What to know before you insure your Yaris
| Your question | The answer | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| What is a new Yaris worth? | A new 2026 Yaris costs AED 64,900 for the 1.5 E and AED 74,900 for the 1.5 G, including VAT. The value on your policy depends on the version. | Have your invoice ready when you ask for cover. |
| Is your Yaris a hatchback or a sedan? | It depends on the year. Hatchbacks with 1.3 and 1.5 engines are shown for 2016 to 2020. Later cars are sedans only. | Tell your insurer the body type and model year. |
| Is your older Yaris in the Takata campaign? | It could be. Al-Futtaim names Yaris hatchbacks from 2005 to 2008 and sedans from 2005 to 2011 for airbag inflator replacement. | Check your VIN (vehicle identification number) on toyota.ae. |
| Want the dealer to do your repairs? | This is called agency repair, and it depends on your car’s age. Al Wathba limits it to cars up to two years old, Al Sagr and Orient Motor Plus to three. After year three, it is up to your insurer and an extra premium. | Ask how many years your policy includes it. |
| Would a flood be covered? | Not under standard terms, which exclude natural disasters. Some insurers add flood or storm cover. | Check your policy names flood and storm. |
