Expert Assessment of RAK Insurance

RAK Insurance are a good local insurer option, with their team being very helpful and willing to assist us, although they are sometimes constraint by their internal protocols and processes.

They are a good corporate option as they are a PI meaning they can offer plans to members earning less than AED 4,000. They can also be a good SME option, but they have a limited number of “off the shelf” policies which can sometimes be difficult to perfectly match to a client's specific requirements. Except for the EBP plans, the members don’t experience too many issues with their policies and Third Party Administrators, and the RAK accounts team are also efficient in ensuring all payments are processed in good time.

RAK are not often the most cost-effective option, but they are also never the most expensive. With their flexibility, we are normally able to present a suitable option for our clients.
