Road Tripping to Oman This Eid? Here’s Your Essential Insurance Guide

Sat, May 23, 2026(45d ago)World

As the Eid Al Fitr holidays approach, many UAE residents are planning scenic road trips to Oman to enjoy its stunning mountains and coastlines. Traveling by car is a popular, cost-effective alternative to flying, though travelers should prepare for potential traffic congestion at the border. To ensure a smooth journey, it is vital to have your essential documents in order, including your driver’s license, vehicle registration (Mulkiya), and the mandatory "Orange Card," which serves as your cross-border insurance certificate.

Securing an Orange Card is straightforward: start by checking if your existing policy already extends coverage to Oman. If it does, your provider can issue the card digitally or physically at no extra cost. If your current policy is UAE-only, you can request a coverage extension from your insurer for a small fee. While temporary insurance can be purchased directly at the border crossing, keep in mind that this typically only covers third-party liability rather than damage to your own vehicle, and it comes with a minimum five-day charge of approximately Dh105. Being prepared ahead of time will save you both money and time, allowing you to enjoy your holiday without unnecessary border delays.
