Adliswil – After the heavy thunderstorm in the Bern region, Generali is opening a drive-in to provide fast service for hail-damaged vehicles. Customers can have their vehicle damage inspected and seek advice on any necessary repairs. Generali offers snacks and refreshments while you wait. Those affected will receive a repair recommendation or compensation offer. The experts suggest the best, most environmentally friendly and most cost-effective way to repair the damage. The drive-in in Worben BE will be open daily from 20-23 August from 08.00-17.30.
Generali promises that no insurance customer will leave the drive-in without knowing the cost of the damage to their vehicle and the next steps to take. Customers can, of course, also opt to have the cost of the damage paid out. In this case, they will receive a compensation offer, and payment will be issued there and then at the drive-in. Appointments can also be made directly with our repair partners.
Drive-in fully booked / online claims notification in just a few minutes
Customers from the Bern region were informed about the drive-in by Generali shortly after the storm. The drive-in is now fully booked. Anyone affected by hail damage is asked to report their claim to Generali as usual, quickly and easily via the Generali website or by phone on 0800 82 84 86.

Following the tips above should help avoid or mitigate many types of damage. However, Generali emphasises that the safety of people is the top priority and should always be ensured first.
