"We’ve been offering our customers extra services for some time now, supplementing traditional telecommunications products with exclusive benefits. And now we’re taking the next step with innovative and flexible insurance solutions. Our subscription customers can benefit from leading insurance services that are very hard to find anywhere else in this combination and with such attractive terms. This means we can offer customers a completely worry-free experience when they’re travelling and in the digital space," says Christoph Richartz, Chief Consumer Officer Main Brand at Sunrise.
Sunrise has been supplementing its telecommunications products for some time, with extra offers such as payment services (Sunrise Pay), cybersecurity products (Sunrise Protect) and Device-as-a-Service (Smart Upgrade, Flex Upgrade). Thanks to these extra services, Sunrise customers enjoy exclusive benefits not available anywhere else. And now this is also possible with travel and cyber insurance.
The practical travel insurance policy for the summer holidays
The Swiss are world champions when it comes to travel. Around 90% of the population make at least one trip involving an overnight stay each year, with the average person making around three trips. Two-thirds of these journeys are abroad. Wherever Sunrise customers are in the world, Sunrise keeps them connected via mobile, Internet and TV. From now on, Sunrise won’t just be supporting you with communication services, but with comprehensive travel insurance too.
The new Sunrise travel insurance offers comprehensive travel protection, including coverage for trip cancellation costs, 24/7 emergency assistance, medical assistance abroad and repatriation to Switzerland, legal protection in the event of travel problems, loss of or damage to luggage, unlimited roadside assistance, excess reduction for rental cars, costs incurred due to breakdowns and delays to public transport, and refunds on tickets for events bought in connection with a trip.
And what’s extra handy for you is that you can choose to take out Sunrise travel insurance for a month or for a whole year. Depending on which insurance cover you choose, it will cost you from CHF 29/month or from CHF 78/year, which is a monthly cost of CHF 6.50.
Cyber insurance for your daily trip to the digital world
Much of what happens in our daily lives now takes place online. We browse, pay for things, work and live our lives in the digital world. This makes many aspects of our lives easier but also carries risks.
The Sunrise Protect app, one of our current products, provides preventative protection against such risks. But even with the best protection, hackers may still manage to find new security vulnerabilities. In the last twelve months, almost 60,000 cyber incidents have been reported to Switzerland’s National Cyber Security Centre. Phishing, online fraud, identity theft and cyber bullying are also real threats and can affect even the most careful customers. Sunrise cyber insurance covers these risks and supports you with legal and psychological support. Sunrise cyber insurance costs CHF 78/year, a monthly cost of CHF 6.50. And it covers everyone living in the same household.
