Hi Diana,
If you’ve paid for a year’s worth of insurance, then you can look into canceling your policy with the insurer and get a refund. The insurer should just charge you for the month(s) you were with them, and then refund the rest.
As for the unused portion of your registration including CTP, depending on your state, the insurer will take off the remaining value of your unused registration and CTP insurance from your payout. You can recover your unutilized CTP from your CTP insurer and obtain a refund for your unused registration from your state’s Roads or Transport Authority.
Feel free to visit Finder’s guide for cars written off for more details.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
James
Do your company charge a admistration fee?
Hi Tjohn,
Thanks for getting in touch! Fees depend on the type of policy you have or will have with AAMI. There are no additional admin fees when you apply for car insurance. The premium that you receive is the total price. However, if you choose to pay by monthly installments it does cost more. It is approx 12-15 % more to pay monthly. If you’d like to get a quote with AAMI, you may visit their website and get an online quote. You can also reach out tot her chat service team for real-time assistance on your application.
Hope this helps and feel free to reach out to us again for further assistance.
Best,
Nikki
if car is damaged in the accident, the front end + has damaged the windscreen and I have compare cover but no windscreen cover do i pay extra or is it covered in the whole fix ?
Hi Pam,
Thank you for your question.
You have contacted finder.com.au, a comparison and information service and not actually an AAMI Car Insurance.
You will need to contact AAMI Car Insurance about this matter.
Cheers,

hi i have a full comp car ins policy with aami and pay monthly , if i write the car off during that 12 months do i have to pay all off the 12 month cost of ins
Hi Niall,
Thanks for getting in touch. If you no longer have your car (in this case if it was written off) you would be able to cancel your policy.
Cheers,

HI,
If I get a 12 month cover for $700 and after one or two month, I want to cancel my insurance. How much cancellation fee would be charged?
Hi Ozman,
Thank you for your enquiry.
According to the PDS of AAMI Comprehensive Car Insurance, The amount of the cancellation fee is $30 (plus (if applicable) FSL plus GST plus stamp duty) for each car insured on the policy.
The cancellation fee is deducted from any refund that AAMI will send you. If the refund is less than the fee, a refund will not be issued and AAMI will not charge you an additional amount to cover the difference.
