Liability insurance
Liability insurance is obligatory in Switzerland for all keepers of motor vehicles under the Road Traffic Act. It covers any damage you may cause to other road users (drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians), animals or property while you are driving and protects you from unjustified claims for damages you may face.
Accidental damage insurance
Partial accidental damage: Partial accidental damage insurance covers you for damage to your own vehicle and includes theft and damage from natural perils, animals, glass breakage and martens, among other things. In addition to the basic package, transported belongings and the replacement car service can be included.
Comprehensive accidental damage: Comprehensive accidental damage insurance (collision) covers damage to your own vehicle in addition to any damage that is covered under partial accidental damage insurance.

Accident
The insurance covers the driver and persons traveling in the vehicle who suffer an accident during the journey. Insured benefits are provided immediately, even if the question of who is at fault has not yet been resolved.
Payment in the event of a total loss
In the event of a total loss, you can choose between the present value supplement Plus, present value supplement and the present value. If you have the present value supplement Plus, the full new-for-old value of the vehicle will be compensated for a claim in the first two years. In the following years, AXA will pay the prorated portion (a percentage) of the vehicle’s value based on its years in operation.
