Lexus car insurance is a UAE motor policy that protects a Lexus sedan or SUV against accident damage, theft, fire and the cost of harm you cause to other people, with third-party cover as the legal minimum for every car registered in the UAE. On Lookinsure you can buy car insurance online in the UAE after comparing quotes from several insurers for any Lexus, from a 2015 IS to a new LX.
Comprehensive Lexus car insurance in the UAE generally costs between 2% and 5% of the car's market value per year, verified on Lookinsure in October 2026. Third-party cover for a Lexus started from AED 850 a year in the same quote set.
What is Lexus car insurance?
Lexus car insurance is not a separate product from Lexus itself; it is a standard UAE motor policy, written under the Unified Motor Vehicle Insurance Policy set by the Central Bank of the UAE, and priced around the value and risk profile of your Lexus. Lexus motor insurance, a Lexus auto insurance plan and a Lexus car insurance policy all describe the same thing.
You choose between two levels of protection. Comprehensive cover, often called full coverage auto insurance, pays for damage to your own Lexus as well as to other vehicles and people. Third-party cover pays only for the damage and injury you cause to others.
Lexus sedan vs Lexus SUV: what changes in your insurance
Lexus sells two families in the UAE. The sedan series includes the CT, ES, IS, GS and LS, while the SUV series comprises the UX, NX, RX, GX and LX. Insurers price both the same way, around market value, repair cost and how the car is used, so the family your Lexus belongs to mainly changes which add-ons are worth paying for.
| What changes | Lexus sedan series | Lexus SUV series |
|---|---|---|
| Models | CT (hatchback), ES, IS, GS, LS | UX, NX, RX, GX, LX |
| Models no longer sold new | CT and GS, insured on their used-market value | None in the core range |
| Where the premium sits | ES and IS at the lower end, LS at the top | UX and NX at the lower end, GX and LX at the top |
| Add-ons that matter most | Agency repair, replacement car, car key replacement | Off-road (4x4) cover for GX and LX, passenger personal accident, Oman extension |
| Hybrid and electric versions | ES 300h, LS 500h | UX 300h, NX 350h, RX 350h/500h, RZ 450e/500e |
Lexus is Toyota's luxury division, and many Lexus SUVs share engineering with Toyota models, such as the LX with the Land Cruiser. If you are weighing a Lexus against its Toyota sibling, Toyota car insurance quotes are usually lower because the Toyota's market value is lower, not because the cover differs.
Types of Lexus car insurance plans
There are two types of Lexus car insurance in the UAE, comprehensive and third-party, and comprehensive plans are further split by where your car is repaired.
Lexus comprehensive car insurance
Lexus comprehensive car insurance covers accidental damage to your own car, theft, fire and natural perils, plus everything a third-party policy covers. It is the plan most Lexus owners buy, and the one a bank will require if your Lexus is financed. Compare comprehensive car insurance plans to see agency and garage repair options side by side.
Lexus third-party insurance
Lexus third-party insurance is the legal minimum in the UAE. It pays for damage to other vehicles and property and for injuries to other people when you are at fault, but nothing towards your own Lexus. Third-party car insurance suits an older Lexus whose repair bill you could cover yourself.
Agency repair or garage repair?
Agency repair means your Lexus is fixed at an authorised Lexus dealer workshop with genuine parts. Garage repair means the insurer's approved independent workshops, which costs less to insure. Most insurers offer agency repair only for the first few years of a car's life, commonly up to three to five years. Check the insurer garage lists before choosing a garage-repair plan.
If your Lexus is financed, the gap between what you owe the bank and what the insurer pays after a total loss can be large in the first two years. GAP insurance closes that gap where an insurer offers it.
Which Lexus car insurance plan should you choose?
Comprehensive with agency repair
Choose this if your Lexus is under five years old or financed.
Comprehensive with garage repair
Choose this for an older Lexus you still want covered for theft and accident damage.
Third-party only
Choose this only for an older, lower-value Lexus you could afford to repair yourself.
The detailed trade-offs are in our guide to comprehensive vs third-party car insurance.
| Cover | Comprehensive | Third-party |
|---|---|---|
| Damage to other vehicles and property | Yes | Yes |
| Injury to other people | Yes | Yes |
| Accident damage to your Lexus | Yes | No |
| Theft and fire | Yes | No |
| Flood and storm damage | On most plans or as an add-on | No |
| Agency repair option | Yes, for newer cars | No |
| Required by banks for financed cars | Yes | No |
Lexus car insurance premium: what it costs in the UAE
A 2021 Lexus ES 350 valued at AED 112,400 drew comprehensive quotes from AED 2,023 to AED 3,372 a year, roughly 1.8% to 3% of its value.
Third-party quotes for the same car ran from AED 850 to AED 1,182 a year. The cheapest comprehensive quote came from Methaq car insurance, and Orient car insurance quoted comprehensive only.
| Insurer | Comprehensive (AED/year) | Third-party (AED/year) |
|---|---|---|
| Methaq | 2,023 | 850 |
| Insurance House | 2,698 | 892 |
| Orient Insurance | 3,158 | — |
| Adamjee Insurance | 3,278 | 1,105 |
| Al Sagr National Insurance | 3,372 | 1,020 |
| Fidelity United | — | 850 |
| Tokio Marine | — | 1,182 |
| Average | ~2,906 | ~983 |
Lexus ES 350, 2021 model, insured value AED 112,400. Quotes are indicative and change with your driving record and the insurer's current rates.
Lexus insurance cost for any other model follows the car's value: an LX worth three times an ES will usually cost several times more to insure comprehensively. Our guide to insuring a high-value car explains how insurers treat cars at the top of the range.
What drives your Lexus car insurance premium
Model and market value
The biggest factor. An RX or LX costs more to insure than an ES or IS of the same year.
Cover and repair tier
Comprehensive with agency repair costs the most; third-party the least.
Driver age and experience
Drivers under 25 or with a recent UAE licence pay more.
Claims history
Claim-free years earn a discount; recent at-fault claims raise the premium.
Specification
Imported, non-GCC-spec Lexus models can be harder to insure or restricted to garage repair.
Usage and emirate
Daily commuting and the emirate of registration both affect the risk insurers price in.
Cheap and best Lexus car insurance: how to pay less
The best Lexus car insurance is the cheapest plan that still repairs your car the way you want it repaired, so cut cost in this order. Protect your no-claims discount, accept a higher excess if you rarely claim, and drop to garage repair once agency repair stops being worth the extra.
Compare before every renewal
Your current insurer's renewal price is rarely the lowest on the market.
Pay only for add-ons you use
Off-road cover suits a GX or LX; it adds cost without value on an ES.
Inclusions of Lexus car insurance plans
A comprehensive Lexus policy typically includes the cover below; exact limits vary by insurer and plan. Flood and storm damage is standard on many plans, but where it is not you can add flood cover, and passengers are protected only if the plan includes personal accident cover.
Own damage
Accident damage to your Lexus, whoever is at fault.
Third-party liability
Damage to other vehicles and property, and injury to other people.
Fire and theft
Loss or damage from fire, theft and attempted theft.
Natural perils
Flood, storm and hail damage on plans that include it.
Personal accident
Cover for the driver, and for passengers on plans that include it.
Emergency medical expenses
Treatment and ambulance costs after an accident, up to the plan limit.
Add-on covers for a Lexus car insurance policy
Add-ons fill the gaps a standard comprehensive policy leaves. For a GX or LX that leaves the tarmac, off-road (4x4) cover is the one most owners need, and roadside assistance is worth adding on any model.
Lexus smart keys are expensive to replace, so car key replacement cover pays for itself after one lost key. Add windscreen cover for glass damage, and if you drive into Oman, extend your policy or buy an Oman orange card.
| Add-on | What it covers | Most useful for |
|---|---|---|
| Agency repair | Repairs at an authorised Lexus workshop with genuine parts | New and financed Lexus models |
| Off-road (4x4) cover | Damage while driving off paved roads | GX and LX |
| Oman extension | Your UAE cover while driving in Oman | Owners who cross the border |
| Roadside assistance | Towing, battery jump-start, flat tyre, fuel delivery | Every model |
| Car key replacement | Lost or stolen smart key and reprogramming | Every model |
| Windscreen cover | Windscreen and glass repair or replacement | Every model |
| Replacement car | A hire car while yours is in the workshop | LS, RX and LX owners who rely on one car |
| Passenger personal accident | Injury, disability or death of passengers | Family SUVs: RX, GX, LX |
| Zero depreciation | Replaced parts paid without a deduction for age | Lexus models over three years old |
Exclusions for Lexus car insurance plans
Every Lexus policy excludes the situations below. Mechanical failure is the one owners most often expect to be covered; it is not, unless you add mechanical breakdown cover. Read the full list of car insurance exclusions before you buy.
Wear and tear
Tyres, brakes and gradual deterioration.
Mechanical and electrical breakdown
Engine, gearbox and hybrid-system faults not caused by an accident.
Alcohol or drugs
Any accident while the driver is under the influence.
Unlicensed driver
Driving without a valid UAE licence for the vehicle class.
Deliberate damage or fraud
Intentional damage, false claims and false information at purchase.
Outside the covered territory
Driving in Oman or off-road without the matching extension.
Racing and commercial use
Track events, speed tests, or using a privately insured Lexus for hire.
Consequential loss
Loss of use, loss of income and the drop in your car's resale value.

How to make a Lexus car insurance claim
A Lexus car insurance claim starts with a police report: UAE insurers do not process accident or theft claims without one. Report within the deadline in your policy, because late notification is a common reason claims are delayed; our guides to filing a car insurance claim and claim time limits in the UAE cover the detail.
Accident claims
Step 1
Report the accident
Call the police, or report a minor accident through the police app where available, and get the report.
Step 2
Notify your insurer
Call or use the insurer's app with your policy number and report reference.
Step 3
Submit the claim
Send the claim form, police report, photos and your documents.
Step 4
Survey and approval
The insurer's surveyor inspects your Lexus and approves the repair estimate.
Step 5
Repair
At the Lexus agency or an approved garage, depending on your plan.
Step 6
Pay the excess and collect
You pay the excess unless the other driver was at fault.
Theft claims
A comprehensive policy pays out for a stolen Lexus once the police confirm the car has not been recovered; third-party cover pays nothing. See how theft cover works before you need it.
Step 1
Report the theft to the police
Immediately, and get the original police report.
Step 2
Open a theft claim
Notify your insurer and complete its theft claim form.
Step 3
Hand over all keys
Insurers usually ask for every original key supplied with the car.
Step 4
Wait for the police search
The insurer settles once the police issue a non-recovery certificate.
Step 5
Settlement
Paid at the insured value minus the excess, to the bank first if the car is financed.
Documents required for Lexus car insurance claims
| Document | Accident claim | Theft claim |
|---|---|---|
| Police report | Yes | Yes, original |
| Completed claim form | Yes | Yes, theft claim form |
| Driving licence | Yes, of the driver at the time | Yes |
| Vehicle registration (Mulkiya) | Yes | Yes |
| Emirates ID | Yes | Yes |
| Photos of the damage | Yes | No |
| All original keys | No | Yes |
| Police non-recovery certificate | No | Yes |

Step 5

What happens when your Lexus car insurance expires
There is no legal grace period for driving an uninsured Lexus in the UAE: your cover ends on the expiry date printed on the policy. Some insurers allow a short renewal window of 7 to 14 days after expiry to keep your terms and no-claims discount, but you are not insured while you wait.
You also cannot renew the car's registration without valid insurance. Driving without insurance can lead to a fine of AED 500, 4 black points and impoundment of the vehicle.
How to cancel your Lexus motor insurance
Yes, you can cancel your Lexus motor insurance at any time by sending a written request to your insurer, usually with proof that the car has been sold, transferred or insured elsewhere. Refunds are normally calculated on the unused months, minus an administration fee, and may be reduced or refused if a claim was paid during the year. Our guide to cancelling car insurance covers refund scales by insurer.

Frequently asked questions
Comprehensive Lexus car insurance usually costs 2% to 5% of the car's market value per year. A 2021 Lexus ES 350 worth AED 112,400 was quoted between AED 2,023 and AED 3,372 for comprehensive, and from AED 850 for third-party cover. Larger SUVs such as the RX and LX cost more because they are worth more.
Lexus car insurance covers damage and injury you cause to others on every policy. A comprehensive policy adds accident damage to your own Lexus, theft, fire and, on most plans, flood and storm damage. Add-ons extend it to off-road driving, Oman, roadside assistance, key replacement, windscreen damage and agency repair.
No. Only third-party liability insurance is compulsory for a Lexus in the UAE. Comprehensive cover is optional, but a bank will require it if your Lexus is financed, and it is the only type that pays to repair or replace your own car after an accident, theft or fire.
Yes, compared with mass-market cars, because a Lexus has a higher market value and costlier parts. Within the range, the ES and IS sedans and the UX and NX SUVs are the cheapest to insure, while the LS, GX and LX cost the most. Choosing garage repair on an older Lexus lowers the premium.
Yes. You can renew Lexus car insurance online on Lookinsure by logging in, updating your details and comparing renewal quotes from several insurers before you pay. Renew before the expiry date, because there is no legal grace period and you cannot renew your car's registration without valid insurance.
Yes. Send your insurer a written cancellation request, usually with proof that the car was sold, transferred or insured elsewhere. Most insurers refund the unused months minus an administration fee, and the refund can be reduced or refused if a claim was paid during the policy year.
For an accident claim you need the police report, a completed claim form, the driver's licence, the Mulkiya, your Emirates ID and photos of the damage. A theft claim also needs the original police report, all original keys and a police non-recovery certificate, plus a bank letter if the car is financed.
