If you own a car in Switzerland, you might have noticed an unwelcome surprise recently—insurance premiums have skyrocketed, with some fees increasing by as much as 25%. For car enthusiasts who enjoy the thrill of owning exclusive vehicles like supercars, this hike could feel like a hard hit to the wallet. But why exactly are premiums on the rise, and how can you still enjoy the luxury of driving a sports car without breaking the bank?
Let’s dive into the reasons behind these increased costs and why Supercar Sharing offers a smarter, more economical solution for your passion for high-performance vehicles.
Why Have Swiss Insurance Costs Increased?
Swiss insurers have raised vehicle insurance premiums for several reasons:
Elemental Damage: The past year has seen a significant rise in claims due to extreme weather events such as hailstorms, floods, and landslides. These natural disasters have led to higher repair costs, which insurers have passed on to customers.
Costlier Repairs: Modern vehicles, especially luxury cars, are packed with advanced technology and premium materials. While this innovation elevates the driving experience, it also means repairs are becoming increasingly expensive, contributing to higher insurance fees.
Inflation and Labor Costs: Rising inflation and higher wages for skilled labor have driven up the overall costs for insurers, resulting in higher premiums across the board.
These increases disproportionately affect owners of multiple vehicles, particularly those who have a second or third car for leisure—like a sports car.
The Reality of Owning a Supercar
Let’s face it: for most enthusiasts, a supercar is a second or even third vehicle, purchased purely for the joy of driving. However, this comes with substantial costs beyond insurance:
Depreciation
Maintenance and servicing
Parking and storage
Owning a high-performance car outright can feel like a financial juggling act. When you combine these costs with the recent insurance hikes, it’s no wonder many are questioning if full ownership is still worth it.
But does this mean you have to give up the dream of driving a Ferrari or McLaren? Absolutely not.
Supercar Sharing: The Smart Alternative
Having been on the market for almost four years, we believe that the pleasure of driving a luxury sports car should not come with unnecessary financial burdens. That’s where co-ownership comes in. Instead of bearing the full weight of ownership, you can share the costs with like-minded enthusiasts while still enjoying all the perks of driving a supercar.
Here’s how it works:
You buy a share in an exclusive vehicle, typically 20% or 10%, depending on the arrangement.
Costs for insurance, maintenance, and other expenses are shared proportionally among co-owners.
You reserve your driving days through our easy-to-use booking system.
The result?
You get to enjoy the thrill of driving your dream car without worrying about sky-high costs.
