Maya Kallio & Marco Elsinger
Maya Kallio & Marco ElsingerLicensed Insurance Agents · DGSFP

A complete 2026 guide explaining how an English-speaking insurance broker in Spain works, what types of cover expats really need, approximate price ranges, and how ExpatInsurances.es helps you compare Spanish insurers and get the right policy with confidence.

Quick Summary

Using a licensed, English-speaking insurance broker in Spain helps you understand how Spanish insurance works, compare offers from multiple insurers, get residency-compliant policies, and handle all your insurance needs with one trusted partner who speaks your language.

  • Compare multiple Spanish insurers instead of getting just one quote
  • Get residency-compliant policies for non-lucrative, digital nomad, student, and family visas
  • English, Spanish, German and Finnish support for all insurance types
  • Since 2012, we've helped over 15,000 expats across Spain
  • Handle claims and policy changes with multilingual assistance

Why Use an English-Speaking Insurance Broker in Spain in 2026?

Spain has a strong insurance market, but most information, call centres and policy documents are still in Spanish. For expats, that creates three problems: you're never 100% sure what is and isn't covered, you don't know if the offer you have is actually good value, and you may miss important conditions that affect visas or claims.

How an Insurance Broker in Spain Actually Works

Many expats are used to buying insurance directly from a website or bank. In Spain, using a broker is often easier and safer, especially if you are new to the system.

We Work for You

We're independent from any single insurer. Our role is to analyze your needs and check options with multiple providers.

No Extra Cost

You don't pay extra for our advice – our commission is paid by the insurer, not by you.

Handle Paperwork

We help with policy documents in Spanish and English, official visa certificates, and proof for banks or landlords.

When Should You Contact an Insurance Broker in Spain?

You should talk to us before:

Applying for a non-lucrative visa, digital nomad visa, student visa or family reunification
Buying or renting a property in Spain and needing home or landlord insurance
Registering your car on Spanish plates or bringing a vehicle from abroad
Opening a business or registering as an autónomo
Taking out life insurance for a new mortgage or family protection
Already have policies but want to improve coverage or price
Need support with a claim or policy renewal

Frequently asked questions

Still have questions? Check these answers or get in touch.

Is my European Health Insurance Card enough?

No – EHIC is meant for short stays and emergencies, not for long-term residency. Most expats still need private medical insurance for visa applications and comprehensive healthcare coverage.

Can I insure my car if I'm not yet resident?

In many cases yes, but conditions depend on your documents, driving licence and plate status. We check the options across insurers for you to find the best solution for your situation.

Can I have one broker for all my insurance in Spain?

Yes. Many clients prefer to have one English-speaking contact for health, car, home, life and business insurance. This simplifies communication and ensures all your policies work together properly.

Do I pay extra to use a broker?

No. Our commission is paid by the insurer, not by you. Using a broker often helps you find better value policies because we can compare multiple providers and explain coverage details clearly.

Ready to get covered?

When you're ready, compare real insurance options in Spain and request a personalised quote in English.
