Faster or slower than the rest?
EGK rose +37.8 % over the period, against +52.6 % for the cheapest insurer in the same place. The gap narrowed — which does not mean this insurer is the cheapest today, only that it climbed more slowly.
The year that hurt — The steepest year-on-year jump was 2017: +11.2 % in one go. The premium did not move in 2020.
Figures for an adult, CHF 300 deductible, accident cover included — the only profile defined identically across all twelve years. Each year this is the lowest premium the insurer offered, all models combined.
