One of the best known long-standing insurance businesses in the Algarve is the David Hills Insurance Agency, based in Almancil.
Having moved to the Algarve with his family 20 years ago, David Hills soon saw that there was a need for expats to have the type of insurance service they had expected and received in their home country.
“In those days, insurance was very basic”, says David, “so we set up to provide simple things like household insurance and motor insurance and we have continued to expand since.”
The company, which has been in the current office in Almancil for the past 15 years, continues to build up a good reputation dealing largely with foreign clients. “It was very hard to get the business off the ground and running, but we stuck with it”, says David, who has seen many expats come and go over the years.
“So many people move over here, try and get a business going but give up too easily when they hit so many barriers.”
The company now offers a multitude of different types of insurance, from the simplest vehicle insurance to an annual travel cover which is the perfect alternative to purchasing it every time you want to go abroad – it is far more competitively priced. The policy covers cancellation and people up to 85 years old.
Tailormade insurance
Another very popular, and exclusive to David Hills, insurance cover is the Prima Ibérica Plan which is a comprehensive health care scheme , designed especially for people living and working in Portugal, Spain and Gibraltar, covering all of Europe.
For example, if you would prefer to see a specialist in Switzerland, the plan will cover you. The plan gives you the flexibility to tailor the cover to meet your individual requirements. As well as in-patient, day-patient and out-patient benefits, you have the option to choose routine dental treatment and evacuation and repatriation.
