Getsafe

Getsafe is a Heidelberg-based digital insurance company that offers simple, app-based insurance products tailored to the needs of modern renters, young professionals, and expatriates living in Germany. With a strong focus on user experience and transparency, Getsafe has become one of the most recommended insurance providers in the expat community.

Getsafe’s core products include personal liability insurance (Haftpflichtversicherung), household contents insurance, legal protection, and life insurance — all available to set up, manage, and cancel directly in the Getsafe app. The sign-up process takes minutes and requires no German bureaucratic knowledge: policies are described in plain language, and customer support is available in English.

For expats arriving in Germany, personal liability insurance is particularly critical — it covers accidental damage caused to other people’s property or persons, and is expected by most landlords when signing a tenancy agreement. Getsafe makes this essential coverage as frictionless as possible to obtain.

The company has won multiple awards for customer service and innovation in the German insurtech space, and its Berlin and Heidelberg offices support a distributed team serving over 300,000 customers. For any expat setting up insurance in Germany for the first time, Getsafe should be among the first options considered.
