Insurance without the lost-in-translation moments

Moving to Spain brings sunshine, slower lunches and, sooner or later, paperwork. Few documents cause expats more anxiety than insurance policies, where a misunderstood clause can turn a minor mishap into a costly headache.

That is the gap Insure Spain sets out to fill. The company specialises in cover for foreign residents, whether they have settled permanently or are spending part of the year here, and its pitch is refreshingly simple: speak to people in their own language.

Its advisers know the challenges first-hand because, like their clients, they once chose to make a new life in Spain. That shared experience matters when you are trying to understand what your home policy really covers, or why a theft claim may not be as straightforward as it seems.

The range is broad. Alongside the essentials of car, house and health insurance, Insure Spain arranges business, liability, boat, golf and agricultural policies, plus life and funeral cover, an area many newcomers overlook until it is urgently needed.

Convenience is a recurring theme. Clients can deal with the team in person, by phone or online, and enquiries are answered seven days a week. Getting a quote means leaving a few details and waiting for a call back, while premiums can usually be paid monthly, quarterly, six-monthly or annually to suit household budgets. New customers are also given special rates when taking out a policy.

For anyone who has ever nodded politely through a Spanish-language insurance call, that reassurance is worth a great deal.
