Tokio Marine car insurance is the UAE motor insurance line of Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co., Ltd., sold as one third-party liability plan and two comprehensive plans — Tokio Must and Tokio Smart Plus. All three include AED 200,000 driver accident cover, AED 200,000 passenger accident cover, 24/7 roadside assistance and national ambulance cover up to AED 6,770.
That combination is what separates it in the UAE market. Most third-party policies protect other people and stop there; Tokio Marine motor insurance pays out to the driver and to the passengers as well. Tokio Marine insurance is sold in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and every other emirate through brokers and online aggregators, so you can compare car insurance quotes online from Tokio Marine alongside other UAE insurers and complete the purchase in minutes. The insurer is also commonly searched as Tokyo Marine or Toyo Marine — they refer to the same company.
Tokio Marine sells three motor insurance plans in the UAE. Tokio Third Party meets the legal minimum. Tokio Must is the standard comprehensive plan. Tokio Smart Plus is the upgraded comprehensive plan, and the only one that includes three years of free agency repair.
Decide the cover level before you compare insurers. If your car is financed, under three years old, or worth more than AED 30,000, choose comprehensive car insurance. If it is older, fully owned and low in value, third-party car insurance is usually the rational choice — and Tokio Marine's version of it is unusually well equipped.

Choose Tokio Marine if you want the people inside your car covered as well as the people outside it. Its third-party plan carries AED 200,000 of driver cover and AED 200,000 of passenger cover — a level of personal accident cover in car insurance that most UAE third-party policies treat as a paid add-on, if they offer it at all.
It is the wrong choice if premium is your only criterion. On comprehensive cover Tokio Marine is the most expensive of the three insurers compared below, and drivers who never carry passengers will pay for a benefit they do not need.
Tokio Marine may be a good fit if you want… | Why |
|---|---|
AED 200,000 driver accident cover | Included on every plan, third party included — higher than most competitors |
AED 200,000 passenger accident cover | Pays passengers for injury or death caused by an accident |
24/7 roadside assistance | Included on third party and comprehensive, on 600 50 8181 |
National ambulance cover | Up to AED 6,770 per person on every plan |
Competitive third-party pricing | From AED 898 for a 2021 Toyota Corolla valued at AED 43,000 |
A replacement car while yours is repaired | 15–20 days on comprehensive — longer than either insurer compared below |
Three years of free agency repair | Available on Tokio Smart Plus only |
A loyalty discount for staying | Applied when you renew rather than switch |
An internationally backed insurer | Tokio Marine Group, operating since 1879 |
Third-party cover is the legal minimum in the UAE, so drivers usually shop it on price alone. That is where Tokio Marine reads badly on a spreadsheet and well in practice: it costs AED 170 more than the cheapest option here and includes two benefits the cheapest option charges for.
The two insurers below are the closest price comparators. Full plan detail sits on the RAK car insurance and DNI car insurance pages.
Third-party comparison point | Tokio Marine | RAK Insurance | DNI | How to interpret it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Basic premium, 2021 Toyota Corolla | AED 898 | AED 1,019.62 | AED 728 | DNI lowest, Tokio Marine mid-market |
Third-party bodily injury or death | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Identical — not a deciding factor |
Third-party property damage | Up to AED 2,000,000 | Up to AED 2,000,000 | Up to AED 2,000,000 | Identical — not a deciding factor |
Driver accident cover | AED 200,000 | Optional add-on | Included | The clearest gap in Tokio Marine's favour |
Passenger accident cover | AED 200,000 | Optional add-on | Not specified in base plan | Matters if you carry family or colleagues |
Ambulance services | Up to AED 6,770 | Up to AED 6,770 per person | Not specified | Post-accident emergency transport |
Roadside assistance | Included, 24/7 | Included, 24/7 UAE and Oman | Not included in base third party | DNI's headline price excludes this |
Oman extension / Orange Card | Not included on third party | Optional annual Orange Card | Not specified | Buy separately at the Oman border |
Loyalty discount | Included | Not specified | Not specified | Reduces the gap at renewal |
Nationwide UAE coverage | Included | Included | Included | Standard across all three |
NOTE: premiums quoted for a 2021 Toyota Corolla valued at AED 43,000
On comprehensive cover the ranking inverts. Tokio Marine is AED 838 more expensive than DNI on the same car, and the case for paying it rests on three things: AED 200,000 of driver and passenger cover, a 15–20 day replacement vehicle, and — on Tokio Smart Plus — three years of agency repair.
If you are still choosing between cover levels rather than insurers, read comprehensive vs third-party car insurance first.

NOTE: premiums quoted for a 2021 Toyota Corolla valued at AED 43,000
Choose Tokio Marine for third-party cover if you ever carry passengers — AED 121 more than RAK buys AED 400,000 of accident cover that RAK charges extra for. Choose DNI for comprehensive cover if you drive alone and want the lowest premium. Choose RAK if windscreen cover and Oman driving matter more to you than accident limits.
Your priority | What to check | Likely direction |
|---|---|---|
Lowest third-party premium | Basic premium only | DNI, AED 728 |
Best third-party driver and passenger cover | Accident cover limits | Tokio Marine, AED 200,000 each |
Lowest comprehensive premium | Base price | DNI, AED 1,700, or RAK, AED 1,829 |
Best comprehensive driver and passenger cover | Accident cover limits | Tokio Marine, AED 200,000 each |
A car to drive while yours is repaired | Days included, not optional | Tokio Marine, 15–20 days included |
Agency repair on a newer car | Years from first registration | Tokio Smart Plus, 3 years free |
Windscreen and glass damage | Limit rather than excess waiver | RAK, unlimited |
Off-road and desert driving | 4WD eligibility and excess | RAK or DNI |
Regular driving into Oman | Geographical extension | DNI, included, or RAK with Orange Card |
Driver under 25 | Extra excess or loaded premium | All three apply a loading — compare quotes |
Maximum benefit depth for the money | Total included benefits | RAK |
Mid-market price with strong people-cover | Price against accident limits | Tokio Marine, especially on third party |
Tokio Marine third-party car insurance starts at AED 898 a year and comprehensive cover at AED 2,538 a year for a 2021 Toyota Corolla valued at AED 43,000
As a rule of thumb on the quotes compared above, UAE third-party premiums run at roughly 1.7% to 2.4% of a car's value per year, and comprehensive premiums at roughly 4.6% to 6.9%. Cheaper cars sit at the top of those ranges and expensive cars near the bottom, so a AED 150,000 vehicle will not cost five times a AED 30,000 one. Model-specific pricing for the car used in these examples sits on the Toyota car insurance page.
Four things move a Tokio Marine vehicle insurance quote more than anything else: the declared value of the car, your claims history, whether the main driver is under 25, and whether you add agency repair. Off-plan add-ons such as off-road cover for a 4WD change the figure less than the first two.
Some of the benefits below apply to every Tokio Marine plan and some only to comprehensive. The distinction matters most on roadside assistance cover, which Tokio Marine includes on third party while several UAE insurers do not.
Two further benefits are worth checking against your own driving: windscreen insurance cover, where Tokio Marine waives the excess once rather than paying an unlimited amount, and 4x4 car insurance, where off-road damage is covered for eligible 4WD vehicles but never for safari or competition use.
Benefit or add-on | What it means | Availability |
|---|---|---|
Driver accident cover | Pays up to AED 200,000 to the driver for injury or death in an accident | Third party and comprehensive |
Passenger accident cover | Pays up to AED 200,000 to passengers for injury or death caused by an accident | Third party and comprehensive |
Third-party liability | Covers injury, death or property damage caused to other people | Third party and comprehensive |
Own damage cover | Covers damage to your own vehicle, whoever is at fault | Comprehensive only |
24/7 roadside assistance | Towing, battery boost, flat tyre, lockout and fuel delivery on 600 50 8181 | Third party and comprehensive |
National ambulance cover | Emergency transport up to AED 6,770 per person | Third party and comprehensive |
Replacement vehicle | A car to drive for 15–20 days while yours is being repaired | Comprehensive |
Workshop repair | Repairs carried out inside the approved garage network | Comprehensive |
Free agency repair | Repairs at the manufacturer's dealership for 3 years from first registration | Tokio Smart Plus |
No claim discount | A renewal discount earned by not claiming during the policy year | Comprehensive |
Loyalty discount | A renewal discount for staying with Tokio Marine year after year | Third party and comprehensive |
Off-road cover | Covers off-road damage on eligible 4WD vehicles, excluding safari use | Comprehensive, 4WD only |

Young driver excess | An additional excess or premium loading for drivers under 25 | Third party and comprehensive |
Nationwide UAE coverage | Cover applies across all seven emirates | Third party and comprehensive |
Your no claim discount is kept when you make no claim during the policy period, and is applied on top of the loyalty discount at renewal. If you are unsure how much you have accrued, read how a no claims discount is calculated and carried between UAE insurers.
Tokio Marine excludes the same categories as every UAE motor policy issued under the Unified Motor Vehicle Insurance Policy, plus one that catches drivers out: theft from valet parking is not covered.
Common exclusion area | What it means |
|---|---|
Driving without a valid licence | Claims may be rejected if the driver is unlicensed or the licence is expired or suspended |
Driving under the influence | Accidents involving alcohol, narcotics or drugs affecting driver control are excluded |
Using the vehicle for undeclared purposes | Cover may not apply if the car is used differently from what the policy declares |
Racing or speed testing | Damage caused during racing, speed tests or similar activities is excluded |
Mechanical or electrical breakdown | Wear and tear, mechanical failure and electrical breakdown are not covered |
Tyre damage alone | Tyre damage is covered only when it happens alongside other insured vehicle damage |
Overloading the vehicle | Claims may be rejected where overloading or excess passengers caused the accident |
Driving outside UAE geographical limits | Cover stops at the border unless Oman own-damage cover is added |
Natural disasters on third-party policies | Third-party plans exclude flood, earthquake, storm and similar events |
War, invasion, hostilities and civil war | Damage from war, foreign enemy action or warlike operations is excluded |
Nuclear risks | Ionising radiation, radioactive contamination and nuclear explosion are excluded |
Damage to your own vehicle on third party | Third-party insurance never covers damage to the insured vehicle itself |
Off-road driving in a non-4WD vehicle | Off-road damage is covered only for eligible 4WD vehicles |
Safari, competitions and events | Off-road cover excludes safari activities, competitions and organised events |
Employee and work-related injuries | Injuries to employees during work may require separate cover |
Intentional legal violations | Claims involving deliberate criminal acts or intentional law-breaking may be rejected |
Loss of the insurer's recovery rights | Claims may be denied if you accept responsibility at the scene when you should not have |
Valet parking theft | Theft of a vehicle handed to a valet is not covered under Tokio Marine policies |
You can buy a Tokio Marine policy online in about ten minutes. Enter the car's details once and quotes come back from Tokio Marine and other UAE insurers side by side, so the AED 200,000 accident cover can be weighed against a cheaper premium elsewhere before you commit.
Tokio Marine cover applies across all seven emirates. Local pricing, garage networks and registration rules differ, so if you are comparing by emirate:
Renew a Tokio Marine policy through Lookinsure in four steps, and apply your accrued discounts before you pay rather than after. Renewing rather than switching is what keeps the loyalty discount alive, so it is worth pricing the renewal against the market before deciding either way.
There is a 30-day grace period after expiry, but driving during it is still driving uninsured under UAE law. Renew before the expiry date, not during the grace window.
Through Lookinsure you can buy car insurance with Tamara or car insurance with Tabby and split the premium into four interest-free payments. The policy activates as soon as the first payment clears — you are insured from day one, not after the fourth instalment.
Policy type | Total premium (estimate) | First payment of four | Remaining payments |
|---|---|---|---|
Tokio Marine third-party insurance | AED 898 | Approx. AED 224.50 | 3 payments of approx. AED 224.50 |
Tokio Marine comprehensive insurance | AED 2,538 | Approx. AED 634.50 | 3 payments of approx. AED 634.50 |
Instalment availability depends on provider approval and checkout eligibility. Actual premiums vary by vehicle, driver history and selected add-ons.
Start a Tokio Marine claim by calling 600 50 30 30, Sunday to Thursday between 8am and 8pm, or by filing the claim form on the insurer's website. A police report is mandatory before the claim can proceed — get it at the scene or from the nearest police station, not later.
One rule shapes the timeline more than any other. Under UAE Insurance Authority guidelines, where the estimated repair cost exceeds AED 5,000, Tokio Marine must notify the third party's insurance carrier, and that insurer may take up to three working days to inspect the vehicle and agree repair costs with the workshop. Plan for the delay rather than chasing it.
Tokio Marine repairs run through an approved workshop network rather than a garage of your choosing. Agency repair at the manufacturer's dealership is available on Tokio Smart Plus for three years from first registration, and on some other plans by endorsement — check your policy schedule rather than assuming.
The approved network covers all seven emirates, with workshop clusters in Umm Ramool, Al Quoz and Al Qusais in Dubai, the Sharjah Industrial Area, Mussafah in Abu Dhabi, and the Al Ain, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Ajman industrial areas. Named garages and contact numbers for Tokio Marine and other UAE insurers are maintained on the UAE insurance garage list.
Repair type | Eligibility | Key features |
|---|---|---|
Workshop repair | All Tokio Marine comprehensive policies | Repairs carried out inside the approved insurer network |
Agency repair | Tokio Smart Plus, 3 years from first registration | Manufacturer dealership repair with genuine parts |
A Tokio Marine motor policy can be cancelled mid-term, and the refund is calculated on a short-rate basis rather than pro-rata — the insurer keeps a proportion of the unused premium to cover administration. Cancel two months into a twelve-month policy and you will not get ten twelfths back.
Two conditions apply in almost every case: the policy must be claim-free for the year, and the vehicle registration must be cancelled or transferred first. Selling the car is the most common trigger, and the process, documents and typical timelines are set out in full in car insurance refund after selling your car.
Tokio Marine third-party car insurance starts at AED 898 a year and comprehensive cover at AED 2,538, quoted for a 2021 Toyota Corolla valued at AED 43,000. Your own premium depends on the car's declared value, your claims history, your age and any add-ons such as agency repair.
Tokio Marine comprehensive motor insurance covers damage to your own vehicle as well as your liability to others. It is sold as two plans: Tokio Must, and Tokio Smart Plus, which adds AED 3.5 million third-party property damage, three years of free agency repair and higher personal injury limits. Both include AED 200,000 driver and passenger accident cover.
Enter your current policy number and vehicle details on Lookinsure, apply your discounts, adjust your cover, then pay by card or in four installments. Renewing rather than switching keeps the 30% loyalty reward available after five or more claim-free years. A 30-day grace period follows expiry, but driving in it is still driving uninsured.
Yes. Tokio Marine includes 24/7 roadside assistance on both third-party and comprehensive policies, reachable on 600 50 8181. The service covers towing, battery boost, flat tyre change, lockout assistance and fuel delivery anywhere in the UAE. Several UAE insurers exclude roadside assistance from their base third-party plan, so it is worth comparing.
Enter your vehicle's make, model and year, or its chassis number, on Lookinsure and quotes come back from Tokio Marine alongside other UAE insurers. Comparing side by side lets you weigh Tokio Marine's AED 200,000 driver and passenger accident cover against a cheaper premium elsewhere before you commit to either.
No. Repairs must be carried out inside Tokio Marine's approved workshop network unless your policy schedule allows otherwise. Agency repair at the manufacturer's dealership is included on Tokio Smart Plus for three years from first registration. Always wait for claim approval and garage assignment before moving the vehicle to any workshop.
Partly. Tokio Marine comprehensive policies extend own-damage cover into Oman, but third-party liability inside Oman is not included. You must buy the Orange Card separately at the Oman border before crossing. Tokio Third Party policies carry no Oman extension at all and provide no cover once you leave the UAE.
Tokio Marine's UAE claims helpline is 600 50 30 30, open Sunday to Thursday from 8am to 8pm. The 24/7 roadside assistance line is a separate number, 600 50 8181, and operates outside those hours. Claims can also be filed online through the Tokio Marine UAE website at any time.
