Car Insurance Renewal
As every year we have to renew our car insurance, I had a suprise recently. Ahlea Insurance Co, is the people with whom I have insured, send me a SMS a week before reminding of Renewal of Car Passing ( Which is real painful for Old car owners in Kuwait). They charged me only KD18 instead of normal rate of KD 19.
Probably they are companies in Kuwait who might be giving more discount.
