What advantages does the Zurich Repair Network offer?
The Zurich Repair Network (formerly known as Help Point PLUS) is a service that takes care of organizing the entire repair for you in the event of a loss. The advantages are obvious:
- No effort for you
You report the claim to us by phone or online, or make an appointment directly at one of our 30 or so Zurich Help Points – and we take care of the rest: we organize the repair and an alternative means of transportation (replacement vehicle, public transit ticket or taxi voucher) so that you remain mobile. - No extra costs
There is no extra payment for this service – the only important thing is that you contact Zurich first in the event of a loss. This enables us to provide you with optimum support and ensure that you benefit from all the advantages of our network. - Switzerland-wide network
We have connections nationwide with around 300 first-class partner garages, and the Zurich Repair Network means you can benefit from this too. We will suggest a partner garage near you. - Lifetime repair guarantee
Repairs carried out by our partner garages are covered by a lifetime guarantee. - Premium reduction
You pay a lower premium because you report the damage to Zurich first and we can organize the repair through our network. - Sustainability
Thanks to our reliable partner network, we use targeted repair methods that are cost effective and ensure a high quality of service for your vehicle – while also paying attention to the responsible use of resources.

How can I benefit from the Zurich Repair Network?
This service is included as standard in our motor vehicle insurance. You do not need to take any further action when taking out insurance. You automatically benefit from the Zurich Repair Network – unless you expressly select "self-organized repair". Then you will waive the benefits of the Zurich Repair Network, including the premium discount. However, you are still welcome to contact our Zurich Help Points.
Can I choose the garage for the repair myself?
If you use the Zurich Repair Network, the repair will be carried out by one of our 300 or so partner garages. We have a nationwide network and are convinced of the quality of our partner garages. We would be happy to work with you to find the garage closest to you that is best suited for the repair.
Can I opt out of the Zurich Repair Network?
Yes, you can also have your vehicle repaired outside the Zurich Repair Network. Please note that this means you will waive the special benefits of our partner network and that the contractually agreed conditions, such as the premium discount or the deductible, may change.
What happens if I don't contact Zurich first in the event of a loss?
To benefit from the Zurich Repair Network, you agree to report the claim to Zurich first so that we can organize the repair. If you organize the repair without Zurich, your deductible for accidental damage insurance will increase.
What happens in the event of a loss abroad?
Even if you are abroad, we are there for you. Contact us and we will help you find a suitable garage in the area.
