I have insurance from two different insurance companies. Each has its own set of coverages and both seem to cover different things, so it is hard to compare them. How can I find out whether I am getting the same coverage from both or not?

Hi there,

In Switzerland, many people have insurance coverage that they do not actually need.

Because many insurance companies bundle multiple coverages in one policy, it can be difficult to avoid overlapping insurance. This is especially true with regards to travel insurance, supplementary health insurance (which may also include travel and legal insurance), car insurance and the insurance benefits that come with certain credit cards.

You can get tips on this topic in these articles:
