Pros

  • It still has decent coverage, removing the need for additional roadside assistance for many people.
  • It's convenient to have your car insurance and your roadside assistance all in the one policy.

Cons

How Youi Roadside Assistance works

Youi Roadside Assistance is included with your car or motorcycle comprehensive insurance. This means you don't need to do anything to activate the roadside assistance, aside from paying your insurance premium. You also don't need to 'add' it or 'opt in' to it on your policy, it'll be included as standard. There is no option to not include it in exchange for a cheaper premium.

You'll have access to two callouts per year, and if you need more, you'll just need to pay a fee.

Need to hold a car policy?* refers to whether or not you must hold a car insurance policy with the provider before you have access to their roadside assistance services. We've included this because some roadside assistance policies are standalone, others are only available as add-ons to car insurance policies.
Pricing is accurate as of February 2025.

Sarah's experience with Youi Roadside Assistance

"When I took out my Youi comprehensive car insurance I was able to cancel my RACQ roadside assist membership at the same time, because this covered me. I saved over $100 on my membership and when I've called for roadside assist (twice so far!), the wait time was quick and the service was excellent."

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.
