The premium for your insurance is a single premium that is due at the start of the contract for the entire contract term and is payable in one amount. The single premium is made up of the contract term (number of days/months) and the selected tariff. The currently valid insurance tax is included.

If a direct debit mandate is issued, the insurer agrees to defer part of the single premium. The first instalment is collected from the account at the start of the contract. The following instalments will be collected from the account on a monthly basis. The amount of the partial amounts corresponds to the selected tariff for one month.

In the case of bank transfer, the single premium is due in advance at the start of the insurance for the entire term. Your payment is deemed to be on time if it is made/received at the start of the contract for the entire term of the contract.

You can pay with the following credit cards: Mastercard / Visa / American Express.

If you pay by credit card, the one-off premium is due in advance at the start of the insurance for the entire term. Your payment is deemed to be on time if it is made/received at the start of the contract for the entire term of the contract. Insurance cover only exists for the period for which payments have been made. A prerequisite for insurance cover is the timely payment of premiums, preferably by direct debit or credit card.If the single premium or the first premium is not paid when the insured event occurs, the insurers are not obliged to provide benefits unless you are not responsible for the non-payment.
