Flexible & comprehensive

AXA's household contents insurance can be tailored to your individual requirements: You only insure what you want to insure, and hence only pay for the benefits that you really need.

Supplementary coverage

Theft away from home: for anyone who also wants optimal protection away from home including while traveling abroad, e.g. when your handbag is stolen in a café.

Breakage of glass or stone elements in furniture: e.g. a jam jar falls onto your glass table and breaks it.

Breakage of windows, washbasins and building glass: for all homeowners who want all-round protection against financial risks, e.g. a washbasin is cracked by a falling perfume bottle. 

Earthquakes: for anyone who wants to protect their possessions against this natural catastrophe, e.g. an expensive display case falls over due to an earthquake and is damaged, along with the contents. 

Gross negligence: e.g. you overlook a red light on your bicycle and collide with a pedestrian who sustains an injury. In this case, the claims payment is not reduced, unlike normal treatment under Swiss law.

Loss of keys and key service: e.g. you lose the keys to your rented or vacation apartment. We organize the key service and pay the cost of changing the locks.

Tradesmen emergency service: e.g. your drainpipe becomes blocked. We arrange the services of a tradesman and pay the costs.

Data recovery and virus removal: e.g. all the family photos on the PC disappear due to a virus. In this case, we arrange the services of an expert who takes care of the data restoration. 

 

All-round protection

With these supplementary coverages, you can benefit from extra protection of your favorite items against theft, damage and loss by yourself or third parties. 

  • Smartphones, tablets and consumer electronics: e.g. you drop your cellphone or your camera and break it.
  • Bicycles, e-bikes and sports equipment: e.g. you fall off your bicycle or e-bike, which gets damaged.
  • Travel luggage: e.g. your luggage arrives late at your hotel. In this case, we pay the costs for necessary purchases or the costs for replacements if your luggage never arrives. 
  • Eyeglasses, hearing aids and medical aids: e.g. you sit on your eyeglasses by mistake and break them.
  • Jewelry, watches and musical instruments: e.g your wedding ring slips off your finger while you are swimming or your Rolex falls onto the tiled bathroom floor and is damaged.
