Insurer offers war cover as a straightforward optional add-on to motor and fleet policies
GIG Gulf, an ‘A’ rated insurer with over 70 years heritage in the region and a top five position in the market across the UAE, Oman, Bahrain and Qatar, has announced that war cover is now available as an add-on for comprehensive personal motor policies and select commercial fleet policies in the UAE.
Customers are now able to choose from three levels of cover to suit their needs and budget, according to a press statement.
Previously, standard motor insurance policies have always excluded war-related damage. For most of the region’s history, that exclusion sat quietly in the small print, rarely tested, rarely questioned.
Changing landscape
As the risk landscape has shifted, a small number of insurers have begun to offer some form of cover, but this sits often as a single, costly add-on that puts the product out of reach for many drivers and businesses.
GIG Gulf’s approach is different: three clear options, added in the same way customers already buy or renew their policy, backed by the scale and stability of a regional insurer operating across Gulf markets.
Commitment
“Real commitment means being there for the moments that matter most to our customers. That’s why we’ve added war cover to motor and fleet policies, giving people and businesses the peace of mind they deserve,” stated Paul Adamson, CEO, GIG Gulf.
The commercial fleet offering is a meaningful step forward for businesses running vehicles in the UAE, as well as for logistics operators and corporate fleets who have had limited, often impractical options for this type of cover until now. GIG Gulf’s war protection gives them a straightforward route to protecting their assets, the press notification concluded.
