Friday, 05 November 2010

Online insurer swiftcover.com has been named as a finalist for yet another award. Following on from last month’s success at the Agile Awards, swiftcover.com will be among finalists in line for the Best Car Insurance Provider at the 2011 Moneyfacts awards.

After researching and monitoring all car insurers on price and many other policy factors over a 12 month period, Moneyfacts named swiftcover.com as a finalist in the Best Car Insurance Provider category. Winners will be announced in January 2011 at the annual Moneyfacts Awards.

Tina Shortle, marketing director of swiftcover.com, says: “swiftcover.com strives to provide cost-effective insurance premiums alongside efficient customer service, so it is great to be recognised and shortlisted for a Moneyfacts Award.

“Our online service has been created to make getting quotes and organising insurance as simple and as quick as possible without the need to call. It enables us to keep costs down and pass the savings on to our policyholders.”

About swiftcover:

Based in Cobham, Surrey and employing over 800 people, www.swiftcover.com started trading in June 2005 and was born out of a desire to revolutionise the general insurance market.

swiftcover.com offers car, home, travel and pet insurance online, and is Britain's only insurance company without call centres, which means that the cost savings can be passed directly onto the customer and premiums are kept low. In 2008 swiftcover.com featured as the cheapest insurance quote on the comparison website moneysupermarket.com more often than any other insurer.

This powerful operating model combined with successful marketing and competitive pricing has proven to be a tremendous success. In 2008 swiftcover.com achieved over half a million live policies and in May 2009 sold their one millionth policy. They are considered to be the fastest-growing insurer in the UK.

In 2007, AXA UK acquired swiftcover.com. It is now a wholly owned subsidiary of AXA Insurance UK PLC which forms part of AXA Group.
