Buying a used car in Portugal
Buying a used car in Portugal, we received a quote fully comp from Maria within an hour. I always find the price of insurance in Portugal very high compared to what I would have paid in the UK, but, I know that Maria got us the best price with a reputable company. Thanks

Excellent service
I needed an insurance for my new motorbike and Artur from Abbeygate was able to give me one in spite of it being on a weekend. Everything was explained to me clearly so it was easy on which insurance coverage to select. I highly recommend this company.

After a very difficult period where Abbeygate were not replying to emails Laura became involved. She quickly updated my account,new premiums paid.
The issue was due to a previous employee who had left the company.
Abbeygate should inform clients of agent changes and certainly remove them from the email system (auto response needed)

Great service
Have been insured with Abbeygate for seven years for motor insurance. Sandra is very helpful, as are the rest of the staff. All speak good English which eases the process. Just before renewal I get an email followed by a phone call to complete the renewal. Seamless transaction, I would definitely highly recommend.

Excellent service from Yvonne re cruise specific travel insurance.
We recently received excellent service from Yvonne regarding cruise specific travel insurance. Yvonne found us suitable cover at a reasonable cost and is always available to answer any queries.
We also use Abbeygate for our health cover and receive excellent service from Maria. She recently negotiated a discounted premium on our health policy renewal which we were very happy about.
I highly recommend Abbeygate for all insurance requirements.

Excellent customer service
Both Artur and Yvonne were extremely helpful in getting our house and travel insurance organised. We also have our car insurance with Abbeygate. It is so helpful to have everything explained in English and all our questions were answered. Nothing was too much trouble.

Excellent, prompt service!!!
Just moved to Portugal as an "expat" and needed insurance for my new house and new car. I made some research by requesting quotes from four different brokers representing different insurance companies but with the excellent service and prompt replies with clear communication from Yvonne, my choice stopped at Abbeygate. Besides the professional services received, Yvonne got me a reputable 'worry free' insurance company at a very reasonable price compare to quotes received by other brokers. Thanks again Yvonne.
