Insurance overview

Every motor vehicle owner must have liability insurance. Accidental damage and accident insurance are voluntary.

Third-party liability insurance

Liability insurance is mandatory. It covers any damage you may cause to other road users, animals or property while you are driving and protects you against any unsubstantiated claims for damages you may face.

Guaranteed amount CHF 100 million

Accidental damage insurance

Accidental damage insurance is voluntary and covers damage to your car. You can choose between full or partial accidental damage coverage.

Partial accidental damage insurance:

Roadside assistance throughout Switzerland
Theft
Malicious damage (e.g. deliberately broken off rear-view mirrors)
Damage by natural forces (e.g. hail), fire, snowslides, animals and martens
Glass breakage (including spotlights)
Items carried along (e.g. sports bag)
Extras: Free coverage for up to 10% of the vehicle’s list price
Present value supplement: for total loss: in year one, repayment of 100% of new price; thereafter, higher compensation than present value of the vehicle

Comprehensive insurance (collision coverage):

Damage to your car due to a collision
Parking damage can be included (unlimited events per year)

Accident insurance

With accident insurance we support you financially if the driver or passengers are injured or killed. This applies even if the question of who is at fault has not been settled.

Valid for all cars registered in Switzerland that you drive and not just your own car
Medical expenses, e.g. private ward in a hospital
Death lump sum, in addition to other insurance benefits
Disability lump sum, in addition to other insurance benefits

Bonus protection for no-claims discount

Bonus protection guarantees that you do not lose your discount in the event of an accident. Claims-free driving leads to a reduction in your premium until it is just 30%.

What is covered by parking damage?

Parking damage occurs when you discover that your parked car has been damaged and the causer cannot be found. If you damage your car while parking, this is not parking damage, but is comprehensive accidental damage.

Do I always have to inform the police if I have an accident?

No. In the case of a minor accident, filling out an accident report is sufficient. However, if the question of who was at fault is unclear, it’s always advisable to call the police. If someone is injured, you must, by law, inform the police.
In case of a collision with an animal, you must inform the police immediately; if it involves a wild animal, you must inform the responsible game warden immediately.
Who pays for the replacement vehicle during the repair?
If you let us make the arrangements for the repair you can benefit as follows:
- Free replacement vehicle
