I need Renters Insurance for an apartment in Spain, does anyone know any good companies?

Question

I want to rent a apt in Spain I live here permanently,when you rent here normally you leave a few months deposit, but the apt I want to move into has requested that everyone has renters insurance. They say it will cost between 30 or 40 euros per month. Is this an average price? Does anyone know of any companies selling Renters Ins on the Costa Blanca? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

Most banks do insurance now for houses so you could ask in your bank here.

Answer 2

I was in your position some time ago, and an actual renters insurance does not exist. However, I did get a normal contents cover (they will ask you if you are the owner or renter). I got mine through a German friend who saw an ad in a German newspaper, I paid 60€ for the year but can't remember the brokers details. However I was insured with Lloyd's. 30-40€ a month sounds excessive to me but it can be up to around 200€ a year. What the owners need to have for ANY insurance is either or both rejas (grills on the windows) or an alarm as you will NOT  get insured with anyone without it here. (I sell property) because whilst YOU want contents cover THEY are responsible for buildings insurance for their property.

Try www.intasure.com as they do all kinds of insurance including holiday/rental property.

Or if not buy the Costa Blanca news and ring a few brokers and ask what they charge....be a little shrewd as prices can vary greatly.

Good luck
