Is changing car insurance beneficial?
Most motorists pay more than necessary for their car insurance, often because they have not adjusted their policy for years. However, a change can save money and provide better benefits.
Regular comparison of car insurance policies is advisable, especially at the turn of the year.

When is it worthwhile to change car insurance?
A policy change is not only possible at the end of the year; there are also valid reasons to review your insurance during the year.

Premium increase by the insurer
If your insurance company increases the premium, you have a special right of termination. Utilize this opportunity for a comparison.

Vehicle change or relocation
A new car or a new place of residence can influence the premium. Check whether another provider offers a more favorable or more comprehensive policy.

Change in no-claims bonus class
Maintaining an accident-free record leads to a better no-claims bonus class, entitling you to lower premiums. Not all insurers reward this equally.

Annually by November 30th – the deadline
Most car insurance contracts run until December 31st of a given year.
Termination must be received by the previous insurer by November 30th for the change to become effective on January 1st.

Inexpensive does not always mean good
Many online comparison portals primarily list inexpensive tariffs, but price alone should not be the decisive factor. Pay attention to performance details that can make a critical difference in an emergency.

Free choice of workshop
Only with this option are you permitted to take your vehicle to your preferred workshop in the event of damage, without restrictions from the insurer.

New value compensation
Particularly important for new vehicles: In the event of a total loss, you receive the full new value, not just the current market value.

Conclusion: A change can be beneficial, but not at any cost.
A favorable premium is important, but the right benefits are crucial.
Our recommendation: Review your car insurance once a year, ideally in October or early November. This allows sufficient time for a change to take effect in the new year.
