How much is it going to cost me?
There are several factors that influence the cost of your Youi Motorcycle Insurance premium, including:
- The make, model and age of your motorcycle
- What your motorcycle is used for, for example private or business use
- The age, driving and riding experience of any insured rider
- The claims history of any insured rider
- The value of any extra options you decide to add on to your policy
- Your choice of payment method
- Any administration costs, taxes and other government charges
What excess will I be charged?
You’ll need to pay an excess for each and every claim you make on your Youi Motorcycle Insurance policy. The excess you will pay will be the basic excess plus any additional excesses that apply to your policy.
The basic excess applies to every claim and will be shown on your policy schedule. However, if the insured event is the fault of a third party whom can be identified, your basic excess payment may be waived.
There are other options that can affect the amount of excess you pay, including:
- Reduced basic excess for windshield claims. You may be able to pay an extra premium to reduce the basic excess you’ll need to pay for claims that solely involve your windshield.
- Youi Assist basic excess. No excess applies to the first two claims you make under the You Assist roadside assistance benefit.
- Additional excess. Any circumstances where you may need to pay an additional excess will be shown on your policy schedule.
- Unlisted rider excess. This excess is payable when you make a claim for an insured event where your motorcycle was ridden with your permission by someone not listed on your policy schedule.
How do I make a claim with Youi for my motorbike?
If you wish to make a claim on your Youi Motorcycle Insurance policy, take note that you’ll need to make a separate claim for each incident. You can notify Youi of your claim as soon as possible by filling out an online form or phoning the insurer direct.
There are also a few simple steps you can take to ensure that your claim is paid promptly and in full, including:
- Taking all reasonable steps to prevent or reduce loss or damage, even after an insured event.
- If you’re the victim of theft, attempted theft or intentional damage, report the matter to the police and obtain a written copy of the incident report.
- Allow Youi to view and inspect any damaged goods or property you are claiming for.
- Don’t leave the scene of an accident until you are lawfully allowed to do so.
- Provide any information or documents the insurer requests in order to assess your claim.
