THE COMPANY AT A GLANCE

45+ years of experience,
know-how and expertise
in bus insurance

In 1978, a small group of tourism companies with a substantial financial base brought to life their vision of having mutual insurance for their tourist coaches.

The result of this initiative was the establishment of Geniki Panelladiki, a sound, robust and specialized insurance company which, until 2023, operated in the legal form of a Mutual Insurance Company and a main activity the insurance of buses.

At this point, yet another vision of the its partners came to life; the transformation of the Mutual Insurance Company – and the continuation of its successful presence in the Greek insurance market – into a S.A. under the statutory name of Geniki Panelladiki General Insurance Company, the distinctive title GP Insurance S.A. and a commercial name of GP Insurance

A solid and sustainable growth path

Counting more than 10,000 insured vehicles and continuous profitability, along with a strong capital base and one of the highest solvency ratios of the Greek insurance market (amounting at 342% for the year 2023), GP Insurance is a dynamic and constantly evolving organization which invests consistently in new technologies and in its workforce.

The innovative software applications and the online service platform available to its clients and agents, along with the continuous support and high level of customer service, make GP Insurance a leading company providing the most specialized services in its field.

Today, in addition to the company’s fully-owned headquarters in Syntagma, Athens, GP Insurance has a branch in Thessaloniki and two service offices the cities of Heraklion and Chania on the island of Crete. It cooperates with select insurance intermediaries across Greece and has its own insurance agency, GP Agents SA, with the capacity to offer multi-level services to both its customers and its associated insurance agents.
