Insurance

Insurance protection for you and your loved ones: Unexpected events can turn life upside down – smzh helps you remain financially protected. Be it household contents, personal liability, vehicle, or life insurance – we offer solutions that are customized according to your requirements and circumstances. Trust smzh in helping you get comprehensive coverage in everyday life and beyond.

Household contents insurance: Protection for your personal belongings

Your home is more than just a place – it is where you feel safe and secure. In Switzerland, household contents insurance provides financial protection for your personal belongings and protects you from incurring high costs in the event of damage. Among other things, it covers:

Damage caused by fire, storms, hail, or floods.

Protection against water damage in one's apartment and burglary.

Depending on the policy, the insurance can also cover theft outside the home.

Basic coverage means your valuables are insured at replacement value so you do not need to come up for the costs yourself. For invidual protection, you can add additional options to include valuable electronics, jewelry, or cases of gross negligence. This way, your coverage remains flexible and tailored to your needs.

Why a household contents insurance makes sense

Accidents and unexpected damages can result in a significant financial burden. With a household contents insurance, you make sure that your property is well protected in case of an emergency – while you can focus on what's essential without having to worry about financial matters.

Your individual coverage

Every home is unique, and your insurance coverage should be equally unique. Let us advise you to find the coverage that truly suits your circumstances.

Personal liability insurance: Coverage in case of unforeseen costs

Property damage

Damage to third-party property, e.g., furniture, electronics, or vehicles.

Your individual insurance

Injury of third parties, e.g. in accidents caused by you or your children.

Damage caused by pets

Should your pet cause damage, for instance scratches on a wooden floor or bitemarks on a handbag.

Small mishaps can easily lead to significant costs – for instance red wine spilled on a friend's white carpet, damage to a neighbor's bike, or a broken shop window. Private liability insuance protects you against financial consequences in case you or a member of your household accidentally damage third-party property or injure others.

Why private liability insurance makes sense

A moment of negligence can quickly lead to steep costs – often with no prior warning. Private liability insurance covers such unexpected costs, protecting you from financial burden. It provides assurance that you are covered in case of emergency and do not need to incur any unnecessary risks.

Individual and flexible

Adjust your private liability insurance to your circumstances and select the kind of coverage you need. This way, you have comprehensive protection without paying too much.

Health insurance: Tailor-made coverage for the entire family

Private or semi-private

These options provide more comfortable hospital accommodation (single room or two-bed room) and a greater selection of doctors, which can be an advantage particularly in case of planned surgeries for children.

Your individual protection

Basic coverage only includes emergencies abroad, but supplementary insurance provides further protection that includes planned treatments abroad – a valuable addition for families that travel regularly.

Supplementary insurance

Supplementary insurance covers treatments that basic insurance does not include, for instance for alternative forms of treatment, non-prescription drugs, or dental treatments that children may need early on.
