We publish no reviews: we have no real ones, and inventing them would be dishonest. Instead, the only facts a comparator can establish — computed on the official premiums, adult profile, CHF 300 deductible, accident included.
This insurer is the cheapest in 2 of 42 regions. Depending on the region, the gap to the cheapest runs from CHF 0.00 to CHF 1'821.60 a year.

Today Galenos is the 19th cheapest of 30 comparable insurers — the rise and the price do not say the same thing.
