Cancelling insurance in Switzerland: deadlines, steps and mistakes to avoid

How to cancel cleanly and without risk

Cancelling an insurance contract usually makes sense after a premium increase, a change in your personal situation or when you have found a more suitable solution. The key is not to cancel quickly, but to understand what you want to improve: price, cover, service or day-to-day simplicity.

A sound cancellation process starts with the replacement strategy. Compare alternatives, check the timing and keep written proof of every step so you do not end up with an invalid request or a break in protection.

• Check the exact contract deadline
• Confirm the cancellation method accepted by the insurer
• Keep proof of sending and confirmation
