Allianz Launches Flexible Home Insurance Product

LONDON, September 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Allianz Insurance has launched a new online-only home insurance product that provides customers with the flexibility to build their own policy.

Your Cover's new home insurance product enables customers to purchase a basic level of comprehensive cover and build a bespoke policy by adding up to 11 optional insurance extras including identity fraud protection, home business cover, sports equipment insurance and 24-hour home emergency assistance.

Consumers can now log on to the customer-centric 'quote and buy' website, http://www.yourcoverinsurance.co.uk/, which has been designed to make the buying experience as easy as possible. The product will also be available on major price comparisons websites in the near future.

Andy James, head of direct at Allianz Retail, says: "At a time when the incomes of Britain's households are feeling the pinch more than ever, our new home insurance cover is aimed at giving consumers greater flexibility and choice to help keep their costs down by only selecting the level of cover that they need."
