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.
  • Youi are usually happy to negotiate on price if you talk to them on the phone.
  • 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.

    Finder Score for car insurance

    We analyse over 30 car insurance products across insurance providers, and rate each one for price and features. We collect up to 36 quotes per product, for male and female drivers in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia. Quotes are collected for 20 year olds, 30 year olds and 60 year olds, assuming an excess of $850 for a 2020 Toyota Corolla 4 door sedan model, with an average 15,000 kms driven each year. We use your responses to our quiz to pair you with the closest price profile and while we are not allowed to display actual quotes, our price score aims to serve as an indicative guide to how cost competitive a product might be for you.

    Our feature score assesses each product for more than 15 features across loss and damage coverage, repairs and assistance coverage, personal items coverage and policy coverage. Features we assess include but are not limited to legal liability, essential repairs, new car replacement, car hire events, roadside assistance, agreed or market value, windscreen damage and natural disaster coverage.

    Depending on your answers to our car insurance quiz, we upweight the relevant price score or feature score to generate a dynamic Finder Score (80% weighting on the primary selection between Price or Feature). Finder Score, Price Score and Feature Score are only to be used as indicative guides and are not product recommendations.

    "We've all seen the TV ads for Youi. A few years back I wanted to see if they'd put their money where their mouth was. Since being a Youi member I've enjoyed discounted fees each year, beating competitors without even asking for the quotes I had sourced. They've gone above and beyond for me in terms of value."

      Is windscreen replacement covered by car comprehensive insurance?

        Default GravatarFinder

        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
