Arabia Insurance – Jordan (AICJ) vs Jordan Insurance Company (JIC)

Two Jordan business insurance options, compared side by side for Jordan trades.

Which should you choose?

Jordan Insurance Company (JIC) edges ahead on our Jordan tiering (Tier S vs A), but both are workable — the right pick depends on your trade, region, and the Jordan-specific notes below.

Arabia Insurance – Jordan (AICJ)

Tier A · Workable

Full engineering-line insurer with English product pages

Incorporated 1975, Amman-HQ, ASE-listed — an established multi-line Jordanian insurer with a clearly documented engineering line.

Pros

  • + Full CAR + EAR + Plant & Machinery on an English page (rare in JO)
  • + Operating since 1975
  • + ASE-listed
  • + Broad engineering sub-lines

Cons

  • − No online quote
  • − No decennial/latent-defect product
  • − Professional indemnity not confirmed on the engineering page
  • − Brand confusable with the regional Arabia Insurance

Jordan note

Its English engineering page explicitly lists Contractor’s All Risks, Erection All Risks, Plant & Machinery, Machinery Breakdown and more — useful when you want the cover spelled out in English before talking to a broker.

Typical Jordan pricing: Quote-only via broker/agent.

Jordan Insurance Company (JIC)

Tier S · Recommended

Jordan’s oldest insurer (since 1951)

Founded 1951 — the oldest insurer in Jordan and among the oldest in the Middle East. ASE-listed, operating in Jordan, the UAE and Kuwait; a long-standing top-tier multi-line insurer and reinsurer.

Pros

  • + Oldest and most established Jordanian insurer
  • + CAR + Erection All Risks + Plant & Machinery
  • + Also offers professional indemnity
  • + Regional reach; ASE-listed

Cons

  • − No fetchable static product page (JS-rendered)
  • − No online quote
  • − No decennial cover evidenced
  • − Thin English engineering detail

Jordan note

Heritage plus a JO/UAE/KW footprint and a documented engineering line that includes professional indemnity — a solid established option, though you’ll confirm the specifics through an agent.

Typical Jordan pricing: Quote-only via broker/agent.
