If you travel abroad with a private vehicle, you don't have to worry much about additional insurance. Compulsory liability insurance and partial or fully comprehensive insurance are also sufficient abroad. However, abroad you also need an international insurance card. The so-called "green card" verifies that your vehicle has third party insurance. You may have received the international insurance card directly with your policy. However, this card is not automatically renewed. So check early enough as to whether the card is still valid. The period of validity can be seen in the top left corner. You can find further information on this on the international insurance card page.
Our travel insurance Zurich Relax Assistance helps with breakdowns in Europe. You will receive a replacement vehicle if your car is no longer roadworthy due to a breakdown or collision, or if you have lost keys.
Insurance is included with rental cars. However, many car rental companies have high deductibles in their contracts. Comprehensive insurance without a deductible is generally the carefree package when renting a car, and can be taken out with most car rental companies. It that is, however, usually very expensive. Our "Rental and Shared Vehicles" insurance covers costs for the deductible, vehicle repairs as well as roadside assistance and towing costs for CHF 87 per year.
