Add-ons for partial accident damage insurance

  • Gross negligence: Benefits are not reduced for damage caused by gross negligence (e.g. crossing a double yellow line or running a red light).
  • Bonus protection: Your premium will not increase if you have an accident. This means your no-claims level is not affected. 
  • Roadside assistance including onward travel: If the insured vehicle breaks down due to a flat tire, collision or other damage caused by natural events, animals or unknown persons, AXA will organize and pay for roadside assistance including up to CHF 500 per person for direct travel back home or for continuing your trip.
  • Replacement vehicle: The costs for a replacement vehicle are covered if you total your car or while your car is being repaired (due to an accident or breakdown).
  • E-mobility charging station: Covers your charging station and mobile charging equipment if they are damaged or stolen.
  • E-mobility battery: Covers damage to your high voltage batteries if this is caused by operational errors, total discharge, malfunctioning of the charging device, or unusual loss of capacity.
  • Vehicle legal protection: This supplement gives you legal protection when you’re driving your car or riding your motorbike. Our experts advise you on legal questions about the next steps and support you if there are any disputes about your vehicle. For example, if you’d like to contest the excessive bill you’ve received from your car garage.
  • Injury to you and your passengers: Covers injuries resulting from an accident with the insured vehicle. This increases the benefits of existing accident insurance (e.g. private room).

Comprehensive accidental damage insurance provides even more protection and benefits.
