What cover options does Youi offer?

• Comprehensive. Designed to offer ultimate peace of mind, Youi Comprehensive Car Insurance offers cover for a wide range of insured events and is also available with several optional extras to allow you to increase your level of cover. Other benefits include legal liability cover, cover for additions to the car and also the option to cover contents stored in your vehicle.
• Third Party Fire and Theft. More affordable than a Comprehensive car insurance policy, Third Party Fire and Theft Car Insurance from Youi is a mid-range policy option that provides a reasonably broad range of cover to suit a wide range of budgets. It provides $20,000,000 of legal liability cover if your car causes damage to someone else's property, and also offers protection against damage caused by risks such as fire and theft. Other benefits, such as cover for towing costs and the option to cover contents inside your vehicle, are also provided.
• Third Party Property Only. This entry-level policy provides basic cover for those who only want insurance for the essentials. It provides $20,000,000 legal liability cover if your car causes damage to someone else's property, while your temporary replacement vehicle is covered for a limited time after you trade in your first car. Cover is also included if you ever find yourself in the unfortunate situation where an uninsured driver causes accidental damage to your vehicle.

What affects the cost of my premiums?

The cost of your premium can be influenced by a range of factors, including:

• The make, model and age of the car. A high-powered, luxury sports car will obviously cost more to insure than a zippy little runabout.
• What the car is used for. How often your car is driven and where will be taken into account.
• The address where you park the car. Your car could be more at risk of suffering loss or damage in certain areas, for example, theft or storm damage.
• Security where you park the car. Cars kept in secure, locked garages overnight are cheaper to cover than vehicles which are left parked on the street.
• The age, driving history and claims experience of all drivers. These factors will be considered to determine the likelihood of you making a claim.
• Any extra benefits you include. Available options include a hire car for other insured events, as well as cover for business Items and choice of repairer.
• The payment method you choose. Contact Youi for information on the most affordable way to pay your Car Insurance premiums.
• Admin costs, taxes and government charges. Check with the insurer for details about the additional fees and charges that may apply in your state or territory.
• The excess you choose. If you select a higher excess you will receive a lower premium.

What excess will I need to pay?

You'll need to pay an excess whenever you make a claim under your Youi Car Insurance policy. A basic excess is payable for each and every claim you make, and you may be given the option of selecting your excess amount (which will also affect the cost of premiums).

You may also need to pay an additional excess in certain circumstances, which are detailed on your policy schedule, or if your claim arises because your vehicle was being driven by someone not listed on your insurance policy.

Finally, Youi also offers the option of paying an extra premium to reduce the excess payable on claims for windscreen damage.

How can I save on my Youi car insurance policy?

• Provide details. Youi aims to differentiate itself from other insurers by asking more questions when you apply for cover. This allows it to offer insurance tailored to suit your needs, which means you will only pay for the insurance protection you need.
• Choose a higher excess. This will, in turn, lead to more affordable car insurance premiums.
• Choose a lower level of cover. If you don't want the high level of cover offered by Comprehensive Car Insurance, you can save money by choosing a lower level of cover.
• Minimise your options. Adding extra benefits to your policy will increase your premium.

How do I make a claim?

If you need to make a claim under your Youi policy, keep in mind that each claim can only relate to one incident. It's essential that you remember to take all reasonable steps in order to minimise and prevent any loss or damage, while you must also allow the insurer to inspect any damaged goods or property for which you are lodging a claim.

Questions you still might have

Does Youi also insure motorcycles?

Yes. Youi's Comprehensive, Third Party Fire and Theft, and Third Party Property Only policies are all offered to motorcycle riders.

Are my mods and accessories covered?

Youi covers modifications to improve your vehicle's performance or handling as long as you tell the insurer about them when you apply for cover. Examples of covered modifications and accessories include engine replacement, raised or lowered suspension, disability modifications and personalised plates.

Does Youi also offer roadside assistance?

How much will my car be insured for?

You can choose to insure your car at market value (the replacement cost determined when loss or damage occurs) or agreed value (the amount that you nominate).
