Getting the Best Quotes

The Spanish word for insurance is seguros.

Insurance in Spain is a massively important subject – as a foreigner in Spain it is more likely that things can go wrong and that you could end up in situations you do not fully understand.

Finding yourself uninsured or under-insured could be financially disastrous.

When unexpected disasters happen in your home country they are bad enough but when they happen in a foreign country such as Spain you just want to deal with them and get through them in the easiest and most convenient way possible.

As expatriates (expats) ourselves in Spain we understand that when you are looking for costs and quotes for insurance in Spain it is so important that you understand exactly what cover you get and what levels of after-care support do you receive in the event of a claim being necessary.

There is no absolutely no point paying annual insurance premiums and not having the right or adequate levels of cover and protection when you really need it.

Insurance Brokers

As well as direct insurance providers we take a look at the many independent Spanish insurance brokers who often will be able to compare quotes and go to the marketplace to find you the lowest and cheapest annual premiums that you wouldn’t be able to source or find yourself.

Remember that living in spain, you are living in a foreign country – don’t assume things are the same as you have experienced elsewhere! Always get things in writing and don’t just rely on what an insurance broker or insurance agent tells you.

Unlike other countries the concept of all-risk or all risks in Spain is a foreign one so you do need to know the differences between insurance policies and coverage in Spain compared to what you are used to in your home country.

You do need to be careful when seeking advice because insurance brokers in Spain get paid on commission and you need to be sure you are getting the best advice and not being directed to Spanish insurance companies or providers purely based on the size of the commissions.

Brokers providing services in English include: Knight Insurance Spain, INOV Insurance, Abbeygate Insurance, Nash Warren Insurance, Expat Insurance in Spain, The Insurance Centre, Hamiltons, IBEX Insurance, Easy Insurance Spain/Easy Cover, , IIS (Insure in Spain) and Dragon Insurance.

Websites To Compare Insurances

Unlike the United Kingdom, Spain does not have the variety of sites which will help you to compare insurance prices between the various providers. In the UK websites such as Go Compare, Compare the Market, Confused.com and Money Supermarket are household names that Spain does not have as yet.

There is now a new price comparison website which can compare prices and quotes from many different companies for car insurance, motorbike/motorcycle insurance, health insurance, home/house insurance and life insurance. A new comparison site for Spanish insurance from Asesor Seguros compares prices between of the best insurance companies.

You will then be able to make an informed decision about which coverage and policy to choose although price is just one factor. Knowing the benefits of each policy and the after-sales service should you need to make a claim is equally as important as finding the cheapest quote.

Jargon & Terminology Explained

Unfortunately when it comes to insurance there is a lot of jargon and contracts contain a lot of terms and words which most people find hard to understand.

Put simply, insurance involves a contract between two parties.

You are often referred to as the insured and the company who insure you are referred to as the insurer.

Your contract is often referred to as a policy (póliza in Spanish). This sets out in writing the terms and conditions of the agreement between you both.

You the insured agree to make specific payments for an agreed period (usually one year) and that payment of the premiums means the insurer indemnifies you against certain specified risks i.e. accidents, damages, theft etc.

The item that is insured is referred to as the subject, often a car, house or even yourself.

Should a claim be necessary, the contract will specify the precise amount(s) to be paid to the beneficiary.
