Hi Cookie68,
Speak to Alfonso at Gran Alacant Insurances, he advertises on this forum and has many very good reviews from other members:
Kind regards,

We used Gran Alacant Ins Servs (,Alfonso) but ended up paying €8000 euros we could I'll afford for a NOT PRE EXISTING CANCER CONDITION. Diagnosis was covered but NOT treatment. We had to pay for Radiotherapy. We were told it covered everything apart from pre existing conditions. Both he and SALUS were hiding when it came to the claim. He only deals with SALUS. So beware and check the cover.

Hi Jojo,
I'm sorry to hear of your experience. I have no knowledge of Salus, but yours is the first negative review that I've seen of Gran Alacant Insurance.
I think there's an issue in Spain, because they don't appear to have insurance "brokers", as we're used to in the UK, who trawl the whole market to get their customers the best deal. Instead, there are agents who sell just one product, e.g. Salus. It means that we, as the customers, have to go to several different agents to get a range of competitive quotes. I obtained 6 quotations and ultimately opted for ASSSA, through Jennifer Cunningham agents, but I think your example shows that it's only really possible to suggest an insurance company is good, or not, once you have experience of how they deal with claims.
Best wishes,
Kim

Hi, we got several quotes before going with Salus.
Comparing them was not easy but we used a checklist provided by CAB Spain to ensure our cover was comprehensive.
Unfortunately, we have both had some health issues since moving and the service provided has been excellent.
