I have lost a key to my apartment. The next step

Landlords often require the replacement of the closing cylinder if the keys are lost. If this is justified, we pay for its replacement from the personal liability insurance. Such claims are often justified following theft of a handbag.
The tires of my car were stolen from the underground parking garage. Are they insured?

No, car accessories are covered by car insurance.
The deductible is higher for damage caused by natural forces. Why?

The legislator determined the deductible to be CHF 500 for damage caused by natural forces. This provision applies to all insurance policies equally.
How can I use this service, 48 hr cash or item replacement ?

Call us toll-free on 0800 809 809 and report your damage. We can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Provided the loss event is insured, we will discuss the details with you directly and either supply information about the replacement online or organize the cash payment – less any deductible in the contract.
