Dubai Insurance wins bid to insure driverless taxi fleet

Dubai Insurance has been appointed as the 1st official insurance provider for the newly introduced autonomous taxi fleet operated by Dubai Taxi Company, marking the first time regionally that a fully driverless commercial taxi fleet is insured under a dedicated framework.

The announcement follows the recent introduction of self-driving taxis in Dubai, a pioneering initiative that reinforces the emirate's position as a global leader in smart mobility and future-forward infrastructure.

As part of Dubai's long-term vision to transform transportation through advanced technologies, the rollout of autonomous taxis represents a significant step toward integrating artificial intelligence into everyday urban life.

Abdellatif Abuqurah, CEO at Dubai Insurance, said, "We are proud to be part of a regional first, insuring autonomous taxi fleets in Dubai and supporting one of the most forward-thinking mobility initiatives in the world. This milestone reflects not only the rapid evolution of transportation, but also the need for the insurance sector to evolve alongside it."
