Types of Watania Takaful Car Insurance in Dubai

Watania Takaful car insurance offers both standard car insurance policies in the UAE:

Comprehensive Car Insurance

Comprehensive car insurance provides the highest level of coverage among standard policies. This policy provides coverage for the policyholder and third-party damages. It takes care of damage caused by non-collision accidents such as theft, vandalism, natural disasters, and personal injury protection.

Third-Party Liability Car Insurance

Third-party car insurance offers the lowest level of coverage that is mandatory in the Emirates. It only takes care of third-party liabilities such as bodily injury and property damage.

Let’s take a look at the key difference between these two coverages:
