Insurance Spain Insurance Spanish Insurance

Insurance in Spain is much the same as insurance anywhere, you need to make sure that you have adequate Spanish Life Insurance, Spanish Car Insurance, Spanish Home Insurance and it is also worth looking at private health Insurance in Spain if your pocket allows it.

Some of the larger UK Insurance companies such as Direct Line (Linea Directa) are now moving into Spain with the aim of appealing to both the Spanish home Market and the huge UK Expat Market that now exists on the larger Costas.

There are a large number of UK owned Banks such as Halifax Espana and Barclays Bank in Spain that are able to offer a wide range of personal insurance products to their mortgage and banking clients.

One of the largest forms of Spanish Insurance taken out by UK residents moving to Spain is Private Medical Insurance. A number of companies offer a whole variety of Health Insurance in Spain but probably one of the larger and best known companies is Sanitas.

Sanitas are actually part of BUPA and there are many features within their plans that benefit Expats. One of the key features of one of their plans is the ability to use the health insurance policy in both the UK and Spain. Another large Spanish Insurance company to look at is Mapfre.

The decision on whether to take out Spanish Travel Insurance is really not a question for consideration. No matter how good you have heard the E111 form is to use during your stay in Spain we strongly recommend that you take out some form of private travel insurance.
