Key points at a glance
This information page is aimed at people living in Renens (roughly 20’927 residents (postal code 1020)), in the canton of Vaud, who want to organise their insurance, tax matters and cover in line with Swiss law. Assur-IA supports households and the self-employed with a clear treatment of "Car insurance" — premiums, deductibles, deductions and responsibilities — without replacing individual tax or legal advice.
In Switzerland some rules are cantonal (tax rates, deductions, allowances), others federal (LAMal, federal law). In Renens, 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 — Prilly (1 km), Chavannes-près-Renens (1 km), Crissier (2 km) — each have their own local page as well. The sections below list the key points to check.

Car insurance in Renens: liability, partial and comprehensive cover
Anyone registering a car in Renens 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.
