Finder's verdict
Our expert says
"Allianz and AAMI are pretty dependable insurers with solid coverage. AAMI has a few benefits with higher limits than Allianz but if you care about having a choice of repairer, Allianz would be a better fit. We also ran a few quotes and our research suggests AAMI is cheaper on average. Everyone's circumstances are slightly different so it's worth getting a quote from both to see who is best for you."
