Our verdict

Compass is a broker rather than an insurer, so it places home, health, travel and pet cover with providers instead of carrying the risk itself. It suits residents in Italy who want monthly payments and a single point of contact, and it has traded since 1960.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • A single broker handles home, home emergency, health, travel and pet, listed under home, home emergency and health.
  • Monthly payments are available, and monthly is the payment model, so the premium is spread across the year.
  • Claims can be raised by phone, email, the online portal or post, as phone, email and online portal shows.
  • General support runs on phone, email and help centre for policy questions outside a claim.

Cons

  • The broker structure means the policy is underwritten elsewhere rather than by Compass, which is the limit of broker.
  • General support runs on phone, email and help centre, while claims use the wider set in phone, email and online portal, so customers need to pick the right desk.
  • Eligibility follows 18+ (resident in Italy), so the broker works with Italian residents rather than households spread across other markets.

Who it suits

  • Adults resident in Italy who want home, health, travel and pet policies arranged through the same desk.
  • Households that would rather spread the premium across the month, since monthly payments are available.
  • People who want claims raised by phone, email, the online portal or post, as phone, email and online portal allows.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Good Sam Insurance Agency, whose auto, home and renters adds life and motorcycle cover, suits people who want those lines alongside home and pet.
  • Hiscox UK, listed for home, renters and landlord, is the pick for anyone focused on home, renters and landlord cover rather than a mixed personal policy.
  • EuroAsia Insurance, listed for auto, home and travel, fits drivers and gadget owners better, while Compass concentrates on home, health, travel and pet.

The company behind it

The company behind the policies is Compass Banca S.p.A., based in Italy and trading since 1960. Its own support runs on phone, email and help centre, so phone, email and a help centre take the questions that come up day to day, alongside the policy documents and renewal dates that households ask about most.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of company is Compass?+

Compass is a broker, so it arranges cover with insurers rather than underwriting the policies itself. The name sits under Compass Banca S.p.A., based in Italy. Households deal with a single contact, and the policy is issued by the insurer chosen for each line of cover.

Can I pay monthly?+

Monthly payments are available on the policies Compass places, with monthly as the payment model. The premium is spread across the year instead of being asked for in a single payment, which suits households that budget month by month.

How do I make a claim?+

Claims run through phone, email and online portal, which covers phone, email, the online portal and post. A home claim therefore does not depend on a single route, and customers can pick whichever channel suits them at the moment they need it.

What support do I get outside a claim?+

General support runs on phone, email and help centre: phone, email and a help centre. Claims are handled separately through the wider set in phone, email and online portal, so it is worth knowing which desk a question belongs to before sending it.

Who can take out cover?+

Policies are for 18+ (resident in Italy), so the customer must be an adult living in Italy. That is the clearest limit on the broker, and households based in other markets will need a provider that quotes where they live.

What can I insure?+

The range covers home, home emergency, health, travel and pet, listed under home, home emergency and health. A household can therefore take buildings and contents cover, medical cover, trips and a pet from the same broker rather than shopping for each one separately.

How established is it?+

The business has traded since 1960 and operates under Compass Banca S.p.A., with its base in Italy. A long record in a single market says more about staying put than breadth, so it suits people who want a steady contact rather than a rotating panel.
