The excitement of getting a new car is always huge. But it’s often overshadowed by the administrative side of things, especially when choosing the right insurance. Liability, partial coverage, full coverage – what do these terms actually mean, and how much does it cost? Which option offers the best protection? Don’t worry, we’ve got all the information you need – and we’ll show you how to avoid the hassle entirely with a car subscription.
Liability, Partial Coverage, and Full Coverage – What Do They Mean?
In Switzerland, there are different types of car insurance:
- Liability insurance: Legally required, it covers damages to third-party property or injuries caused by your vehicle.
- Partial coverage: This protects against damage to your own vehicle caused by external factors such as storms, hail, floods, glass breakage, or theft.
- Full coverage: The most comprehensive option, combining partial coverage with collision coverage. Collision coverage insures damage to your own car caused by accidents for which you’re at fault – such as rear-end collisions or a damaged bumper.
Costs and Deductible
Being insured is essential, but it doesn’t mean there are no costs. With any insurance, you must set a deductible – the amount you pay out of pocket in the event of a claim.
- Liability insurance: The deductible can typically be set to CHF 0.
- Partial and full coverage: The deductible ranges from CHF 250 to CHF 2,500 per claim, depending on your choice. The higher the deductible, the lower the premiums – and vice versa.
- How Much Does Full Coverage Cost?
- The cost of full coverage depends on several factors:
- Car value: More expensive cars result in higher premiums.
- Driver’s age and experience: Younger or less experienced drivers typically pay more.
- Location: Urban areas often have higher premiums than rural ones.
- Deductible: A higher deductible reduces monthly costs.
- No-claims discount: Accident-free driving may qualify for discounts.
