Information about indicative premium ranges and comparisons

When we display the indicative Comprehensive premium range for a car make and model, or offer a comparison of how a model’s annual premium compares to Youi premiums for all models for that car brand, we adopt some important guidelines:

The information displayed is based on Youi internal data for Comprehensive policies sold for the make and model between 30 Nov 2022 and 31 May 2023.
To improve how useful our data is, we only calculate our average comparisons on models where Youi data is available on at least 10 sold Comprehensive policies for that model.
As you would expect, we get some higher or lower premiums based on different risk ratings, so the indicative range does not represent all Youi customers. 80% of applicable Comprehensive car premiums purchased by our customers fell within or below the indicative premium range shown.
Premiums and offers to insure are subject to rating & underwriting, and your own individual circumstances.

What might impact my BMW insurance costs?

Many different factors may affect your BMW insurance cost, including your age, location, car model and level of coverage. When you start a quote with Youi, we’ll do the maths and leave the driving to you!

Your age and driving history

How old you are, and how long you’ve been driving, is taken into consideration and can have an effect on how much you’ll pay for your insurance premiums. In addition to age and experience, your driving history is also considered.

The model of your BMW

Car insurance premiums are calculated based on what it would cost to repair or replace your vehicle. Therefore, pricier BMWs with higher-end features are likely to incur higher premiums.

Suburb where car is kept

Your location plays a significant role in how car insurance is priced. The crime rate in each suburb is a factor: if your car is parked in a suburb where there are high incidents of vandalism and theft, your insurance will tend to be higher compared with a safer suburb.

Level of cover

We offer a range of different options so you can choose the right level cover to suit your BMW insurance needs. With our Third Party Property Only option, if you’re involved in an incident and are at fault, your policy will generally only cover damage to the other person’s car or property. Alternatively, our Comprehensive car insurance option includes loss or damage to your car for insured events, as well as damage your car causes to a third party’s car or property.

How we calculate these numbers

‘Excess’ refers to the amount of money you’ll need to pay if you make a claim that’s accepted by your insurer. If you’re fine with paying a large amount of excess (in the event that you have to make a claim), your annual insurance premium is likely to be lower. Excess is payable once your insurance company accepts your claim.

The cost of your insurance will depend on a number of factors, including how expensive it is to repair or replace your vehicle. With Youi, average annual insurance premiums for Honda cars tend to be less expensive when compared with the average cost of BMW insurance.
