Policybazaar.ae, a digital insurance marketplace operating across the region, has announced a new comprehensive car insurance plan in partnership with Watania Takaful and automotive service provider Pitstop Automotive Services LLC, known as Pitstop360. The plan, called Watania Takaful – PB Auto Care Advantage (Pitstop P360), is available to Policybazaar.ae customers and marks the first motor insurance product of its kind in the UAE to be backed by a premium garage network.

The plan combines standard comprehensive motor cover with access to repairs at Pitstop’s facilities and a range of car care benefits. It is designed to offer customers more than a basic insurance policy by building garage access and servicing benefits directly into the product.

Customers on the plan receive priority claims handling and repairs at Pitstop’s workshops in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain. The plan aims to give drivers consistent access to quality repairs throughout their ownership of a vehicle, rather than limiting premium service options to the early years of a car’s life.

Neeraj Gupta, Chief Executive Officer of Policybazaar.ae, said: “At Policybazaar.ae, our goal has always been to go beyond selling insurance and truly improve the customer ownership journey. Watania Takaful – PB Auto Care Advantage (Pitstop P360) reflects that philosophy of combining comprehensive coverage with tangible, everyday benefits and premium repairs customers can trust. In the UAE, agency repair is easily available in the first two years of a vehicle’s life. By year three, options tighten, and by year four they are nearly non-existent, even though most new cars carry a five-year manufacturer warranty. Customers are often forced to choose between affordability and protecting their warranty. Through this partnership, we eliminate that trade-off. With Pitstop operating under the AGMC umbrella, AGMC brand vehicles or any other, can be repaired while keeping their manufacturer warranty intact. This is not just a product enhancement; it is a structural upgrade to the motor insurance ecosystem.”

Hamad Sharaf, General Manager of Watania Takaful, added: “This partnership enables us to integrate our takaful-based protection model with a strengthened service ecosystem that prioritizes customer experience. Today’s customers expect more than coverage; they expect efficiency, transparency, and reliability at the moment of a claim. Through Watania Takaful – PB Auto Care Advantage (Pitstop P360), we are ensuring a seamless claims journey and high-quality repair standards, further reinforcing our commitment to customer-first insurance solutions.”

Ezat Antaki, CEO of Pitstop Automotive Services LLC, commented: “Pitstop was established to deliver dealership-grade expertise with a seamless customer experience. Through this collaboration, Policybazaar.ae customers gain direct access to our premium workshops, certified technicians, and advanced repair capabilities, ensuring quality without compromise. This innovation would not have been possible without the strategic guidance and vision of Dr. Hamid Haqparwar, Managing Director, AGMC, and Mr. Atiqur Rahman, Director, AGMC, whose leadership continues to strengthen the integration between automotive excellence and customer-centric service solutions.”

The launch reflects a wider shift in the motor insurance market, where products are moving away from simple annual cover towards integrated ownership solutions. By including premium repairs, servicing access, and lifestyle benefits within the policy itself, Policybazaar.ae is offering drivers a more complete and consistent ownership experience.
