What Other Clients Say

Sarah M.

UK → Barcelona

I didn’t realise how different home insurance works in Spain, especially the part about liability to neighbours. UEI explained everything clearly and helped us understand what we actually needed. When we had a small leak last month, they guided us through the claim step-by-step and it was handled smoothly.

Michael R.

USA → Valencia

We were overwhelmed trying to compare different companies. UEI made it simple. They explained the policies in plain English and helped us choose the right level of coverage. When a repair was needed, they coordinated everything. The support has been excellent.

Anneke V.

Netherlands → Málaga

We own a second home and only visit a few times a year, so we needed insurance that covers the place while we’re not there. UEI helped us choose a holiday home policy that actually made sense. Clear advice, no pressure, and they are easy to reach when needed.

Mark T.

Ireland → Madrid

What made the biggest difference was having someone explain the policy wording in a way we truly understood. We didn’t feel rushed or pushed to buy. It felt like speaking to someone who knows how expats live in Spain and the challenges that come with it.

Jessica L

Canada → Valencia

As a renter, I didn’t realise my landlord’s insurance didn’t cover my belongings or damage to neighbours. UEI set up the right tenant contents cover and made the process straightforward. All communication is in English, which was a huge relief.

Tomás G.

Argentina → Alicante

We also rent our property occasionally, so we needed protection against unpaid rent and occupation issues. UEI explained all the legal differences and helped us choose the right rent guarantee cover. Honest guidance and very good follow-up.
