Introduction
One of the most stressful situations is when the car insurance company refuses to repair your vehicle, even though you have valid coverage. Many drivers in the UAE are confused about why this happens and what steps they can take.
This guide explains your rights, why insurers refuse repairs, and how to resolve the issue through Sanadak.
1. Why Insurance Companies Refuse Repairs
1. They claim the damage is “not covered”
Based on policy exclusions.
2. They claim the driver was unauthorized
Or licence was expired.
3. They say the damage is pre-existing
Even when it’s not.
4. They blame negligence
Like driving with low fluid or worn tires.
5. They refuse agency repair even if you paid for it
6. They want you to accept a cash settlement instead
Some reasons are valid — many are not.
2. Your Rights Under UAE Insurance Law
✔ Right to written explanation
✔ Right to full transparency
✔ Right to challenge the decision
✔ Right to agency repair if included in policy
✔ Right to escalate the dispute
3. What to Do When Your Insurer Refuses Repair
Step 1 – Request a detailed explanation
You need the denial in writing.
Step 2 – Review your policy
Check:
-
Coverage
-
Exclusions
-
Agency repair
-
Driver clauses
Step 3 – Provide evidence of the incident
Photos, videos, police report, witness statements.
Step 4 – File an internal complaint
This step is mandatory before going to Sanadak.
Step 5 – Escalate to Sanadak
If the insurer still refuses:
-
Upload all documents
-
Provide policy wording
-
Attach denial letter
-
Explain why refusal is unfair
Sanadak reviews and orders the insurer to comply if your case is valid.
