I had a very positive experience with Abbeygate Insurance. Soraia was particularly helpful—she responded quickly, understood my needs, and worked efficiently to find suitable solutions. Her professionalism and friendly approach made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I would definitely recommend their services.

Good servioce buy Abbeygate.

As expats in Portugal from South Africa we recently had to take out car insurance for our new car. After contacting several brokers and working through a mountain of paperwork (naturally in Portuguese) we found Abbeygate to offer the most protection for the best monthly rate, and an even better rate if paid annually. All the emails and some phone calls were done in English and we're very happy with the service of Francisco Borba. I will now investigate taking Health Insurance with Abbeygate as well. P&J

Car insurance arranged by Sandra R.

I have my car insurance arranged by Sandra Rodrigues at Abbeygate for a couple of years. She is always in time with the communication, professional, and - I believe - finds the best and most competitive policies. Her English is great and for me it is additional value to be able to communicate in English.

Poor service

Very disappointed with attitude of Abbeygate in respect of cancellation of a car insurance policy.
Been a customer of Abbeygate for both House and Car insurance for over 15 years but won't be using them again and will not be recommending them to other potential customers
