Norwich Union Car Company History

There are few names in the insurance industry which are as recognizable as Norwich Union, and while they may be better know by some for their Life Insurance activities, they now have an exposure across the whole insurance market. Now part of the Aviva Group, after the merger of Norwich Union and Commercial Union in 2000, both subsidiaries still trade under their original brand names. Norwich Union has a history which can be traced as far back as 1797 with the creation of the “Norwich Union Society for the Insurance of Houses, Stock and Merchandise from Fire”. While the industry of today is unrecognizable from that of today, there are very few companies who can boast the experience which Norwich Union have obtained.

Interestingly, Norwich Union are the first insurer to introduce “Pay As You Drive” (PAYD) vehicle insurance which uses GPS and mobile phone technology to track a vehicle and relay information such as mileage, time of day, etc back to the head office. This then allows Norwich Union to calculate a PAYD rate of insurance which is automatically debited to the customers account. While the technology has taken some time to take off, 2008 is forecast to be a year when PAYD insurance may well move into the mainstream insurance industry.

As well as the car insurance market, Norwich Union also offer travel insurance, home and mortgage insurance, health insurance, retirement cover and an array of Norwich Union financial services.
