Zurich takes its name from its Swiss home where it was founded in the late 19th century. Now however, it is one of the leading UK car insurance with its focus on customer relations and the individual needs of the consumer at the forefront of its car insurance (also known as ‘Zurich motor insurance’) policies.

Zurich car insurance has three main policies – third party fire and theft, basic comprehensive and car solutions (which is the basic comprehensive with extras). All new customers are entitled to a 10 per cent discount if they take out Zurich car insurance online.

The basic comprehensive policy includes accidental damage cover and repairs carried out by the company’s network of repairers. There is motor legal protection up to £50,000 that is included as standard and your car’s audio equipment is covered up to £100.

If you opt for the Zurich car solutions package you will be eligible for a host of additional extras including a courtesy car when using one of Zurich’s approved repairers, 24hr roadside assistance with Green Flag, free phone messaging if you need to inform someone about delays in the event of a breakdown, car audio equipment cover up to £500 and replacement locks up to £350 if you lose your keys or they are stolen. There are also a number of protected no-claims discount options and up to £100,000 in legal expenses cover.
