RSA Company Overview
The RSA Insurance Group is one of the largest insurance companies in the world and has been operating in the UAE for more than 60 years. In fact they opened their first office here in 1956. They have offices in Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi, as well as call centers across the region.
The company aims to put innovation at the heart of their business, and they have a wide range of products targeting the general consumer. As well as offering car insurance, they also offer home insurance, travel insurance, personal accident insurance and even golf insurance. RSA business products include motor fleet insurance.
The company was formed in London in 1996 through the merger of Sun Alliance and Royal Insurance, but it is descended from the world’s first insurance company, the Sun Fire Office, which was founded in 1710.

RSA Insurance FAQs
What is the excess (deductible)?
The excess is the amount you contribute to your claim(s) after an accident. For example, if the excess is AED 500 and repairs to your car amount to AED 4,000 then you will pay AED 500 and RSA (or any other insurance company) pays out the remaining AED 3,500
Does RSA cover Oman and other GCC countries?
The Sultanate of Oman is included within your policy and covers third party liability and own damage. However other GCC countries are not included.
Can other people drive the car insured by RSA under my name?
If you give consent and the person has had their driving license for more than a year and are over the age of 25, they can drive your car.
Can I transfer my car insurance to a new owner?
You cannot transfer a policy from one driver to another because the driver’s claim history affects the insurance premium and terms.
