Shory Emerges as Game-Changer in UAE Car Insurance Market
In a significant development for the UAE’s rapidly evolving automotive insurance sector, Shory has introduced a groundbreaking digital approach to car insurance. The Insurtech company enables drivers to secure third-party and comprehensive vehicle insurance in less than 90 seconds, requiring only their vehicle’s plate number.

The UAE car insurance market, currently valued at USD 1.41 billion, is undergoing rapid digital transformation. Consumers are increasingly preferring user-friendly online insurance solutions, making companies like Shory particularly relevant. Shory’s fully online, paperless transaction process and real-time quote comparisons from top insurers in the UAE cater to this shift in consumer preferences.
Understanding Car Insurance Options in the UAE
The Central Bank of UAE (CBUAE) mandates that all drivers maintain at least third-party liability coverage. Shory offers both mandatory third-party and optional comprehensive vehicle insurance plans:
-
Third-Party Liability Insurance:
- Covers injuries to others and damage to third-party property
- Fulfills the minimum legal requirement
- Typically costs between AED 551.25 (for renewals) to AED 2,200 annually
- Does not cover damage to the policyholder’s vehicle
-
Comprehensive Car Insurance:
- Includes all third-party coverage plus protection for the policyholder’s vehicle
- Covers theft, fire, and non-collision damage
- Starts at AED 1,200 annually, depending on vehicle type and driver profile
- May include value-added services like roadside assistance
