Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Monday, April 4th 2016 [ME NewsWire]

We’ve all thought about it: owning our dream car. But there is more than just the cost of the car to consider when you buy a car worth AED 300,000+. One important consideration is insurance, which will be a recurring cost for as long as you own the vehicle.

MoveSouq.com sat down with Prasanna Venkatesh, Vice President for Motor Underwriting at QIC Insured, to provide a guide to insuring a luxury car.

MS: What about the type of car? Are luxury sedans si ... Read more »
