what boost says is wrong...

depending on what car u get, ur age and what type of coverage you have - your insurance can be very different.
for example a 97 model would allow you to only have 3rd party insurance. Hence ur probably going to pay in the region of 600-900 yearly.

Insurance also depends on the "value" of the car and the type of car. In general, even if u are 21 - and u want full coverage, it will cost you around 5-7% of that value.
So u buy a car for 20,000Aed - 5% = 1000AED / year.

two door cars have a higher insurance rate, as well as some 4 doors - the maxima and the Lumina SS (from what i hear, are some examples)
