GIG Gulf offers war cover as a seamless, straightforward optional add-on to personal motor and commercial fleet policies, drawing on its position as a topcomposite insurer across the region.
Dubai, UAE, 21stJuly 2026– GIG Gulf, an ‘A’ rated insurer with over 70 years heritage in the region and a top five position in the market across the UAE, Oman, Bahrain and Qatar, today announced that war cover is now available as an add-on for comprehensive personal motor policies and select commercial fleet policies in the UAE. Customersare nowable to choose from three levels of cover to suit their needs and budget.
Paul Adamson, CEO, GIG Gulf.
Previously, standard motor insurance policies have always excluded war-related damage. For most of the region’s history, that exclusion sat quietly in the small print, rarely tested, rarely questioned. As the risk landscape has shifted, a small number of insurers have begun to offer some form of cover, but this sits often as a single, costly add-on that puts the product out of reach for many drivers and businesses.
GIG Gulf’s approach is different: three clear options, added in the same way customers already buy or renew their policy, backed by the scale and stability of a regional insurer operating across Gulf markets.
War cover can be added online when purchasing or renewing a comprehensive personal motor or commercial fleet policy, or by contacting the GIG Gulf customer care team for existing policyholders.
“Real commitment means being there for the moments that matter most to our customers. That’s why we’ve added war cover to motor and fleet policies, giving people and businesses the peace of mind they deserve.”Paul Adamson, CEO, GIG Gulf.
The commercial fleet offering is a meaningful step forward for businesses running vehicles in the UAE, as well as for logistics operators and corporate fleets who have had limited, often impractical options for this type of cover until now. GIG Gulf’s war protection gives them a straightforward route to protecting their assets.
GIG Gulf remains committed to standing by the region and the countries in which it operates, protecting the people and businesses within them. Motorists, logistics providers and fleet operators are central to the UAE’s economy, and GIG Gulf has structured its coverage to protect this sector against an evolving risk landscape.
As the region grows and evolves, so does GIG Gulf; building insurance solutions shaped by the real risks customers and businesses face.
