FAQs about car insurance

The insurance excludes, among other things, damage or traffic accidents that are caused by you as the driver

under the influence of alcohol (blood alcohol level above the statutory permitted per mil. threshold),
while unfit to drive,
with particularly gross disregard for the maximum permitted speed limit (according to Road Traffic Act),
while driving without the necessary driver’s license or without official authorization.

Nor is operating damage to the vehicle, such as wear and tear, covered.

When driving abroad, the international insurance card (formerly known as the green insurance card) confirms that you have liability insurance for your own car. You can order one online. It isn’t needed in countries bordering Switzerland.

Parking damage occurs when you discover that your parked car has been damaged and the person who caused it cannot be found. This policy can be added to your car insurance.

If you damage your car while parking, it is covered under comprehensive accidental damage because it is not considered to be parking damage. This damage is insured through comprehensive accidental damage insurance.

No. If it’s just a minor accident, all you need to do is fill out an accident report. However, if it’s not clear who was at fault, it’s always advisable to call the police. If someone is injured, the law requires that you inform the police.

If you hit an animal with your car, you must inform the police or the local game warden immediately.

If you have taken out the add-on for breakdown assistance including onward travel, we make sure that you can continue your journey with the insured vehicle. The vehicle assistance provided by INTERTOURS travel insurance protects you in any vehicle you're traveling in. If you occasionally rent a car or borrow one from a friend, vehicle assistance is a good idea.

Whether you’ve bought a new vehicle or have moved to a new address, you can easily order your certificate of insurance from us online.

If you contact us about an insured loss event and have the damage repaired at an AXA partner garage, you’ll be entitled to a replacement car.

This service applies throughout Switzerland.
