Zurich Insurance Offers

Zurich Insurance Offers

As an underwriter with experience going back many years, Zurich car insurance offers a service which very few can even hope to touch. Often acting behind the scenes to offer under writing services to a range of companies in the sector, they also have a presence in the UK car insurance market themselves. Their understanding of the market and access to the best pricing has proved vital in their growth of the last few years.

Zurich Car Ins Company History

While parent Zurich Group was for many years part of the British American Tobacco Group (BAT), it only really came to the fore after the demerger from BAT over 20 years ago. Based in Switzerland the financial services and insurance division have exposure to all of the major markets of the world. The standing of the group is demonstrated by the near $50 billion in revenue which the group takes per annum, something which few financial services groups can get close to.

The Zurich Insurance division of the UK has historically been very prominent in both the car insurance and home insurance markets, able to offer excellent terms through the parent company's insurance underwriting operations. Since being released from the group of BAT the UK division especially has gone from strength to strength and is well known under its own brand name, rather than being part of BAT.

Zurich Ins has an excellent online and offline UK insurance operation and has access to some of the best rates in the market place. The group also offers insurance services through a number of third parties giving them a vast under standing and involvement in the UK insurance market.

Other Zurich Insurance Products

While for so long they were hidden away in the BAT Group of companies, Zurich Insurance are a massive company in their own right with exposure to all areas of both the insurance and finance markets around the world. They have one of the largest under writing operations in the world and are involved with an array of third party insurance operations although their name remains pretty much behind the scenes. The have always had a heavy involvement in the UK car insurance market, offering some of the most competitive policies in the market.

Since they were released from the chains of BAT Group, they have become one of the best known names in the world insurance market. As you might expect from a company with exposure to so many markets they have perhaps the heaviest internet exposure of any in the sector, sites which include www.zurich.com, wwwzurich.com, zurichinsurance.com, zurichcarinsurance.com, www.zurich.co.uk, wwwzurich.co.uk, www.zurichinsurance.co.uk and www.zurichcarinsurance.co.uk.

Elephant Insurance Offers

Elephant Insurance Offers

Elephant.co.uk is part of the Admiral Group of companies which have taken the online insurance market by storm. Targeting individual areas of the market the likes of Elephant have been able carve out a great niche for themselves. The company is a leader in the use of online services to improve customer service and the online quote system is as good as it gets.

Elephant Car Ins Company History

Elephant.co.uk (to give the insurance company its correct title) is the only insurance company in the UK to use a URL in its name. Launched in August 2000 as an off-shoot from the financial company Admiral Group, Elephant insurance has become something of a leader in the UK car insurance market. Despite the bizarre name of the operation, it seems to struck a cord with the UK consumer and is now a recognised brand name.

While the group is based in the south east of England, it has offices spread over much of the UK as well as a heavily branded website which is hard to miss. By April 2007 the group was able to boast over 350,000 car insurance clients and the figure is now fast approaching the 500,000 mark. The majority of the company's customers are based in the south of England where premiums have been historically higher than the rest of the UK, allowing the group to under cut many of their competitors.

In line with Elephant branding, the group has been very active in the field of elephant charities, donating tens of thousands of pounds to an array of operators in this area.

Other Elephant Insurance Products

While many frowned at the use of an elephant character to attract attention to the serious business of insurance, it has certainly worked for Elephant.co.uk. They offer a fresh looking website with very high visibiity so that you can see what is on offer and where you need to go. As well as the traditional third party, 3rd party fire and theft and full comprehensive cover they also offer free courtesy car, named driver no claims, free windscreen repairs, legal cover and sat-nav and stereo cover.

Yet again Admiral Group have pulled a rabbit out of the hat with the launch of Elephant.co.uk, an insurance business which focuses on the car insurance market in the south of England where premiums can often become a little detached from the normal market standard. They seem to be taking business away from the more general insurers such as Aviva, Prudentialand Churchill who tend to cover the whole of the UK car insurance market. Why not check out what they have to offer at www.elephant.co.uk, wwwelephant.co.uk, www.elephantinsurance.co.uk, www.elephantcarinsurance.co.uk, www.elephant.com, www.elephant.com, www.elephanyinsurance.com and www.elephanycarinsurance.com to name but a few resource sites.

While the car insurance market is the bread and butter business of elephant.co.uk they are also expanding into the breakdown cover, home insurance, travel insurance and van insurance markets - again with the South of England their focal point.

Aviva Insurance Offers

Aviva Insurance Offers

Aviva (formerly Norwich Union) has been one of the rocks of the UK car insurance market over recent times with a history which can be traced back over 200 years. They know the UK car insurance market and they know how to provide affordable car insurance quotes. They have experience which money cannot buy which has seen them through the highs and lows of the UK insurance sector. Now part of the Aviva Group they have never been so strong in the UK insurance market.

Aviva Car Ins Company History

There are few names in the insurance industry which are as recognizable as Aviva (formerly Norwich Union), and while they may be better know by some for their Life Insurance activities, they now have an exposure across the whole insurance market. Now part of the Aviva Group, after the merger of Norwich Union and Commercial Union in 2000, both subsidiaries now trade under the Aviva brand name. Aviva has a history which can be traced as far back as 1797 with the creation of the 'Norwich Union Society for the Insurance of Houses, Stock and Merchandise from Fire'. While the industry of today is unrecognizable from that of today, there are very few companies who can boast the experience which they have obtained.

Interestingly, Aviva are the first insurer to introduce 'Pay As You Drive' (PAYD) vehicle insurance which uses GPS and mobile phone technology to track a vehicle and relay information such as mileage, time of day, etc back to the head office. This then allows Aviva to calculate a PAYD rate of insurance which is automatically debited to the customers account. While the technology has taken some time to take off, 2009 is forecast to be a year when PAYD insurance may well move into the mainstream insurance industry.

Other Aviva Insurance Products

Aviva offer one of the most comprehensive ranges of insurance services in the market, with leading exposure in many markets. Discounts and cash back offers are available on many of their car insurance policies whether you are looking for cover for your classic car, cover for your antique car or the more traditional family car insurance cover. Comprehensive cover, third party fire of theft or just third party cover are available on each of their polices, although extras such as breakdown recovery insurance and similar motoring services are also available.

As well as the car insurance market, Aviva also offer travel insurance, home and mortgage insurance, health insurance, retirement cover and an array of financial services.

Tesco Car Insurance

Tesco Car Insurance Offers

While Tesco are still regarded as a supermarket chain, they have undergone something of a transformation over the last decade having expanded into a whole host of new and exciting markets. The insurance market, and car insurance in particular, was an obvious move with so many customers looking online for cheap car insurance offers. Tesco introduced a host of insurance products with two distinct ranges, regular/premium car insurance and Tesco value car insurance, cheaper low cost cover with some of the frill taken out.

Tesco Ins Company History

Traced back to humble beginnings in 1924 who could have guessed that Tesco would move on to become one the largest supermarket groups in the world with exposure in each and every developed country around the globe. The first store opening did not occur until 1929, in Middlesex, but since then we have seen the group expand at lightening quick pace. The group now turns over nearly £50 billion a year, with profits in excess of £2 billion per annum!

While the Tesco of today is so different to that of nearly 100 years ago, the principles are still the same, quality products at affordable prices. Indeed they have transferred this principle over into their many non-food operations including car insurance. Tesco insurance is one of the fastest growing areas of the group with more products and services being added on a regular basis.

Tesco car insurance and Tesco home insurance are fast becoming an integral part of the UK insurance sector with many people using Tesco as a true one stop shop for all their financial products as well as their supermarket needs.

saga insurance

Saga Insurance Offers

Often a forgotten area of the UK car insurance market the over 50s have an excellent representative in the shape of Saga Insurance. They have been instrumental in moving many of the over 50s online and have used this to market their niche market car insurance services to their vast array of members. Few companies can boast a more in depth understand of their market place and customers.

Saga Car Ins Company History

Saga Car Insurance is now an important part of the Saga Group, a group which has been around since 1988 when it was first set up to voice the concerns of the over 50s. Saga has become heavily involved in a number of issues which have effected the over 50s, including minimum wage, housing benefits, heating allowance and many more issues over the years. However, it has developed into more than just a soap box for the over 50s, growing into a full blown financial services and travel group (to name but two of the main areas of activity).

While the Group has fully embraced the internet super highway, they have a membership magazine which is vital to the success of the group. This has been the launch pad for many Saga ventures, including the car insurance division which has dominated the niche over 50s market for some time. Much sought after for its exposure to the so called 'Grey Pound', the group is a totally different animal to the one which hit the headlines in 1988.

The so called 'Grey Pound' is a very lucrative area of the financial market with more and more over 50s becoming heavily involved with the internet and looking for the best financial deals they can find. The power behind Saga Insurance is the sheer volume of business which they create and the power this gives them within the market place.

Other Saga Insurance Products

It is not very often that you see one truly dominant player in any of the numerous car insurance niche markets, but this is the situation with Saga car insurance. They have a unique standing in the over 50s car insurance sector due to the strength of their underlying Saga band name - a name which will forever be associated with the over 50s market. This is obviously a very specialised market with cover types such as third party fire & theft and fully comprehensive available but premiums depending on the specific situation of the underlying customer.

While Saga insurance has no direct competition as such they also compete in the main market against the more established insurers such as Norwich Union, Prudential, Sainsburys, and Churchill as well as the new kids on the block such as Sheilas Wheels and Elephant.co.uk with whom they compare very well. Sites to look out for include www.saga.com, wwwsaga.com, www.sagainsurance.com, www.sagacarinsurance.com, www.saga.co.uk, wwwsaga.co.uk, www.sagainsurance.co.uk and www.sagacarinsurance.co.uk to name but a few.

Using their dominant position in the over 50s insurance market it will come as no surprise to learn that Saga offer the full range of insurance products from pet insurance to health insurance, from holiday home insurance to breakdown cover and more.
