What matters on the day you buy
- The day you buyContract signed, ownership has passed.
- Without delayYou need your own KGFB: the seller’s does not cover you.
- Within 15 daysBoth seller and buyer report the change of owner to the authority.
- Your own KGFB: without delay after ownership passes. Only one policy can be valid for a vehicle and period, so the seller’s does not cover you.
- Registration: the change of ownership must be reported to the transport authority within 15 days, by both seller and buyer.
- The sale contract: keep it at hand. With the registration certificate it is often all we need.
Your no-claims class (bonus-malus)
It belongs to the registered keeper, not the car.
| Situation | What to expect |
|---|---|
| You sold the old car, buy a new one within 2 years | your class transfers (same vehicle category) |
| You keep the old car and add the new one | the new one starts from A00 |
| You later sell the better-rated car | its class can move to the remaining one within 2 years |
| The old policy ended for non-payment | its class does not transfer |
