If you’re after flexible home and contents insurance cover with a range of generous features, then the Youi Home & Contents Insurance policy is definitely one to consider. The policy will cover you for everything from a range of major natural disasters, to theft and burglary.
Youi Home and Contents Insurance will provide cover not only for a variety of events like storms, fire and theft but also for a less likely natural disaster such as an earthquake. The policy even includes cover for any loss or damage caused by flooding, just as long as it’s not due to oceanic activity, rising damp or seepage of water from the ground.
What’s included under the building part of your policy:
This policy insures the structure of your home against disaster, but keep in mind, landscaping and building materials kept at your home (for example, all those expensive tiles you bought for a bathroom reno) aren’t covered. If your house is damaged due to one of these events, your policy also includes cover for the cost of emergency repairs and clean up fees (up to 20% of the sum insured).
If you’re unable to live in your house following damage to your home, the policy will also cover the costs for your temporary accommodation for up to 12 months (up to 12% of the sum insured) and up to $2,500 for pet accommodation.
What’s included under the contents part of your policy:
When it comes to everything in your house, Youi Home and Contents Insurance covers things like carpets, antiques and other valuable, cameras and personal medical equipment automatically. You can also opt to include cover for things like jewellery and work tools, thought remember it will bump your premium up.
If you work from home, it's important to note that home office equipment and any stock you’re storing at your home aren’t covered by this policy.
On top of all this, if you feel like there's something you want to protect that's not already included, then Youi allows you to tailor your policy to what you really need, with a range of optional extras including accidental loss and damage, business items and vet costs for the furry residents of the household.
While Youi Home and Contents insurance allows you to choose your excess level to help reduce your premium, keep in mind that if you want to pay your premium in monthly instalments, it will cost you extra. There is also no underinsurance cover with this policy, so make sure you value your home and everything in it correctly, or it’ll be money out of your pocket to cover the rest of the costs.
If you’re looking to bundle insurance for your home, contents and beyond with a flexible policy that allows you to pick and choose cover to keep costs down, then Youi Home and Contents Insurance just might be the pick for you.
While you can choose to pay your Youi Home and Contents Insurance premium in instalments, keep in mind it will cost you extra.

I like Youi as they try to help you and they understand your need of insuring your property so customer service is excellent. The only downside is when I needed to make a claim, I had to make two claims but at the end I decided to just replace it myself. It was my stove and tv that burned out by lightning.

This insurer insured all contents at home and away from home which was a real bonus as I am a full time event photographer and this coverage gives me peace of mind when on the go and out and about.

This insurer really checks how you use your property, any little differences, etc. We are rural and have things on the property that cost a lot more for coverage with other insurers. We are getting much better value for money and the customer service is excellent, regardless if its a quote, sale, query or claim. We have 3 other policies with Youi and all give us good value and the flexibility we want. The only slight negative would be that the basic excess can be a bit high and lowering it costs a bit.
