Excess insurance for rental cars

Hello,

Does anyone know of any insurance companies in Switzerland that cover car rental excess? CDW etc?

I can find tons for the UK etc, but none for CH residents... (that arn't through agencies like cartrawler)

Thanks!!

It can be part of the standard 3rd party liability insurance ( Privathaftpflichtversicherungen ) which you are strongly advised to have.

The insurance policy will cover the no claims bonus lost on the car insurance, when you drive a car not belonging to you, and crash it.

I use these guys when I'm renting abroad. I think you can get them to cover rentals in Switzerland but it's better to check with them.

Worldwide insurance for me is around GBP40! Cheap as chips!

I use these people
http://www.worldwideinsure.com/car-h...-insurance.php
as their coverage covers you everywhere including country of residence and is available to residents of any country.

Can't speak for the claims process as, touch wood, I've never had to claim.
