01Compare

Compare car insurance: see price and protection together.

The cheapest car insurance can only be determined using your details. Therefore, compare liability, partial comprehensive, and comprehensive insurance on the same basis: same drivers, same annual mileage, and same start date. Deductibles and important additional benefits should also match.

  1. Gather vehicle and insurance details

    Compile vehicle, usage, driver and previous insurance.

  2. Check tariffs

    Compare annual premium, benefits, deductible and exclusions side by side.

  3. Make an informed decision

    Read the documents and apply for the desired protection. The insurer confirms acceptance and start of coverage.

We compare available tariffs from different insurers, not automatically the entire market. A comparison or inquiry alone does not constitute insurance coverage.

02Benefits

Liability, partially comprehensive or fully comprehensive?

Motor vehicle liability is generally required for a car that requires registration. It pays the legitimate claims of others and defends against unjustified claims. It does not cover damage to your own car. Depending on the cause, partial or fully comprehensive insurance is an option.

Typical protection: Liability alone or with additional comprehensive insurance

The table does not replace tariff conditions. In the case of animal accidents, the species of animals insured must be checked, and in the case of animal bites, the consequential damage and their limits must be checked. Even if a service is included, the agreed deductible and possible exclusions apply.

Third-party liability

If you hit someone else's car while pulling out of a parking space, this is a case for motor vehicle liability insurance. It accepts legitimate claims from others, including in the event of injuries, and defends against unjustified claims. Damage to your own car is excluded.

Partial comprehensive insurance

A stone chip in the windshield is a typical case for partial insurance. It also covers damage caused by fire, storm or hail and the theft of your car. Self-inflicted parking damage is not included.

Person looks at parking damage to the car.

Comprehensive cover

You misjudge the distance when parking and damage your own car. For such self-inflicted accident damage, fully comprehensive insurance applies according to the tariff conditions. It also includes partial comprehensive protection and damage caused by vandalism. You bear the agreed deductible yourself.

When partial comprehensive insurance can be suitable

You want protection against risks such as theft, glass breakage, or hail, but you are willing to cover any damage you cause to your own car yourself. The key is whether the potential loss fits your reserves.

When you should check fully comprehensive insurance

For a new or valuable car and often when leasing or financing. Fully comprehensive insurance includes the partial comprehensive risks and additionally, among other things, your own accident damage and vandalism. The specifications of your financing contract are also important.

The age of the vehicle alone is not the deciding factor. Have both variants calculated for your car; your SF class can also influence the difference. Wear and tear and common technical defects are not covered by comprehensive insurance.

03Premium

How much does car insurance cost?

Brand and engine power alone are not enough for a reliable price. Two people can pay different premiums for the same model. This information makes the difference:

Your vehicle
Model and engine size are factored in via the type class. First registration, value, and financing can also influence the premium or the choice of appropriate comprehensive insurance.
Your registration area
The regional class takes your district’s loss balance into account. Moving can therefore change the contribution, even though you drive the same car.
The drivers
Who drives, how old the drivers are, and how long they have held a driving licence are important for the calculation. A young additional driver can make a different tariff worthwhile.
Your claims history
Claim-free years affect the SF class in liability and comprehensive insurance. Partial comprehensive insurance does not have an SF class. A better classification does not guarantee a lower total premium if the insurer adjusts its prices.
Usage, protection and payment method
Annual mileage, parking space, private or commercial use, deductible and additional services are included in the comparison. Check the total annual contribution: The sum of monthly installments may be higher than an annual payment.

This way you can check for a cheaper contribution

Compare annual and installment payments, suitable deductibles, and, if applicable, workshop binding. Provide realistic details for drivers and mileage, and report any subsequent changes. Incorrect information is not a sensible way to save money and, depending on the contract, can lead to additional payments or other consequences.

A higher deductible may save premiums. However, in the event of a claim, you must have this amount available. Ours Guide to deductibles helps you to classify this decision.

04Registration

eVB number: proof of insurance for your car.

The electronic insurance confirmation is a seven-digit code made up of letters and numbers. The registration office will then request proof of your motor vehicle liability insurance, for example in the case of a new registration or re-registration. We support you with the right eVB.

Clarify in advance who will be the policyholder and holder, what you need the confirmation for and when the protection should begin. The insurer specifies the period of validity. Special insurance is required for short-term license plates.

Get confirmation before the registration appointment
Submitting a request does not automatically generate an eVB. Wait for confirmation from your insurer. The eVB is not an automatic guarantee for partial or comprehensive coverage—you must separately arrange these and their effective dates.

05Claim-free years

What changes your no-claims bonus class.

Your no-claims discount reflects your claims history in both liability and fully comprehensive insurance, which may be rated differently. After a settled claim, a downgrade may occur, following your insurer’s table. The no-claims system does not apply to partial comprehensive insurance.

When switching, compare the confirmed no-claims years and the actual premiums. A special rating class, second-car rule, or no-claims bonus protection from the previous provider does not have to be carried over unchanged by the new insurer.

Claims history from Poland or another EEA country

Writes for liability § 5c Paragraph 3 PflVG (opens in a new tab) stipulates that a loss history certificate issued there is treated like a German one. Discrimination based on nationality or solely on previous EEA residence is not permitted.

This is not a fixed conversion of discount percentages into a German SF class. Obtain the certificate from your previous insurer and have the specific classification confirmed before you make your decision. We also support you in Polish.

06Switching contracts

Check notice period. Clarify new coverage. Then switch.

Have your current premium bill and insurance certificate ready. We compare the coverage you want and help you cancel. Before you end the current contract, it must be clear whether and from when the new insurer will provide the required protection.

30.11.Not for every contract

Your insurance period ends on 31 December and a notice period of one month, termination must be received by the insurer by November 30 at the latest. The sending date is not sufficient. Contracts during the year have different dates.

After a premium increase

If the insurer increases the premium due to an adjustment clause without extending coverage, § 40 VVG provides for a right of termination within one month of receipt of the notification. The termination takes effect at the earliest at the time of the increase. Have the grounds and deadline checked specifically.

After a claim or vehicle sale

Special termination rights may apply following a claim. The start date and deadline depend on the line of business and the processing of the case. Separate rules apply in the event of a sale. Notify the insurer promptly and have the next steps confirmed.

07Take a closer look at the tariff

Which additional services suit your use?

Not every building block is needed. First, check what is already included, what your leasing contract requires and what costs you can cover yourself. Then compare the additional contribution.

Breakdown cover (Schutzbrief)
Breakdown assistance, towing and, if necessary, onward travel or a replacement car. Compare scope of application, distance limits and services abroad. Also check whether you already have this help through an automobile club or a mobility guarantee.
Partner garage requirement
In the event of a comprehensive insurance claim, you use one of the insurer's partner workshops and often receive a lower premium. For leasing and financing, the repair specifications must align. Also clarify pick-up and replacement car arrangements.
No-claims discount protection
Can prevent a downgrade after a certain number of claims with the previous insurer. This does not mean a fixed premium or the adoption of this classification by a new insurer.
Driver protection
Can cover the driver's own personal injuries following an accident that was their own fault. Motor vehicle liability insurance does not replace this. Benefits, recognition of other claims and exclusions vary depending on the tariff.
GAP cover
For leased or financed vehicles: In the event of a total loss or theft, it can close the contractually defined gap between the comprehensive insurance compensation and the outstanding settlement with the lessor or bank. Check whether it is already included.
New and purchase price compensation
Under specified conditions, replaces the new or purchase price instead of just the replacement value. The decisive factors are the insured period, the compensation limits and the conditions for a replacement vehicle.

For regular trips abroad, for example to Poland, you should also check the geographical scope and help in the event of damage. A car policy is not a replacement Traffic legal protection for insured legal disputes.

Frequently asked questions about car insurance

Which vehicle insurance is mandatory?

For a car that requires registration, you generally need motor vehicle liability insurance. It covers the legitimate claims of others and protects against unjustified claims. Partial comprehensive insurance and fully comprehensive insurance are not required by law; However, a leasing or financing contract may require comprehensive coverage.

When is fully comprehensive insurance worthwhile instead of partial comprehensive insurance?

Comprehensive insurance is particularly worth considering if a self-inflicted total loss would be financially difficult to bear or if your leasing contract requires it. The decisive factors are the vehicle value, premium, deductible, and your financial flexibility. A blanket age limit for the car is of little help.

How much does car insurance cost per month?

Without vehicle data, driver group, usage and damage history, no reliable contribution can be given. Compare the costs for a whole year with the same protection. A low monthly rate alone says nothing about the annual price or the appropriate insurance.

Can I already use the vehicle calculator?

The vehicle calculator can be accessed at /rechner/kfz. It guides you through vehicle details, usage, driver information, and insurance coverage. For real premiums, the Praedurion comparison service must be activated; you can see the current status directly in the calculator. Without a connection, no tariffs will be generated, and no applications will be sent. You can still request a personal comparison.

How quickly do I get an eVB number?

This depends on the insurer and whether all details can be verified. We assist with your request but cannot guarantee immediate issuance. Schedule your vehicle registration appointment only after receiving a confirmed eVB. Initiating contact does not generate a code.

Does fully comprehensive insurance automatically apply with an eVB?

No. The eVB serves as electronic proof of motor vehicle liability at the registration office. Whether and from when additional comprehensive insurance coverage is available must be expressly agreed and confirmed. Clarify when coverage begins, especially before picking up a new car.

Can I have years of no claims from Poland taken into account?

In the case of liability, the insurer must treat a loss history certificate from Poland or another EEA state in accordance with § 5c paragraph 3 PflVG as a German certificate. However, this does not result in a general conversion of a Polish discount percentage into a specific German SF class. Have the specific classification confirmed.

Do I always have to cancel by November 30?

Only if your insurance period ends on December 31 and a one-month notice period applies. For other terms, a different date applies. In addition, special termination rights may exist, for example in the event of a corresponding increase in contributions. The contract and timely receipt by the insurer are crucial.

Does advice at Praedurion cost extra?

We do not charge you a separate fee for the comparison and broker support. The insurer pays our compensation. You pay the premium for the chosen insurance contract according to its terms and conditions. The comparison includes available tariffs and does not automatically reflect the entire market.

Can Praedurion manage my existing car insurance policy?

We check whether your insurer allows the transfer of care and what documents are required for this. You don't have to automatically switch tariffs just to take care of your child. We will only take over the support after your order and the necessary confirmation.
