Zurich has redesigned its UK personal insurance business with an expanded product range and added service, according to the company.

Zurich said the product range now extended from third party car insurance to high net worth policies, which allows brokers to quote for an expanded range of risks.

A basic car insurance policy, called Zurich Basic Comprehensive, is part of the new range. Zurich said it is available to brokers through full cycle EDI trading, or directly to consumers through its website or over the phone.

The Zurich Premier Range, aimed at the mid net worth market, has also been extended with two new products, the Premier Family Fleet car policy and Premier Home Insurance.

Zurich said the new range will be accompanied by a 24 hour service for brokers and customers. The service will relay out-of-hours messages to the relevant broker the following day, and will provide brokers with assistance outside office hours.

Ian Owen, managing director of Zurich UK Personal Insurance said the company's aim was to become the leading personal lines insurer in the UK.
