alle eenvoud verzekerd / eenvoudige verzekering

English translation: simply and quickly insured

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Dutch term or phrase:alle eenvoud verzekerd
English translation:simply and quickly insured

Dutch term or phrase: alle eenvoud verzekerd / eenvoudige verzekering
"Meer dan 400.000 cliënten zijn op dit moment in alle eenvoud verzekerd bij (naam van maatschappij)."

I am tending towards "simply insured". But it seems a rather strange formulation. Do they perhapd mean that 400.000 have a simple insurance policy. And does simple then mean single or is there another meaning.

Help from the experts.
TIA

Explanation:
Another try. What is meant is that customers do not need to worry about a lot of paperwork in order to get insured.

Thanks to all.
The source text was certainly not good. Thanks to Nico's input I finally made "simply and quickly insured" out of it.

all-in-one insurance scheme / umbrella insurance


Explanation:
Hi Alexander,

The construction is very strange - but then again what's new in this crazy game :-) - however I think they may mean all-in-one insurance or umbrella insurance that provides various forms of cover under one policy document

So in other words some rephrasing would be required, perhaps:

Meer dan 400.000 cliënten zijn op dit moment in alle eenvoud verzekerd bij....

More than 400,000 clients are currently covered under all-in-one insurance schemes ......

neutral  Pierre Grabowski (X): are you sure about this, Deborah? couldn't it also mean: standard insurance?
11 hrs
  -> hi no, not sure Pierre, hence the rating but it's what it me me think of - then again.........:-)
neutral  Paul Peeraerts: Ik denk dat je totaal op het verkeerde spoor zit, Deborah.
12 hrs
  -> could well be Paul, wouldn't be the first time and won't be the last - :-) - but if it's from the perspective of the insurer he would like to promote something as hassle-free and that's why it sprung to mind, so just a suggestion. Thanks

without paperwork


Explanation:
Ik weet niet welke Engelse uitdrukking hiermee het best overeenkomt (dat laat ik aan de natives over) maar de bedoeling is dat je je hier heel eenvoudig kunt laten verzekeren zonder veel papierwerk, zonder veel formulieren, zonder kleine lettertjes die je moet studeren.

Misschien ook "without fuzz" of eenvoudig "easily".

Of hassle-free zoals in het antwoord van Deborah.

Explanation:
afgaande op de enkele google-hit bij vezekeringen, waar ze 'in alle eenvoud' verzekeren en klaar staan voor hun klanten, lijkt het me 'in alle eenvoud' een inhoudsloos stukje reclame text, bedoeld om een algemeen vaag idee van eenvoud weer te geven. Zou dus van alles (en feitelijk ook niets) kunnen zijn.

so, if you like you could probably translate it with
*simply* or *in all simplicity*. anything would do
