Our first choice

As a UK parented org., we opted for Aviva immediately. It's great to work with a company we know.

There have been a few hiccups - but these are always ironed out.

We can tell Aviva intend to take a massive slice of the UAE market by their approach.

We look forward to this meaning the flexibility of their plans and the stability of pricing improves.

Expert Assessment of Aviva Insurance

Whilst still relatively new to the UAE market, Aviva is extremely well known as an established brand in the UK. This has enabled them to carry over their experience and customer service to the UAE. They offer a high-level individual product with a basic module, and 3 other modules that can be added on to the basic (Gulf Solution 1 plan).

As they are still in the growth phase, the plans need to adapt to the market demand. We’re looking forward to Aviva offering options for co-insurance, deductibles, along with different levels of dental care. Currently, these plans are fixed and therefore cannot be customised to reduce the cost for our clients.

Aviva medical insurance is a great option for UK expats, as they offer full direct billing in the UK.
