car insurance. In this article, we'll shed light on some of these methods.
Why is it important to check your car insurance status?
In the UAE, car insurance lasts for 13 months, and vehicle insurance is mandatory by law. Therefore, it's crucial to ensure that your car insurance is valid to avoid financial penalties and legal consequences in case of an accident or traffic violation. Checking your insurance also helps you:
-
Avoid coverage lapses: Not renewing your car insurance leads to coverage cancellation, making you liable for fines and costly legal proceedings in case of an accident.
-
Renew insurance on time: Checking the expiration date of your insurance gives you enough time to renew it before it expires, avoiding late renewal penalties that could result in hefty fines.
-
Review coverage details: By accessing your insurance policy online, you can ensure that the coverage meets your needs and budget.
