Car insurance in Aarau: liability, partial and comprehensive cover
Anyone registering a car in Aarau needs third-party liability insurance (damage to others) without exception. Optional but often sensible: partial casco (theft, glass breakage, natural damage, martens) and, for newer vehicles, comprehensive casco (including self-inflicted collision). Premiums depend among other things on your driving profile, annual mileage and where you park.
Comparing pays off especially when you change vehicle or after claim-free years: no-claims levels, deductibles and add-ons (parking damage, gross negligence, legal protection, replacement car) vary widely. For new cars, replacement at current or new value is a key criterion.
Clarify before switching
- Claims history and no-claims level over recent years.
- Partial or comprehensive casco — depending on the age and value of the vehicle.
- Scope of cover: gross negligence, parking damage, replacement vehicle, driving abroad.
