The roots of Zurich
Insurance go back to the 19th Century and perhaps not
surprisingly, to
Zurich
. The company was
founded in 1872 and within eight years the company were already
trading abroad. This
may not seem a great deal today, but in 1880 this was a big
achievement. Over the
next century the company developed massively and there are now
offices and subsidiaries in North America, Latin America,
Europe
and Asia Pacific. Following
a tough time in 2002,
Zurich
needed to restructure and are now focussing their interests in
Europe and
North America
. According to their
chief executive, their recovery is now back on track with Zurich
having turned into a more streamlined and up-to-date company which
is better equipped to compete in the modern insurance world.
Zurich Car and Home
Insurance is the
UK
subsidiary of Zurich Insurance.
They provide insurance for a pretty standard set of
conditions and offer their products directly or through a network of
insurance brokers. You
may find that the price offered through a broker beats the online
price so it is well worth considering.
They sell a range insurance deals including fully
comprehensive, third party fire and theft, third party only and
Zurich
’s special policy, car solutions.
This is a policy which has a set of useful extra features in
addition to a fully comprehensive insurance.
It is highly advisable to read through all the terms and
conditions of any car insurance policy before you commit to buying
and you can do this easily by viewing the Zurich Insurance website.
