Our Story

About Abbeygate Insurance

The largest insurance broker for expatriates in Portugal, serving the expat community since 2006.

Built for expats, by people who understand

Abbeygate was founded in 2006 with a clear mission: to provide expatriates in Portugal with the quality of insurance they deserve. As one of the first brokers to recognise the unique needs of the expat community, we've grown to become the island's largest insurance broker focused on expatriate services.

As a Lloyd's of London Coverholder, we bring the prestige and security of one of the world's most respected insurance markets directly to our clients. Every policy we issue carries the backing of Lloyd's — a name synonymous with trust, reliability, and comprehensive protection since 1688.

Our team is made up of experienced insurance professionals who have lived abroad themselves. We know first-hand the challenges of navigating insurance in a foreign country — the language barriers, the unfamiliar regulations, the uncertainty about what's truly covered. That's why every product we offer is designed from the ground up with expatriates in mind.

From our offices in Boliqueime, Loulé, we serve expats across Portugal with motor, home, travel, health, marine and business insurance. Our innovative online quoting system means you can get covered in minutes, not days — the way insurance should be.
