| Tips from MoveSouq.com and AIG
Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Thursday, March 17th 2016 [ME NewsWire]
UAE residents were shocked and awed by the strong wind and rains last week, which left some damaged cars and property in its wake. AIG, a Home Insurance provider in UAE, has partnered with home services site MoveSouq.com to assist residents in figuring out how to get help from their insurance companies to repair damaged homes.
Q: Does home insurance cover storm damage?
A: Yes. “In addition to storms, [AIG] also cover[s] other natural calamities such as flood and fire, as well as damage caused by burst water pipes, theft, and vandalism,” stated Ramsey Chami, the Head of Personal Property insurance at AIG. The bad news, according to MoveSouq.com CEO Bana Shomali, is that “very few people take these risks seriously and, as a result, do not buy home insurance.” AIG estimates that only about 6% of UAE residents actually have home insurance.
Q: How much does home insurance cost?
A: Home insurance is one of the most affordable insurance products available, with coverage starting around AED 250/year. The prevalence of recent incidents of fire and water damage, “coupled with the fact that a home insurance premium for a month could cost as little as AED 19, make it even more compelling to insure our precious homes and belongings,” concluded Mr. Chami.
MoveSouq.com allows customers to compare quotes for Home Insurance to find the product that fits their needs.
Q: I already have home insurance. How do I file a claim?
The first step is to contact the home insurance provider. Although each company is different when it comes to claims, AIG shared the steps it requires to report and collect on a claim:
After a loss, customers report claim as soon as possible
Within one business day, customers receive a claim acknowledgment
For simple cases, customers provide evidence that a claims expert reviews in-house to fast track the claim – a process that can take as little as one day
For complex claims, a dedicated loss adjuster must review the claim, often requiring a visit to the property to evaluate the loss.
AIG is currently offering a promotional discount on new home insurance policies for MoveSouq customers when they use MoveSouq.com.
