Our verdict

As a winner of five Mozo People’s Choice Awards in 2024 for home insurance, including in the Outstanding Customer Satisfaction and Most Recommended categories, Youi’s Home & Contents insurance policy is a crowd favourite among Aussies. Taking a look under the hood makes it easy to see why.

This insurance policy provides coverage for a wide range of events that could cost you a lot of money to remedy, including fire damage, theft of your belongings, storms and flooding (excluding storm surges), earthquakes, and accidental breakage of glass. For the full range of Youi’s home and contents policy coverage, make sure you read through the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS). 

If your home is damaged by an insured event and becomes uninhabitable, Youi’s policy could cover the cost of temporary accommodation for you and your family for up to 12 months, up to 12% of the sum insured. 

For those with valuables, the contents portion of the policy covers a range of personal possessions including cameras, camera accessories, computers, computer software, and antiques. If you like shiny things, such as jewellery, you’ll have to pay for an optional extra cover to insure your watches, bracelets, rings, necklaces, and earrings, as these aren’t covered under the standard policy. 

Other optional extras you can use to make the policy yours include accidental loss or damage to your contents and jewellery, and/or for specific items, accidental damage to your home, cover for items stored in a commercial storage facility, business items, and even accidental injury caused to your pets. Of course, these optional extras will come with an extra cost.

One thing which is quite odd, yet charming about Youi’s coverage is that they’ll give you $200 if you hit a hole-in-one in an official golf club competition, or break an officially recognised international sporting award. It’s a cool easter-egg in their contents policy that, while I don’t think is all that relevant to most people, it shows that Youi likes to do things a little differently.

But it’s not only golfers who could get a cash bonus. If you or a member of your immediate family have twins, Youi will give you $100 per baby. An insurer paying out a baby bonus wasn’t on my bingo card, but I’m strangely impressed by it.

Does Youi home insurance cover termites?

Does Youi cover hail damage?

Yes. Hail is covered under a Youi home insurance policy, as part of the storm damage benefit. 

However, damage to your property caused by hail will not be covered if it entered your place through an open window or door, or an opening made for alterations, renovations, or repairs. If there’s a hole where the hail gets in due to another insured event, such as a storm damaged roof, then you may be covered. Check the policy’s PDS for full details.
