Pros and cons
Pros
- Auto, health and pet cover are all listed under one site, so quotes sit side by side rather than in separate searches
- Car premiums start at AED 600, below the car comparison median of €8.50
- Monthly payments are available, which 89% of comparison sites in the insurance group also offer
- Support runs on email, chat and phone, covering the phone and email routes most claims need
Cons
- Health cover is capped at a AED 5,000,000 limit, so large medical bills can exceed it
- Lookinsure is a comparison site rather than an insurer, so the policy sits with the provider it quotes
- Cover is limited to auto, health and pet, with no life, home or travel lines listed
Who it suits
- Expats living in the UAE who need car, health or pet cover
- Drivers who want the option to pay monthly rather than in one sum
- Households holding several policies who want one place to compare them
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting cover outside the UAE, since policies are written for a single market
- People who want an insurer to hold their policy directly, because Lookinsure quotes on behalf of providers

Frequently asked questions
What does Lookinsure actually sell?+
Lookinsure is a comparison site, so it does not underwrite policies itself. It gathers quotes for auto, health and pet and presents them together, and the cover is placed with the insurer behind each quote.
How much does car insurance cost through Lookinsure?+
Car premiums start at AED 600 on the site. For context, the median starting premium across the car comparison group is €8.50, so the entry point sits below the middle of the market.
Can I pay for cover monthly?+
Yes. Monthly payments are available on the car policies the site quotes, which is the norm since 89% of car comparison sites offer them. The monthly model is the only payment basis listed for those policies.
Is my money protected by a compensation scheme?+
Lookinsure is a comparison site, so it does not hold premiums itself and no protection scheme is stated for the site. Once a policy is placed, cover sits with the insurer named in the quote, and its terms set out the protection that applies.
Who is Lookinsure aimed at?+
The car insurance pages target expats, which makes it a natural fit for people who have moved to the UAE and need cover under a UAE policy. The wider range of auto, health and pet lets a household place more than one policy through the same site.
How do I make a claim?+
Claims run through the provider rather than the site, on insurer claims portal, insurer app and email for pet policies. That means an insurer claims portal, the insurer app or email, so you need the insurer's own contact details once cover starts.
How much health cover can I get?+
Health cover on the site runs to a AED 5,000,000 limit. That is the ceiling for a single health claim, so anyone expecting treatment costs above it should check the wording of the underlying policy before accepting a quote.
Can I speak to someone about a quote?+
Support is listed on email, chat and phone, so phone, email and chat are all open routes for questions before you buy. Phone tends to be the quickest of the three when you are checking what a quote includes.
