The study found that more than three quarters (76 per cent) of InsuranceMarket.ae users opted for comprehensive insurance coverage rather than third party only insurance. About 45,300 enquiries to InsuranceMarket.ae were for comprehensive cover while just 10,700 were for third party only policies.

The study also revealed that the largest number of insurance claims is made during the summer with 142 claims made at InsuranceMarket.ae last August, compared to just 36 in December when the least amount of claims are typically submtitted.

“The peaks in claims are likely driven by car purchase cycles as insurance renewal cycles are 13 months from first registration," said Mr Hammad. "We generally see a rise in car purchases near the end of summer, right around start of school often driven by new residents that time their purchases with when their families move over and start school. We also see a decline right before the December holidays, as most people prefer to buy a car once they are back from holidays and plan to use it.”
