Global Insurance Brokers

Global Insurance Brokers is a locally run brokerage that helps individuals and businesses in Malta find and buy the right insurance. A broker works for the client rather than for one insurer, so the job is to compare what is on the Maltese market and recommend a policy that fits, and then to stand beside you if you need to make a claim.

The firm has two offices, one in St Julian's, where its registered office sits, and one on Triq Zarenu Dalli in Birżebbuġa, the address held in our directory. It is listed among the insurance providers in Malta on VisitMalta.co.uk.

Regulation and approach

Global Insurance Brokers is enrolled in the brokers' list under the Insurance Distribution Act (Chapter 487) of the Maltese laws, which allows it to carry out insurance intermediary activities under the Malta Financial Services Authority. The company is registered under number C9923 and belongs to the SMS Group.

The aim is to find the best insurance option at a reasonable price through detailed knowledge of the local market and close attention to each client. That care continues into claims, where its consultants work to protect the client's interests. The Maltese insurance market can be hard to read for a newcomer, so this guidance matters most for people moving from the UK. Our guide to financial services in Malta gives wider context.

Cover for individuals and families

Motor insurance comes in three levels: fully comprehensive, third party including fire and theft, and third party only, which is the legal minimum. The brokers will quote for a new vehicle or look for a better price on an existing policy.

Home insurance protects a property against damage, theft and attempted theft, flooding and fire, and is worth having when a mortgage or loan finances the purchase. The firm points out that the premium is a comparatively small percentage of the value protected. Anyone planning a permanent move can read our guide to relocating to Malta from the UK.

Travel insurance covers cancellations and delays to flights and accommodation, lost or stolen belongings and medical care, for individuals or groups, for leisure or business, across all continents. Private health insurance covers private medical expenses and can include mental health support, with dental cover as an option, and shorter waits than the public hospitals are one of the reasons to consider it.

Business, marine and specialist insurance

For companies, the brokers arrange personal accident, business interruption, electronic equipment, public liability, employers' liability, money and glass cover, all of which can sit under an industrial all risks policy. Smaller firms can reach the same covers at competitive rates. Other lines include marine, aviation, construction and professional indemnity insurance.

Specialist requests are also handled, including environmental liability, intellectual property, kidnapping and ransom, management liability, medical malpractice and product recall cover, as well as insurance for event organisers and suppliers, exhibitions and cyber risk.

Feasts and fireworks

A distinctive part of the business is insurance for village feasts and fireworks. The firm is the appointed broker of the Malta Pyrotechnics Society and has over 20 years of experience in fireworks, pyrotechnics and traditional feasts. It also helps feast organisers insure other related risks. Visitors curious about the festa tradition can browse our list of things to do in Malta, and the Birżebbuġa area sits close to the Blue Grotto on the south coast.
