The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has announced a significant reduction in the cost of the Orange Card vehicle insurance, cutting the fee to one Omani rial effective January 2026, officials said.
The Orange Card is a mandatory motor insurance document required for vehicles travelling across the borders of participating Arab countries under the Arab Unified Motor Insurance Card Agreement. It provides essential third-party liability coverage for drivers crossing into neighboring states and simplifies procedures in the event of traffic accidents on international routes.
Previously priced at two rials, the card’s fee has now been slashed by 50 per cent in a move aimed at making cross-border travel more affordable for motorists, particularly those frequently driving to neighboring countries such as the United Arab Emirates.

The FSA said the revised pricing aligns with its ongoing efforts to regulate insurance service costs, promote fair pricing and reduce financial barriers for road users while maintaining necessary coverage and protections.
Motorists travelling internationally from Oman will benefit from the lower insurance cost, which is a prerequisite for vehicle entry into other Arab states that are signatories to the unified motor insurance scheme. The card remains essential for ensuring legal compliance and coverage should accidents occur outside national borders.
The move is expected to ease travel planning and support tourism and logistics by encouraging smoother and more cost-effective vehicular movement across the region.
