Tips on car insurances!
Hello everyone,

I need some tips on car insurances, as I never owned a car before in CH. I already checked out the ZUrich offer and comparis for various Insurance companies and have a range of offers. What I am more interested in is things like:

What is a good level coverage for Passenger accidents insurances? Some have coverage up to hundreds thousands of chf others only 20 or 50.000.

Also what is a good franchise? For damage to parked car I'd say the minimum franchise (as I read it's the most common thing that happens here!), but how about the casco collision? the Casco partial? and Liability? I really don't know how do reparations cost here in CH!


Thanks for any advice!

Hi everyone... :)



I am in the same boat looking for car insurance and hoped you'd be able to pass on those valuable details too... as being so new, how do you know.

Thanks ever so much...

Guys,

The simplest tip I could give you is to contact our own insurance broker, Ardian, who is a magician on finding the best deals.

He speaks English and is an expert on car insurance. He can explain all to you, and then collect offers for you from all Car Insurance companies, so you can choose the best one.

Ardian: [email protected]

Good luck guys!

Nir is totally right, Ardian is a great help!. I just got my first car in CH and before signing any contract I really wanted to be well informed. I knew not much more then what is written in the insurance guide here on glocals. Ardian offered a great service!

1) He called me back! and he did that quickly (same day I contacted him). Which is very rare in CH.

2) He took the time to explain me all the different type of insurances availble, the difference between coverages, 'franchises', what's the VVM of the car, what's parking insurance etc etc etc, so that I finally had a really clear idea on what I needed and wanted.

3) he contacted several insurance companies and came back to me with 4 quotes withing 36hs. This is highly remarkable, since usually in Geneva the response time can be weeks, and I had to buy my car just few days later ... so I was really under pressure.

4) he helped me comparing the offers he received and also the ones I already had gotten privately (my company has a corporate deal with one insurance company) and explained the differences

and last but not least he gave me an honest recommendation. My corporate deal is on the same price level (actually slightly cheaper) then some of the offers he presented me with and he actually adviced me to go for it, since it's good to have an insurance with someomen who has already a relationship with the company (can make it easier for claims etc), while he could have easily directed me towards signing one of the deals he offered.

I will definitly contact him again for any other type of insurance reco!!
