Here\u2019s what you need to know to claim any eligible refund:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Obtain the Buyer\u2019s Registration Card \/ Transfer Certificate \/ Possession Certificate<\/strong><br \/>\nOnce the sale is complete, take a clear photo of the new registration card issued, or the transfer certificate, or the possession certificate in the buyer\u2019s name, simply to show that you&#8217;re no longer owner of that vehicle. Insurers require this as proof of transfer before processing your cancellation and refund.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Understand the 13-Month Policy Structure<\/strong><br \/>\nUAE motor insurance policies typically run for 13 months, 12 months to cover your registration renewal cycle plus one extra month as a grace period. If you sell your car before the policy term ends, you may be eligible for a refund of the unused months, provided the remaining period exceeds six months.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Calculate Your Refund<\/strong><br \/>\nTo estimate your refund, divide your total premium by 12. For example, on a 2,000 AED annual policy, each month costs roughly 166.67 AED. If you have seven months left, your basic refund would be 7 \u00d7 166.67 = 1,166.69 AED. Keep in mind that insurers may deduct processing or service fees before issuing the final refund.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Submit Your Cancellation Request<\/strong><br \/>\nContact your insurance provider with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A copy of the buyer\u2019s registration card<\/li>\n<li>Your original policy documents<\/li>\n<li>A written request to cancel and refund the policy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Receive Your Refund<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter verification, the insurer will process the refund, usually crediting it back to your original payment method within a few weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Selling your car doesn\u2019t mean losing out on your insurance premium. By following these steps, you can reclaim the value of the unused coverage and move forward with confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Also have a look at: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/renewmycarregistration.com\/blog\/things-you-must-know-before-choosing-an-insurance-policy-for-your-car\/\">Things You Must Know Before Choosing An Insurance Policy For Your Car<\/a>&#8220;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Selling your car in the UAE doesn\u2019t mean forfeiting the unused portion of your insurance.
