Cover all life’s risks with the right insurance

Expat Insurances in The Netherlands

 

Find the ideal insurance solutions to protect your future and save money. We offer a wide range of insurance options, carefully comparing offers from various companies to secure the right coverage for expats.

Housing insurances

House insurance is also commonly called homeowner’s insurance. House insurance policy pays to repair or rebuild your home if it is damaged or destroyed by fire, hurricane, hail, lightning or other disasters listed in your policy. This insurance is compulsory when you are buying a property with a mortgage, as the bank will want to make sure you have coverage as damages can be significant. Besides house insurance, it is also common to get household insurance. Household insurance is a policy that covers your home contents against loss, damage, or theft. It will also insure your contents from any water leakage or damage caused by storms or flooding. Typical items covered by a policy include furniture, clothes, electrical items, money, and jewelry.

Life insurance

Life insurance protects your family and lets you leave them a non-taxable amount at the time of death. It is also often used to cover (part of) your mortgage. The important thing is to choose the right life insurance to match your budget and needs. Over the years, your needs, your family situation, and your life goals will evolve. When that happens, it will be time for you to re-evaluate the right type of insurance to ensure you are covered properly. You are never too young to think about life insurance, the younger you are, the lower the premium will be. Our financial advisors are here to advice you.

Health insurance

If you’re looking for the most suitable Dutch health insurance, you’ve come to the right place! We work with multiple health insurers and compare on both coverage and pricing. Health insurance is by law compulsory for expats living here and you have four months after arrival to arrange this. Want to find out more about health insurance? Check our blog on how Dutch health insurances work.

Dutch expat moving abroad?

Working abroad is a unique experience and often an interesting opportunity for your career. But also if you are going on a longer trip abroad, backpacking, au pair or volunteer work, study or internship, you would want to have your insurances arranged as well as in The Netherlands. In most cases it will save you money and you will know what to expect with regard to service and coverage. We offer tailor-made expat insurance packages to suit your needs as Dutch expat abroad.

Other insurances

For our clients we can also arrange liability, car, travel and legal insurance. But we also can help with insurances for art, musical instruments or jewelry. Setting up multiple insurances in one package will earn you a discount on the premium. We will also be your contact person in case you have a claim or want to make any adjustments. On top of that, you can access your insurances through an app so you always have an up to date overview. It really can’t be any easier.

Serge and Kai were extraordinary during our house-buying process. Incredibly time-attentive, friendly and with great knowledge of the housing market, Serge always made sure to explain and ensure our comprehension of each step of the process, making us feel secure and reassured. He was also a great help through the negotiation, which was a twist in the whole process. We couldn’t be happier!

We contracted Rogier as our mortgage advisor. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. He talked us through every step of the process and managed to secure our mortgage in 4 days. We also got the best rate available. I would advise their service to anyone.

Serge is a genius! We have just moved to our perfect 'dream' home and there is no way we could have done so without Serge. We needed a broker who could 'think outside the box' and offer creative solutions or else the deal would not happen. Serge came up with a very different solution to propose to the lender, one which they normally never do, and they went for it. It was really clear at that point that Serge's relationship with the lender was instrumental for our proposal being agreed. Best broker out there by a kilometre!

Serge was extremely helpful throughout our entire house buying process! He always carefully explained what was expected from us and made sure we fully understood each step/document we received. He made navigating the tricky Amsterdam housing market a lot easier! I would absolutely recommend him for your mortgage needs!

I have had the pleasure to receive advice on financing for purchase of a house and subsequently receiving services in obtaining the mortgage for the house. The whole customer journey is great from initial requirements clarification, considering options to obtaining the best possible mortgage. Getting the mortgage settled with a bank by Independent Expat Finance as service provider means minimum effort for the customer and the shortest path to obtaining the financing needed. I can highly recommend these services.

Highly Recommend this company. I mainly dealt with Liaget and Ferry on any topics in regards to financing. Both are absolute professional, always available and very patient in explaining everything (especially documents only available in dutch). Was a pleasure working with them! I briefly dealt with Rogier on all things insurance and got an equally as good and thorough service.

I highly recommend Independent Expat Finance to everyone. They do more then advisory, you can make sure that you will get answers for your questions anytime. I could not complete my mortgage journey without help of Serge and his team. If you are planning to take out a mortgage, don’t search for anywhere else especially if you are an expat in Netherlands

Highly recommend! I have worked with them twice the first time everything went smooth even though I was out of the country. The second time the Real Estate Agency was a scammer but luckily Independent Expect Finance handled everything professionally and didn't give up the fight. All in all, they are amazing and give great financial advice.

We worked with Liaget for couple of services; from mortgage application to life insurance. His expert advice and strong follow up helped us to get all services on time in full. We were able to get our mortgage approved almost only after 1 month in Amsterdam. It was not a typical application but still he handled very carefully and professionally. Would recommend his services to others as well.
