Souqalmal.com, the UAE’s leading insurance and personal finance comparison site, has just announced that UAE residents will now be able to search for, compare and buy travel insurance through its brand new travel insurance vertical.

There is also a call center dedicated to answering questions and offering support wherever required, and it operates 7 days a week.

But that isn’t all. Souqalmal.com’s service offering comes with a unique edge, as Ambareen Musa, Founder & CEO of Souqalmal.com explains, “What sets us apart from other travel insurance aggregators in the market is our ‘100 per cent online’ end-to-end customer journey. What that means is anyone looking for travel insurance can search for, compare, buy and receive their travel insurance policy entirely online. You don’t have to wait for quotes to be emailed to you or schedule call-backs from agents.”

To further enhance customer experience, Souqalmal.com is also adding speed to the mix. Once the payment is made and travel documents uploaded,  the travel insurance policy is in your mailbox within 20 minutes.

Musa adds, “We’re equipping our customers with the information and tools they need to choose the right travel insurance policy. And we want them to be able to do so as quickly as possible. Not only do we provide a platform where customers are able to see their options but we allow them to complete their purchase of their chosen policy within minutes.”

A recent survey conducted by Souqalmal.com showed that close to 63% of UAE residents would prefer to buy travel insurance online, and one-third of the respondents were most likely to visit a comparison site to search for a suitable cover.

According to Musa, “The popularity of online channels, coupled with a growing demand from users to add more verticals to our current car insurance comparison platform is what prompted us to launch the travel insurance vertical.”
