I am taking over the car or motorbike and the licence plate from my spouse. Do we have to do anything?

An insurance contract is always personal and therefore cannot be transferred.

Use our online premium calculator car insurance and motorcycle insurance for an individual quote. Afterwards you can conclude the insurance contract directly online.

In order for you to be able to report the change of owner to the Road Traffic Office, we simultaneously trigger the electronic insurance certificate.

In addition, the road traffic office of your canton will require the “Kontrollschilder Abtretungsformular” filled out by you. You can order this via the website of the road traffic office responsible for you. After you have completed the transfer at the road traffic office, your spouse’s current contract will be cancelled and the unused premium will be refunded.
