Mapfre Malta and Mapfre Msv Life, Luqa

Luqa is a small town in the south of Malta, best known to UK travellers as the home of the island's airport. Mapfre Malta and Mapfre Msv Life have an office here on Triq il-Kunsill ta' l-Ewropa, which makes it a convenient point of contact for anyone who lives or works in that part of the island, or who is passing through on arrival or departure.

Two companies share the Mapfre name in Malta. One sells general insurance such as motor, home and travel cover, and the other is a life assurance specialist. Together they cover most of what a household or a small firm needs to insure.

What the group offers at this branch

The customer-facing range is wide. Everyday policies include motor, electric vehicle, home, travel, health, boat and pet insurance, and the group also sells commercial home cover and a product named Max Protect. The website shows quote, renewal, excess payment and claims options online, and it points customers to Middlesea Assist for help on the road or in an emergency.

Because the group runs a head office and several regional offices, it is sensible to ask which services are handled face to face in Luqa before you make a special journey. The enquiry form on this page is a simple way to do that, and the group can then point you to the right team.

Boat owners and holidaymakers can arrange cover in the same way, including travel insurance and boat insurance, which are both on the group's list of products. Motor, home and health policies are available too, so a household moving to Malta can compare several lines of cover in a single conversation.

Life assurance, savings and pensions

Mapfre Msv Life p.l.c. was set up in 1994 with Bank of Valletta and is the group's life company. Its plans cover protection, regular savings, single premium investments and personal pensions, and the website carries fund prices, a retirement planning calculator and illustrative maturity values for people who want to compare options before they commit.

Anyone planning a longer stay or a move to the island may also want our Malta relocation guide and our overview of Malta tax for UK nationals, since pensions and savings often depend on residence status. We do not give financial advice, and the group's own advisers can explain how each plan works, what it costs and who it suits.

Insurance for employers

Employers can arrange workplace pensions, group health, group personal accident and group life plans for their staff. Business customers can also look at SME insurance, professional indemnity and directors and officers insurance, and the group lists claims routes for business policies. A firm with staff in Malta (our corporate tax structure page gives wider context) can therefore place its property, liability and employee benefits cover with one insurer, which keeps renewals and claims in one place. Company set-up help is available from CLA Malta.

Regulation and standing

Both Mapfre Malta p.l.c. and Mapfre Msv Life p.l.c. are authorised by the Malta Financial Services Authority under the Insurance Business Act. Mapfre Malta p.l.c. is listed on the Malta Stock Exchange and has traded since 1981, when it was registered as the first Maltese insurer writing general business.
