I have inherited my grandfather’s car or motorbike. Is the policy transferable?

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 report the change of owner to the Road Traffic Office, we simultaneously trigger electronic insurance certificate.

If you also take over the license plates, the road traffic office of your canton will require the “license plates assignment form” filled out by you. You can order this via the website of the road traffic office responsible for you.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.

After you have made the transfer at the Road Traffic Office, the current contract will be cancelled and the unused premium will be refunded.
