Mario Cornejo Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Prior to acquiring car insurance has anyone here had to deal with ESMA (Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology)? Today I was getting a quote from one of the well known insurance providers in Dubai, the person asked the usual questions about year, make, model, etc, and then asked if the car had been modified. Well it seems that suspension mods are something this company is concerned about and explained that in order to get insurance I would have to get authorization from ESMA for the mods ... 🙄 I will appreciate your comments, especially if you've gone through something similar. Thanks in advance to all. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawad Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) I just called them to find out for my self, and apparently ESMA merged with the ministry of industry and advanced technology, and they now rely on ATCUAE for car inspections. as per my conversation with their CS, they care about emissions, having headers, noisy exhaust, and insanely overpowered setups that are no where near any safety standard they advised me to inspect the car at ATCUAE center. phone number 042520022 Edited October 27, 2021 by Rawad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Alcala Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 I get my insurance the same day I inspect the car in the RTA and in the same office, so I haven't have any issue with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humayun Ghias Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 I would be interested to know which insurance company provides a good off road cover? Most of the fine print says there shouldn't be a competitive event happening. I am assuming carnity is not considered as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
