Launched by the National Union of Students (NUS) in 1976 to serve the personal finance needs of its members, Endsleigh Car Insurance has consistently provided student car insurance across the country for decades. Seeing the potential in other markets, Endsleigh Car Insurance swiftly expanded from this high risk market, into the provision of car insurance for graduates and young professionals.
Working in the car insurance market, Endsleigh Car Insurance performs the role of an insurance intermediary. Similar to an insurance broker, Endsleigh Car Insurance has assembled a panel of car insurance companies who they will go to to retrieve a quote on your behalf. This differs from a traditional broker because you'll consistently be presented with Endsleigh Car Insurance as the face to the service. It also differs from a car insurance comparison service because the policy is sold by Endsleigh Car Insurance and they work from a limited panel of selected insurers, rather than comparing as many insurers as they can.
Over the years, Endsleigh Car Insurance has provided a range of policies to cater for young driver car insurance. Nowadays, Endsleigh Car Insurance has worked with its panel of insurers to be able to cater for the needs of classic, imported and modified cars.
In 2007, Zurich Insurance managed to negotiate a 100% shareholding in Endsleigh Car Insurance. In bringing Endsleigh Car Insurance into the Zurich Insurance Group, Endsleigh will now appear alongside the famous Zurich Insurance name as well as sister brand, easyMoney Car Insurance, in the very competitive UK market.
