Youi Comprehensive Car Insurance offers some great flexible features for a reasonable price. This 2020 Mozo Experts Choice Award winner offers protection in the event of theft, offering a rental car so you can get around for two weeks whilst your car is getting replaced. Better yet, if you’re within two years (and under 40,000km) of your purchase date, Youi will replace your car with a brand new set of wheels if it’s stolen or written off.
Youi Comprehensive Car Insurance goes all out to give you peace of mind that you’re covered in the event things go wrong. It offers the option of choosing your excess level, giving you flexibility to control your premium according to your budget. You’re also covered in the event of accidental and intentional damage, damage due to natural occurrences such as storms, earthquakes and floods, and fire damage.
Other features the policy comes with include roadside assistance and 24/7 claims service. And if you’re worried about the car’s contents, don’t fret, Youi has your personal property covered up to the value of $750, and offers reasonable replacement for additions to the car such as baby seats.
In the case of an emergency, Youi Comprehensive Car Insurance will cover reasonable towing costs, and when you’re more than 100km away from home, will give you up $1,000 for emergency accommodation or other travel arrangements.
Optional extras that come with Youi Comprehensive Car Insurance include a rental car after an accident, and trailer or caravan cover. If you’ve modified your car, there’s also the opportunity to cover those modifications for a price, but you’ll need approval from Youi first.
Youi Comprehensive Car Insurance is worth a look for those over 25 looking for great cover with the flexibility of choosing their own excess. And since some of the features are optional, it could be good if you want to opt out of things like trailer cover. As a bonus, if you’re eyeing off Contents Insurance as well, you could save 20% by bundling your Youi policies together.
If your younger friends or family are behind the wheel when something goes wrong, you could be hit with a hefty young driver excess that could climb as high as $2,000 for unlisted drivers under 25.
Another catch is that you won’t be rewarded for your safe driving with a no claims discount, which is something that other insurance companies may offer. Lastly, if monthly premiums better suit your budget, you could be stuck paying more for the option.

I have been insuring my vehicle with Youi for 2 years now and could not ask for better people to deal with. I had a Not at Fault Claim about a year ago and was without my car for over 6 weeks due to Christmas and New Years holiday season and the claims officer for Youi kept me informed and updated on the repair process.

No trust in this insurance company at all. I was with them for about a year and I received a renewal with a massive premium increase! I inquired about this increase. The response I got back was that I defaulted on my monthly payments. I informed the consultant that I paid annually and paid in full when I purchased my new vehicle. They seemed shocked and the story as to why my premium increased changed multiple times and they had incorrect information and stories that didn't add up multiple times. I asked them to review the issue and they told me there was nothing that could be done about the price increase and said 'sorry for the inconvenience, would you like to proceed?' To summarise, the whole experience seemed very sus and dishonest. I have spoken to numerous people about this issue and apparently it has happened to a lot of people with this company. Beware they might try this on you!
