Laferla Insurance

Laferla Insurance is a family-run insurance provider with more than 40 years of experience in Malta. Its head office is in Vincenti Buildings on Old Bakery Street in the capital, and the business covers individuals, households and companies. For a UK reader the appeal is a wide range of everyday policies, a stated focus on settling claims quickly and a process built to be completed online.

This page sets out what the firm sells, how its claims promise works, when it is open and how to start an enquiry through our directory.

About Laferla Insurance

Laferla is a family business and one of Malta's leading insurance providers. It trades as part of the Laferla Group, and its professional, personalised service is built around settling claims within a week. The firm has a licensing statement, terms of business and a complaints procedure published on its website, and it handles personal data in line with MAPFRE data protection information.

The head office in Valletta is joined by offices in San Ġwann, Gozo, Ħamrun, Mosta, Rabat and Żejtun. Valletta itself is easy to reach and well worth a visit, and our Valletta city guide explains how to spend a day there while you sort out your cover. The Upper Barrakka Gardens are a pleasant stop, and AE Business Advisors is listed close by.

Personal insurance

Laferla groups its personal range into eight types: health, motor, travel, home, landlord, life, boat and pet. Health insurance is the line the firm highlights most, with an emphasis on finding the right cover for you and your family. Motor, home and landlord policies are the staples for anyone who owns a car or a property, and boat insurance is available for owners of vessels.

Travel and health insurance, useful when planning flights from the UK to Malta, are described as low cost and in line with all legal requirements, and they include cover for hospitalisation in Malta. If you are moving to the island rather than visiting, our Malta relocation guide covers the practicalities that sit alongside insurance. There is also a separate cover for horse owners' liability.

Business insurance

Companies can choose from employee benefits, business combined, industrial, construction and engineering, cargo and professional indemnity insurance. Choosing the right plan and provider matters in a fast moving, competitive market, and the range suits shops, offices, contractors and firms that move goods. A business combined policy usually bundles several risks into one document, while cargo and professional indemnity address specific exposures.

The firm also offers a home loan insurance package that combines home and life insurance, which is useful for people arranging a mortgage. For the wider setting in which Maltese insurers operate, see our overview of financial services in Malta.

Quotes, claims and the seven day promise

A quote takes two to five minutes and cover can be bought within five to ten minutes, using the firm's online processes and customer area. Claims can be submitted online, and the firm has a Seven Day Claims Settlement Promise, built on more than 40 years of settling claims swiftly. A help centre and a set of frequently asked questions explain how premiums are calculated, whether policies can be tailored, what discounts come from bundling policies and how to ask for a review as your needs change.
