What an absolute pleasure it is meeting this team of people who offer the best, up to date advise on moving to France. Their webinars are just so helpful and useful and you couldn't wish to meet a friendlier team of experts. I've learnt so much from these guys and been introduced to and received links to other highly recommended relocation experts along the journey. Thank you Fabien and your awesome team for such a fantastic service.

I scheduled a 30 minute free consultation, and Fabien spent more like 45 minutes with me, answering all my questions clearly. Best 45 minutes I've spent, hands down. I highly recommend Fab Insurance to help manage moving to France.

After spending a ridiculous amount of my own time trying to research the requirements and limitations for a long-stay visitor visa in France, I finally found the amazing services provided by Fabien and his team at Fab Insurance. Not onlly did they set us up with an affordable insurance policy that met all of the visa requirements, but Fabien personally answered a raft of questions about the visa process and referred us to somebody who could guide us through the nitty-gritty details of the application and VFS interview. We are happy to have our visas in hand and will embark on our relocation to France this month! Highly recommended!

Fabien is incredibly resourceful and can accommodate a Visa for Americans and others but as an American, I felt comfortable that he is well versed with United States Taxation and has resourceful tax lawyers that can accommodate all the questions I will have. Fabien was able to answer all my immediate questions and understood what I am trying to achieve. His company is also able to sort out the health care insurance, which is required as well as the ability to handhold one through the entire process, something I definitely appreciate.

My wife and I have just had a 30 free consultation chat with Fabien at Fabfrenchinsurance. It was very, very informative and Fabien couldn't have been more obliging and helpful. He answered every question they we threw at him and even some we didn't! The call went on longer than the 1/2 hour but he wasn't in any hurry to go. The chat left us very reassured and positive and we would have absolutely no hesitation in using his services when the time comes for us to make the move.

I contacted Fab to get a quote for a new holiday home in France.I dealt with Elisabeth and Nannie and found both of them to be excellent. Quick responses to my emails and detailed replies to my questions regarding the differences between UK and French property insurance.Whole process has been very easy and the actual quote was also very reasonable. Happy to recommend this service.

We recommend them highly for your insurance needs whether short or long-term. They are extremely experienced with French Visa Requirements and can inform you about choices and insurance carriers. Again, they are simply the best!

We just wanted to pass along to others of our experiences with Fab Insurance that are in need of a reasonably priced health care insurance in France. Just plain outstanding and very professional. First class experience from start to finish. And extremely fair priced. Fabian and Marianne will answer every question you have and help you in every step of the process until you have your certificate to show you have health care coverage in France and all in a very timely manner. We highly recommend Fab Insurance. Thank you very much Thomas & Hilde Wilkens Magnac Laval France.

If I could give 10 stars I would! I wish there was a service like this for more of the aspects of moving to France. My advisor Nannie Bellanger was available to me on more than one occasion to assist me and made the process as easy and seamless as possible. She’s a true professional and I can’t thank her enough!

These people are fantastic! I dealt with someone called Marianne. She was helpful and informative from the beginning (she really knew everything) and provided support right until the end of the process when I'd obtained what I was looking for. Seems like they provide great ongoing support too. I would definitely recommend them.

Our experience with Fab Insurance has been wonderful! Our agent Marianne responded immediately and very thoroughly to all our detailed questions over a period of a couple of months prior to the date when we bought the policy for our visa application. The application process itself was seamless. Thank-you.

What a positive experience. They were very responsive, and when one plan turned out to not work for us due to timing, they quickly offered another solution. We feel that they bent over backwards to meet our tight deadline. We are very pleased, and would highly recommend.

Novelia Assurance, & specifically Fabien, we're highly efficient, quick to deal with my request and very professional. Their website was easy to use, everything was clear, and it was a pleasure to deal with them. All my paperwork & communications were given in English so it was extremely helpful to me. Thank you, I will continue to use this company and would definitely recommend it.

Fabien was extremely helpful to me when I was looking for health insurance 2 years ago. He speaks excellent English and helped guide me through several quotes for me to consider. I asked Fabien to clarify a few details I didn't quite understand before I actually signed up for the policy I chose and his replies were always prompt and clearly explained. l am very happy with Fabien's company and I highly recommend to others.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is behind Fab Insurance?

We’re an independent insurance broker. Established in 2015 and founded by Fabien, we’re a small team of insurance advisors (in-house) located in the Southwest of France and operating in various EU countries (France, Portugal, Spain, Italy and more…).

What is considered a compliant insurance policy for VISA?

Without going into too much detail, most embassies expect to get an insurance certificate that covers the date of the VISA (with a mention that it is on automatic renewal for long term VISAs, for example). They also want to see a mention that “medical expenses” are covered at least up to 30.000€ (and no mention of an exclusion of any sort), no mention of any excess/deductible, and cover for public liability & repatriation.

Who am I buying my policy from?

You will be insured directly through the insurance company you’ve selected, although your broker (us) will remain with you all the time, whatever it is for your application, questions on the policy, claims, etc. We’ll always be there, and our advice will always be for free.
