German insurance, explained in English

Some insurance is mandatory in Germany: everyone needs health insurance, and every registered car needs third-party liability cover. Most other policies are voluntary, although dog owners in Berlin also need liability cover. Many are still well worth having, above all personal liability insurance (Privathaftpflicht).

Policies and contract documents are issued in German. We go through them with you in English, answer your questions and remain your point of contact if you ever need to make a claim.

  • Advice in English, German and Turkish
  • We review your existing contracts together
  • Personal contacts instead of a call centre
  • Support when you need to make a claim
