Insurance and risk adviser Suleiman bin Mayouf said vehicle insurance coverage against floods and natural disasters is mandatory in “comprehensive insurance only” documents.
And the insurance consultant answered my question (Will insurance prices rise for those who received compensation after flood and disaster compensation) by saying: “No, it is not specified or stipulated that there will be a price increase, because the price increase process has a single criterion, but there are underwriting criteria, including previous claims, portfolio, general situation and vehicle condition, which must be considered before making any decision.”
