Assurance

How does AssistMe guarantee me compensation?

Close Icon thin cross
Even though we are new to the market, we are backed by a large international insurance company WR.Berkley. Berkley is a Fortune 500 company listed on the NY Stock Exchange. Berkley is the insurer for our insurance products that we provide to you who are a member of AssistMe. Berkley are ultimately responsible for and pay all claims costs. It can hardly be safer than that!

Service

What insurance does AssistMe offer?

Close Icon thin cross
Today, we only provide assistance-related insurance for vehicles. But we will continuously present new products that help people simplify their everyday lives.

Why do you donate surplus to charity?

Close Icon thin cross
Charity is an important building block in our business model and is deeply rooted in our DNA. Unlike traditional insurance companies, we use an new insurance model that completely lacks conflicts of interest between us. We only charge a fixed fee from the premium to cover our expenses and be able to further develop the service. The rest of the premium goes to paying for claims. When the year is over and we have not had to use all the compensation money, we donate the surplus to charity instead of maximizing our own profit. It is a model that creates benefits for you while we can help make our planet a better place.

Which suppliers do you work with?

Close Icon thin cross
We have carefully selected our partners, who we know for sure deliver according to our high service and quality requirements. That is why we have chosen to work together with leading nationwide partners on the Swedish market. But we also have access to several thousand other suppliers who can secure your quick help throughout Europe.

Can I order assistance if I do not have your insurance?

Close Icon thin cross
No. To be able to use our digital assistance service in the app, you must have a valid insurance with us or with a partner to be able to get help.

Why do you only offer payment by card?

Close Icon thin cross
Receiving payment by credit cards makes our payment process much easier to handle and at the same time you get expenses collected on one invoice. In the future, we will be able to offer other digital payment methods.

Why can I only buy your insurance in the app?

Close Icon thin cross
Our goal is to make insurance more easy to understand and easily accessible to buy, manage and use. That's why we have chosen to make it very easy by collecting everything in one place, in your mobile phone through the AssistMe app.

Why should I have AssistMe when I already have access to assistance through another insurance?

Close Icon thin cross
Assistance and insurance is a very broad concept with varying content, limitations, service levels and deductibles. That is exactly why we created AssistMe, with the goal of making it much easier and safer for people in acute situations - for an affordable cost per month. In an emergency situation, you should not have to think about which vehicle you are traveling in, what breakdown you have suffered or where you are. Without the push of a button in the AssistMe app, it's enough to get everything fixed, without a lot of hassle and expensive surprises.

Insurance

What is meant by person-based insurance?

Close Icon thin cross
Person-based insurance is an insurance that applies to you as a person and not only to a specific object that is the most common form of insurance for vehicles. The advantage of a personal insurance is that regardless of whether it is an object you own, borrow or rent, the insurance applies when you personally have a breakdown. You can therefore always feel completely safe in receiving the help from AssistMe.

What is the difference between pre-purchase information and full terms and conditions?

Close Icon thin cross
Pre-purchase information is a more concise version of the contents of an insurance policy, while complete terms and conditions contain all information about the insurance. It is important that you read the terms and conditions when you buy a product, so that you know what you can expect when you need to use it.

What is meant by qualifying time?

Close Icon thin cross
Qualifying period is the time between the date of purchase and the date when the insurance begins to give the right to compensation. During the qualifying period, no compensation is therefore given if you need to use the insurance.

In order not to create confusion or question marks as to whether the insurance provides compensation or not, we have in the app made it possible to only select a start date on the insurance after the qualifying period has passed. This means that the insurance then provides compensation directly from the start date of the insurance and we can avoid misunderstandings.

How do you protect yourself against fraud?

Close Icon thin cross
Our modern digital platform uses AI which enables us to detect scams in no time. Our policy is to report all attempts at insurance fraud to the police.

How do I switch to your assistance insurance?

Close Icon thin cross
It is easy. When you want to switch to us, you should first check the due date of the other insurance. Then sign up with us with the same start date as the due date, so you do not have to be unprotected for a period. Then you can cancel the other insurance on due date. If you need help, just contact our support..

Why does a vehicle need at least "Halv Försäkring" to be covered by AssistMe?

Close Icon thin cross
It is only for us to be able to keep premiums down to a reasonable level. Statistically speaking, a vehicle that is only "Trafik försäkrad" has a significantly increased risk of breakdowns than vehicles with at least "Halv försäkring"

How does it work if I change vehicles?

Close Icon thin cross
Since our insurances are personbased, you do not have to think about anything, as long as the vehicle you change to is of the same vehicle class for what the insurance cover.

How do I cancel my insurance?

Close Icon thin cross
You cancel an insurance by clicking on the green switch on your insurance.

If you change your mind during the notice period, if there is any, you can make it fully active again by switching it on again on the "switch".

Insurances you take out per day can not be canceled, but they instead end automatically when the insurance period ends. However, you can extend the insurance while it is active, if you need to be insured for a few extra days.

If you have any questions, you can always contact Team AssistMe directly in the app.

What is a Green Card?

Close Icon thin cross
When you are abroad with a Swedish-registered vehicle, the compulsory motor insurance covers your liability as a driver / owner for damage that the vehicle may cause. Green card is proof that there is a traffic insurance on the car, because in some countries you still require that you have a physical certificate, a Green Card to enter the country. Read more about how it works and in which countries are included in Green card at TFF (Trafikförsäkringsföreningen) tff.se
