A strange place to ask! How about asking AXA or RSA for a quote?

As has been said, speak to an insurance company - preferably several. The price is really just a percentage of the car's value, but some companies will bump up the premium for younger drivers (under 25) and so on.

Provide proof of your no-claims bonus from your existing insurer and you might get a better deal from a UAE insurer.

Try AXA they accept no claims discount from UK, you will need no claims letter from your previous insurance provider in UK. They offered me 3.75% of the value of the car.

Who decides how much the car is valued at? I mean, do they have the equivelent of Parkers guides over there?

Your insurance company might say your (say) mustang is valued at 130k where as you might have only paid 100k. See what i'm sayin?

For new cars, they use the dealer invoice price. Never bought a second-hand car out here, so don't know if they apply their own valuation or ask you to provide evidence of what you paid.

if they don't agree with your valuation just take the car to the dealer and get a valuation certificate.
