The nearest municipalities — Kriens (3 km), Emmen (3 km), Horw (4 km) — each have their own local page as well. Below you will find the relevant reference points for a first assessment.

Car insurance in Lucerne: liability, partial and comprehensive cover
Anyone registering a car in Lucerne 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.
When comparing, look beyond the premium: deductibles, bonus protection, cover for gross negligence, parking damage and new-value compensation make the difference when a claim arises. Switching provider is usually possible at contract end — and often earlier if the premium rises.
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.
