Policybazaar.ae and Watania Takaful launch UAE’s first premium garage-backed motor insurance plan
Policybazaar.ae, in partnership with Watania Takaful, has introduced ‘Watania Takaful – PB Auto Care Advantage (Pitstop P360)’, described as the UAE’s first premium garage-backed motor insurance plan. The solution is launched in collaboration with Pitstop Automotive Services LLC (Pitstop360).
The new offering combines comprehensive motor insurance coverage with guaranteed access to premium garage repairs and value-added automotive services, exclusively available to Policybazaar.ae customers. The initiative aims to redefine the post-purchase motor insurance experience, shifting from a transactional model to an integrated ownership solution.
Through the partnership, policyholders receive priority claims servicing and repairs at Pitstop’s advanced facilities located across Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain. The service promises faster turnaround times and dealership-grade workmanship, addressing a long-standing gap in the market for vehicles beyond their initial agency repair period.
Neeraj Gupta, CEO of Policybazaar.ae, stated that the product reflects the company’s commitment to enhancing the customer ownership journey. He noted that while agency repairs are typically available during the first two years of a vehicle’s life, options narrow significantly in subsequent years — despite many vehicles carrying a five-year manufacturer warranty. The partnership aims to eliminate the trade-off between affordability and warranty protection by enabling repairs that preserve manufacturer warranties.
Hamad Sharaf, General Manager at Watania Takaful, said the collaboration integrates the insurer’s takaful-based protection model with a strengthened service ecosystem focused on efficiency, transparency, and reliability during the claims process.
Ezat Antaki, CEO of Pitstop Automotive Services LLC, highlighted that the initiative provides Policybazaar.ae customers with direct access to certified technicians, advanced repair capabilities, and premium workshops, ensuring quality repairs without compromise.
