New member discount

If you're resident in Dubai or the Northern Emirates, we're offering a lifetime discount of 16% on the premiums you pay when you purchase a new health insurance policy commencing on or before 31 May 2024. The 16% discount applies to your first year's premium and every subsequent year's premium. The discount applies automatically, so you don't need to reference a promo code or specifically request the discount. Individuals and families will receive the discount, but not companies.

Our experience with William Russell has been top-notch. In over 10 years with your company, we’ve always been pleasantly surprised with the service we receive, so thanks once again.

A quick message from our founder, Inez Cooper

What's the main problem with insurance? 
You just don't know if your insurance company will pay up when you make a claim.

With big insurance companies, what happens if you fall through the cracks? Sometimes a company has too many customers. They don't have the time to give an individual customer the time they need.

But with a small insurance company, can you be sure that they have resources to pay your claim if something really bad happens?

This dilemma is why I founded William Russell, 30 years ago. I wanted to build a medium-sized company that hired good people and focused on customer service, but with the financial security of a respected insurer behind the policies.

That's William Russell today: a company with wonderful customer service and insurance policies backed by Dubai Insurance Company.

In the past 30 years, we've provided insurance to expats in 160+ countries and I'd love to help you too. Give us a try and, if you don't like us for any reason, you can cancel within 30 days.

Inez Cooper
Founder & Managing Director

No. The promotion is only available on policies where the members are resident in Dubai or the Northern Emirates.

Q. Is the promotion available in all emirates?

Q. Where can I see full T&Cs for the promotion?

The T&Cs are available on our website.

Q. I've not heard of William Russell. Should I trust you?

True, we're one of the smaller expat insurance providers. But we've been in business for 30 years. Our policies are insured by Dubai Insurance Company, one of the oldest insurance companies in the UAE. We adhere to strict data protection protocols (ISO 27001 certified).
