Key points at a glance
For residents of Au (roughly 7’788 residents (postal code 9434)) (canton of St. Gallen), this local guide sums up what matters for "Car insurance": aligning contracts, taxes and pension planning sensibly under Swiss law. Our approach is explanatory and neutral — it complements personal professional or tax advice but does not replace it.
In Switzerland some rules are cantonal (tax rates, deductions, allowances), others federal (LAMal, federal law). In Au, your actual circumstances — renting or owning, employment status, household size, vehicles, cross-border income — therefore shape risk and priorities far more than the postal code. The nearest municipalities — Berneck (2 km), St. Margrethen (2 km), Walzenhausen (3 km) — each have their own local page as well. The sections below list the key points to check.

Car insurance in Au: liability, partial and comprehensive cover
Motor third-party liability is compulsory in Switzerland for every registered vehicle — it covers the damage you cause to others. Beyond that, partial casco protects your own vehicle against natural events, theft, glass breakage or marten damage, and comprehensive (full casco) additionally covers self-inflicted collisions. In Au, your driving profile, annual mileage and parking spot affect how insurers rate the risk.
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.
