Our verdict

Pros

  • Youi's comprehensive policy automatically includes roadside assistance. This is typically an optional extra for other car insurers, costing an additional $100 annually.
  • Its comprehensive policy offers thorough coverage. It was awarded the 2023 Finder Award for features because it covers more than other insurers but is still a comparatively affordable policy.
  • Our research found that Australians rated it as the best insurer for customer satisfaction. This was based on things like customer service, features and benefits, ease of application and value for money.

Cons

  • You'll have to speak with someone over the phone to buy a policy whereas other insurers offer an all online quoting and application portal.
  • Youi only covers the first 2 call-outs in a year, whereas standalone roadside assistance policies typically cover all call-outs.
  • There are currently no sign-up discounts. Other insurers offer up to 15% off for new policies/customers.

    Is windscreen replacement covered by car comprehensive insurance?

      AvatarFinder
      JeniSeptember 22, 2019Finder

      Hi Frank,

      Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.

      Youi’s comprehensive car insurance covers loss or damage to the car for insured events as well as your liability for any damage caused by the car to a third party’s property. Kindly contact them directly regarding your windscreen replacement as they do not offer free windscreen replacement but you may choose a reduced windscreen excess.

      I hope this helps.

      Thank you and have a wonderful day!

      Cheers,
      Jeni

      Hi Jeff,

      Thanks for your message and for visiting finder – the leading comparison website & general information service built to give you advice in your buying decision needs. How are you doing today?

      While we can provide you with general information, please note that we’re a product comparison website and we do not represent any company we feature on our site. We don’t have any access to the quotes/fees of car insurance. We’re here to assist you in your buying decision process hence we cannot recommend product / service that is rightfully fit for you.

      You may contact the insurance provider to give you the cheapest price. :)

      Hope this clarifies! Feel free to message us should you have any questions.

      Thanks,
      Nikki
