In order to take out a new car insurance policy, you will need to cancel your current policy. To do so, find out the notice period for your current policy. You can find the conditions either in the policy or the General Terms and Conditions of Insurance (GTCI).

Cancel your existing policy subject to the deadlines set out in the contract. To do so, you can use our The link will open in a new window cancellation letter template.

This step is not required if you are planning to register the vehicle in your name for the first time (vehicle purchase).

Once you have provided all the necessary information, we will send your proof of insurance to the driver and vehicle licensing office in your canton before your coverage commences. We will notify you of this by e-mail so that you can register/reassign your vehicle.

We recommend visiting the relevant driver and vehicle licensing office to do this in person 4 to 5 days before your coverage commences.

If you wish to register your vehicle by post, please contact the relevant driver and vehicle licensing office.

Please ensure you have all the necessary documents to hand:

• if you are changing policies: the original vehicle registration document
• If you are purchasing a used vehicle: the original vehicle registration document so it can be cancelled
• If you are purchasing a new vehicle: audit report 13.20A

Your coverage will commence automatically once you have registered/reassigned your vehicle at the relevant driver and vehicle licensing office. 

As soon as PostFinance receives confirmation of this from the driver and vehicle licensing office, all the contractual documents will be sent to you by post.

You can register in PostFinance’s The link will open in a new window online cockpit at any time to ensure you have round-the-clock access to your insurance information. 

The online cockpit provides assistance with PostFinance car insurance.
