Hola.

Does anyone have any experience using the company Ibex for travel insurance.
I am an expat, British passport, residence here, NIE and my doctor.
I will travel to USA from Barcelona and back to Barcelona.
So just wondering if anyone can recommend a reliable travel insurer or has any experience with Ibex.
many thanks

If you are referring to health insurance while traveling, I only have experience with Amex which looked comprehensive and relatively cheap.

Hi, I'm from the US and lived in Spain for two years. Now, I know they advertise here, but I used Cigna Global, and in order for me to get my Spanish visa, I had to have insurance with $0 deductible. It was extremely expensive (around $500/month), and only covered major medical, not doctor visits at all. From the UK, you may have very different options, but I can't really recommend Cigna Global except as an extremely short-term option. As soon as could, I got private Spanish insurance (Sanitas) and paid $100ish for total coverage, including vision and dental. Good luck! -Christopher

Hi Christopher.
Thank you for your reply. In the end I decided to go with the company Ibex. It's always a gamble. and I guess we don't know how good they are until they are needed. So here's hoping I don't need to make any claims. Thanks again
