How can I pay for my insurance?

We accept payment in full by Visa, Mastercard or Switch for policies processed over the Internet. Alternatively you can pay by Direct Debit by paying a deposit of 2 months instalments (plus Insurance Premium Tax) and the remaining 10 instalments will be taken from your bank account starting about 2 months after the start date of the policy. Paying by Direct Debit will incur a small service charge.

I've been trying for some time to access your site but have been unsuccessful. It must be down.

There are a number of factors, which could affect your ability to access the site. In many occasions it is the connection between the individual and their service provider. Should these problems occur then try reloading the site or contact your service provider for further guidance. If you are trying to access the site from your workplace or via a firewall this may affect your ability to connect.

Is it safe for me to put my personal, credit and debit card details on the Web?

Zurich recognises the need to protect its customers from such security problems as hackers. With this in mind, credit card details are entered onto a secure server where they are encrypted and passed through a merchant services system for verification. The encryption prevents unauthorised users from decoding and reusing the details.

If I save a quotation, the system generates a quotation number and I must input a password to access the quote again later. How does this work and what happens if I forget my password?

You will only be able to access a quote within 21 days from the date it is created. After that time it will expire and you will need to re-input the details to get an up to date price. If you forget your password there is no way to access your quote. If you try an incorrect password more than 3 times, the quote will become invalid. This is to protect your security.

I processed a quotation yesterday but when I tried to access the quote today the system asked me for a password. What would this be?

In order to access a quotation the "SAVE" option must be selected on the quotation screen. You will then be prompted to choose a password and note the quotation number.

I have entered a previously saved quotation but am unable to progress as far as the payment section. Why is this?

If you are attempting to enter the site from your workplace, there may be a firewall installed which would disable your ability to enter the credit card payment section. Give our internet support team a call on 0845 300 2662 and they will be able to help you.

I want to print out the policy booklet / premium page for my own record but there doesn't appear to be a print function. What can I do?

Unfortunately we don't know which type of printer you have connected to your computer. Try pressing your computers 'Ctrl' key and 'P' key together when you are on the premium page. If this still doesn't work check your computer handbook. If you've got Adobe Acrobat Reader installed, then a PDF version of the Car Third Party, Fire & Theft, Car Basic Comprehensive, the Car Solutions and Home policies are available in the relevant sections.
