Car insurance is obligatory in Qatar, it’s not a something that you may or may not do, instead, any new car must be insured for at least 12 months before being registered.

Driving without a valid car insurance is regarded as an illegal action in Qatar which is penalized, however, drivers may have a month grace if the 12-month period is over.

In Qatar, it is the car that gets insured not the driver, so once a car is insured, anyone having a valid driving license can drive it.

Costs of insurance in Qatar is estimated according to the car value. The benchmark cost starts from 6% of the car value and rises up for fancy, high-performance and expensive vehicles.

Second, insurance becomes invalid if the driver was found to be driving off-road or drinking alcohol, however, some insurance agencies cover off-road accidents.

Third, driving in other GCC states is covered by some agencies, but not all, so, if you travel a lot around GCC areas, you need to check before purchasing a policy.
