Hi People
I just wanted to remind yo (because I’m so angry), that you URGENTLY should check your car insurance and change it to a new insurance.
My Insurace increased the price for about 125 CHF p.a. more.
WHAT THE FUCK.
It’s an increase for about freaking 15%(!).
And of course the info about the increase is in the second page after some Bullshit-I dont care-Bla bla in the first page. Like seriously? If you increase the price, tell me straight away, so i can terminate the contract right away in the same second.
Inflation ok, but 15%?
I found few insurance companies with welcome 10% discount, so im about the same price.
Happy holidays!

To add something: The price increase isnt even a header in this. For me it looks like they want to hide this. Its a JOKE.
Zurich Insurance did the same to me a couple of months ago, also an increase of 15%
Go it last year from Helvetia.
To be honest it will improve when there will be a robust check on how much garages are charging back to them. I always ask 2 quotes: the one through the insurance, and the one without.
And for mandatory garage designated by insurance companies, I am sure it is scammy too.
Same with AXA.
I think it is very weird that suddenly all of them are doing it at the same time – Feels like a coordinated approach. Usually the insurance prices are already variable depending on car model, driver etc. so why squeeze the existing customer base suddenly?
Just obtained my eBill yesterday, payable latest on 1 January 2026. Pretty short duration when compared to most bills offering 30 days, but ok, I won’t complain:
0 CHF increase (full casco at Allianz). Absolutely the same as last year, to the Rappen.
Mine was >20% … nearly fell of my seat when I opened it
But I rang the guy and got it fixed. I assume they just push it as far as they can. Those that ring up, they fix it back to what it was.
Why so angry? Who cares if they raise prices, you are not married to them. Insurances are part of your yearly house cleaning and if something is cheaper you change to that… And as for car insurance there might be stuff you don’t need so instead of insuring everything, check what it would cost to pay yourself and how likely something is to happen.
Baloise pulled the same last year. Raised my prices by about 20%. Now comes the kicker: I called my agent on the phone and demanded a better rate because I was a long time customer of theirs. They told me: No can do. So I changed to TCS which was able to give me the old price. Their insurer: Baloise. I ended up with the exact same agent who told me he couldn’t do anything about the prices.
Wtf, just checked and realized helvetia siltently increased my premium by +14%. I only opened the message online now, but it was created early november. Is it too late for me to cancel based on this? What a scam
For a new comer to Switzerland, which car insurance company would you recommend please ? 😀
Haha, consider yourself lucky. Some insurance kick you out when you are too expensive and than you have to battle to find a new one. Never seen this before. Helvetia seems one of them.
Mine at axa is still the same like the last 4 years also no increase
Just give kündigung and move to PostFinance Auto Versicherung. I saved 1300chf for the same insurance package lol.
Don’t we have cancellation right upon price increase? Switch every year. Its great
There are so many companies that offer a “new customer” discount. And so few that reward their long-term customers. Honestly, that’s stupid, short-term thinking.
