German law and the unwillingness to pay 80-100 euros a year to lessen the risk... Is this estimate still up to date? I have just received a offer through the post for PrivatHaftpflichtversicherung insurance at 51 EUR a year or 38 EUR a year "als Single". 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 11 Jan 2019 Read the small print, commentarlos! And is there a deductible? And what is excluded? And does it need you to prove you have been without claims the past three/five years etc? Does it come attached to another insurance (eg household insurance), does it expect a three year contract etc? Does it come with a guarantee that anything not included in its clauses IS after all included if any other provider offers that clause? etc etc By the way, did you ask for a quote or was it a " cold call" by post offer? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 11 Jan 2019 Thank you! So 80-100 EUR would be a reasonable sum still taking into the factors you list. I do have another insurance with the company and at the time of taking the insurance out asked for further info on Privathaftpflicht. Didn't specifically ask for a quote now though. I was just wondering what a ball park figure for a young person starting out themselves would be in 2019 that would not have made previous claims etc. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 11 Jan 2019 38 euros a year sounds too good to be true...there must be a catch...that is my professional opinion, Kommentarlos...if you want to email me the quote, I can give you my opinion. I will not try to sell you anything. Companies have different tariffs..basic, good, better , best etc. Don´t mess around with Haftpflicht..go for the top one. What will I gain? An insight into what might be around that I am not aware of.

Posted 11 Jan 2019 Forderungsausfall is another 8 EUR on top. 1 year contract. There is some sort of unentgeltliche Hilfeleistung included but you would need to check closely if ones personal activities are included. Has a rating of 1.0 Stiftung Warentest Finanztest in 2017. Deductibles seem to be listed on a case by case basis. There is a box to tick if you have made a claim in the last 3 years. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
