Motorcycle Insurance in the UAE
Motorcycle insurance provides protection against eligible risks

Al Buhaira provides motorcycle insurance options for eligible
motorcycles and riders, subject to usage, underwriting requirements
and applicable policy terms.
Types of Motorcycle Insurance
The main motorcycle insurance options in the UAE include comprehensive and
third-party liability coverage for eligible motorcycles and riders.
1. Comprehensive Motorcycle Insurance
Comprehensive motorcycle insurance may provide eligible protection
for accidental damage to your own motorcycle together with
third-party liability. Fire, theft and other insured risks may
also be covered depending on the policy.
2. Third-Party Motorcycle Insurance
Third-party liability insurance mainly provides protection against
eligible bodily injury or property damage caused to other parties.
It generally does not cover accidental damage to your own motorcycle.
What Does Motorcycle Insurance Cover?
Depending on the selected policy, motorcycle insurance may include:
Accidental damage to the insured motorcycle
Third-party bodily injury and property damage
Fire and theft where covered
Personal accident benefits where available
Natural-event coverage where included
Optional benefits subject to policy terms
Coverage remains subject to policy limits, excess, exclusions
and conditions.
What Affects Motorcycle Insurance Cost?
The applicable premium may depend on factors such as:
Motorcycle make and model
Bike age and insured value
Rider profile and claims history
Private or commercial usage
Selected coverage and policy excess
What to Check Before Buying Motorcycle Insurance
Review the type of coverage, policy excess, limits, exclusions
and declared motorcycle usage before choosing a policy.
Any aftermarket modifications or accessories should be declared
where requested, as acceptance and coverage may depend on
underwriting approval.
