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 not the cheapest in any region of the country. Depending on the region, the gap to the cheapest runs from CHF 346.80 to CHF 2'046.00 a year.
On a like-for-like footprint, SWICA's median premium went from CHF 329.50 in 2015 to CHF 489.25 in 2026 — +48.5 %.
That is more than the market median (+47.6 %): SWICA rose faster than the average insurer.
Today SWICA is the 12th cheapest of 30 comparable insurers — the rise and the price do not say the same thing.
