Twenty per cent of cars in Dubai are under-insured, according to MoveSouq and Qatar Insurance Company. The two companies surveyed over 45,000 cars, trucks and SUVs in the UAE and found an 80/20 split between cars that have comprehensive (full protection), as opposed to third party liability (TPL) insurance, which provides limited to no protection for a driver or their car if they cause an accident. According to the study, the Toyota Land Cruiser and the Nissan Patrol are the most frequently under-insured cars. Under-insured cars are those covered only by a third party liability policy, despite being eligible for comprehensive insurance.
