I have been out of the UAE for a few years and can't recall car insurance being that much of a rip-off??
Just had an RSA quote for a 350k F-Type R come in at AED10,500. That's about 2,300 quid!
Admiral in the UK would do that for less than 600 quid for me.
So why do UAE insurance companies hit the 'x4' button, because they sure as hell dont have all the compensation and accident management claims to put up with.
At least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask. etc.
Any advice for decent, reasonable insurance?

Just laziness by the insurance companies.
I guess its great if you are a 19 year old local kid, jumping straight into a AED20k 1990 5.0 mustang straight from your back yard quad bike; pay your 600 chips and off you go. Straight into an accident.
But an....ahem....40 something, with a like of a nice car and a bit of comfort, driving 2 miles to work and back gets shafted.

Plus you're effectively insuring the car here not the driver.
Oh and the arse has fallen out of the pound since you left, which has it's up sides!
I've been working in Saudi with 45% salary uplift. Been watching the arse fall out of the pound with glee. Damn that PM May with her coherent plan for Brexit, taken the edge off it a bit. I want USD parity!!Oh and the arse has fallen out of the pound since you left, which has it's up sides!
I might have to change the car plans, I'm not sure if I can swallow paying so much for insurance.
