What will this service cost me?

For you as a Zurich customer or as the victim of an accident with a vehicle insured with Zurich, this service is free. We want to wow you with our service excellence. With our Help Point Plus option, you benefit from more favorable car insurance conditions if you have your vehicle repaired via our network.

Is the cheapest repair method automatically chosen?

This is not the case: We don't choose the cheapest, but rather the least invasive repair method for the vehicle and the environment. For rock damage, for example, it is often better not to replace the entire windshield. If the windshield is repaired instead of replaced, this has less impact on the car and is more environmentally friendly: Sustainability is an important concern at Zurich.

Will I be given an equivalent car as a courtesy vehicle?

Of course. Incidentally, the Zurich Help Point is also set up for special requests. If a customer only drives an automatic or needs a child safety seat, we also make that possible. When you pick it up, your car will be freshly vacuumed, cleaned and disinfected. In addition, we carry out a free safety check. The vehicle expert, for example, provides feedback if he or she notices something is wrong with the position of the headrests or the tire tread.

What if I am not satisfied with the repair?

Should you ever be dissatisfied, we will grant you a lifetime guarantee on all repairs via the Zurich Help Point. Having said that, we choose our repair partners carefully and are convinced of their quality: 9 out of 10 Zurich Help Point customers are so satisfied with our services that they would recommend Zurich to their friends and acquaintances.

Do I always have to have my car repaired at the Zurich Help Point?

It's up to you. You can, of course, also choose your usualgarage – they may be a Zurich Help Point partner anyway! However, if you chose the Help Point Plus option when taking out your car insurance, you grant permission for your damage to be dealt with via our Zurich Help Point network. You benefit from the excellent service and a reduced premium.
