Renewing motor insurance in Jordan typically involves contacting the current insurance provider or a new one to obtain a quote, providing necessary vehicle and personal details, and arranging payment for the new policy. The process aims to ensure continuous coverage.

Your timing

It is generally advisable to begin the motor insurance renewal process a few weeks before the current policy's expiration date. This allows sufficient time to compare quotes, complete any necessary paperwork, and arrange payment, ensuring there is no lapse in coverage. Some insurers may send renewal reminders in advance.

Start 21 days ahead

To allow for quote comparison and processing before the current policy expires.

The process

  2. 2Contact the current insurance provider or other licensed insurance companies to request renewal quotes.
  3. 3Provide necessary vehicle details (e.g., make, model, year, license plate number) and personal information to obtain an accurate quote.
  4. 4Compare the offered policies and choose the most suitable option based on coverage, price, and terms.
  5. 5Submit any required documentation, such as the vehicle's registration (license) and the owner's identification.
  6. 6Make the payment for the new insurance policy.
  7. 7Receive the new insurance certificate and ensure it is kept with the vehicle, as required by law.
