Insurance for your life in Portugal, with someone
by your side to help you choose.
THE FIRST STEP
Tell us which insurance you need and how you prefer to be contacted. Ricardo Machado will explain what is needed to prepare your quotation.
For this initial contact, we do not ask for a tax number, address, documents or health details. A quotation is prepared after the necessary details are collected and checked.

Prepare for your next trip and clarify the terms of assistance and protection at your destination.
A trip should be assessed by destination, duration, participants and planned activities. Medical assistance, baggage, cancellation and curtailment are different needs; check which can be included in the quotation and on what terms.
NON-LIFE INSURANCE
Explore arrangements for the consequences of an accident, according to your activity.
Personal accident protection should start with the activities you undertake and the consequences you want to provide for. Check the definition of accident, the people covered and the sum insured for each cover. It should not be confused with health or occupational accident insurance.
NON-LIFE INSURANCE
Understand options for harm caused to others in private life.
Private life can result in harm to other people or their property. This assessment identifies the household covered, the events considered and the limits of insured liability. Damage to your own belongings is a different need.
NON-LIFE INSURANCE
Assess liability for harm your animal may cause to others.
This assessment focuses on harm the animal may cause to others. It differs from an arrangement for veterinary expenses. The animal’s identification and characteristics help clarify its classification and any applicable requirements.
NON-LIFE INSURANCE
Protecting your bicycle starts with the equipment, its use and the insurance terms.
The bicycle, accessories, use and places where it is ridden or stored help define the request. Protection for the property, accidents involving the rider and liability to others should be assessed separately.
NON-LIFE INSURANCE
Prepare protection for your boat and clarify navigation and use limits.
The type of craft, planned navigation and use affect the assessment. Identify the property and equipment to protect and liabilities towards others. Also confirm conditions for time ashore and transport.
NON-LIFE INSURANCE
Understand protection options for digital risks associated with your activity.
Digital risks should be assessed through the systems, data and processes the business depends on. Protection may involve incident response, first-party losses and liability towards others, but each component requires confirmation in the quotation.
NON-LIFE INSURANCE
Assess liability risks connected with practising your profession.
Providing services can lead to claims connected with professional errors or omissions. Describe the services, clients and relevant territories to frame the request. A business’s operational liability may need a complementary assessment.
NON-LIFE INSURANCE
Goods on the move: an assessment that considers the assets and their transport.
The risk to goods depends on their nature, value, route and mode of transport. Protection for the goods and the carrier’s liability are distinct matters. Explain who bears the risk at each stage of the operation.
NON-LIFE INSURANCE
Consider financed assets and the requirements of the lease agreement.
An asset obtained through finance may be subject to insurance requirements in the lease. The assessment should identify the equipment, use and finance provider’s interest to clarify the protection requested and its beneficiaries.
NON-LIFE INSURANCE
Arrangements to assess for the machinery and equipment supporting your activity.
Machinery and equipment should be identified by their characteristics, value and conditions of use. Site work, movements and time away from the premises may require different terms. Confirm the distinction between external damage and internal breakdown.
NON-LIFE INSURANCE
Explore an arrangement guaranteeing obligations, subject to assessment of the contract and risk.
Surety insurance concerns a guarantee for a specific obligation. Assessment starts with the contract or requirement behind it, the beneficiary and term. Issuance depends on risk assessment and the terms accepted by the insurer.
NON-LIFE INSURANCE
Clarify protection for assets against fire risk and the applicable terms.
Identify the assets to protect, where they are located and an appropriate sum insured. Fire cover should be distinguished from a wider set of risks. The intermediary can help compare the standalone need with a multi-risk arrangement.
NON-LIFE INSURANCE
Prepare an assessment of liability associated with hunting.
The assessment should consider liability associated with hunting and the applicable framework. State where and how you undertake the activity and clarify document requirements before assuming protection is suitable.
NON-LIFE INSURANCE
Is your need missing from this list? Tell us what you want to protect.
Describe what you want to protect, who uses the property or performs the activity, and where the risk is located. If you already have a contractual requirement or policy, tell the intermediary to guide the assessment.
Covers, sums insured, limits, exclusions and excesses depend on the quotation and policy terms. These descriptions do not constitute an insurance offer.
A CONVERSATION MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Insurance starts with understanding your circumstances. We support you from your first question through to reviewing the quotation.
Choose the insurance, complete the relevant details and check the summary. Your request is only recorded when you submit it.
We help you review covers, limits and exclusions so you can understand the choices and ask questions.
The decision is yours. Your intermediary follows up the request and the steps for taking out insurance, under the applicable terms.

Yes. You can ask for a review of your needs and existing insurance. Before changing or cancelling a policy, confirm terms, deadlines and continuity of cover with your intermediary.

Check whether they cover the same risks using equivalent sums insured, excesses and assumptions. Review exclusions, limits, services and adjustment terms. A lower price may reflect different protection. Our insurance guides help you prepare this comparison.
Yes. In the request, you can choose whether to authorise contact and specify the date and channel. This choice is separate from the quotation request and concerns the next renewal you specify. You can ask your intermediary to withdraw it.
