FAQs

The main difference between both third party car insurance options comes down to what happens to your own car.

Third Party Property Only won’t cover your car if it’s stolen or damaged by fire.
Third Party Fire & Theft does.

Both policies include legal liability – that means if your car causes damage to someone else’s vehicle or property, you’re insured for it.

Heads up – neither policy includes cover for injuries to people. That’s what Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance is for. Depending on where you live, CTP is either included with your car registration or purchased separately through a private insurer or state government.

Yes – Third Party Fire & Theft can cover both attempted break-ins and theft of personal items under certain conditions.

With Youi Third Party Fire & Theft car insurance:

You’re covered for damage caused by an attempted break-in
You're covered if your car is stolen
You may also be covered for stolen or damaged personal items as a result of an insured event – up to $150 per item, capped at $750 per claim²

Conditions may apply – so it’s worth reading the car insurance PDS for the full details.

Third Party Fire & Theft car insurance is calculated based on a range of factors that help insurers assess risk – there's no fixed cost. Here are some of the key things that might impact the cost of your premium:

Your age – young drivers (under 25) typically pay more due to higher risk profiles
Your car – the make, model, year, condition and even colour of your car can influence your premium
Where you live – postcodes with higher rates of theft or accidents might increase your premium. Safer areas could help reduce it
Where you park – garaged or secure parking is usually cheaper than street parking
Your driving history – past accidents or licence suspensions might increase your premium – even if no claims were made
Demerit points – more demerit points means higher risk, which could mean a higher premium
Your insurance history – a clean history with previous insurers might help lower your premium, while past claims could increase your premium

Each insurer weighs these factors differently – so premiums can vary even for the same driver and car.

Yes – you can choose your basic excess from a range of amounts when you take out a Third Party Fire & Theft policy with Youi. Other types of excess, such as reduced basic excess for windscreen claims, additional excess and driver specific excess are fixed amounts that will be listed on your policy schedule if they apply to you. This is the amount you’ll pay each and every time you claim.

For more on how excess works, check the PDS.

Learner drivers are covered under a Youi Third Party Fire & Theft policy – as long as they follow the licence and supervision rules in their state or territory.

To make sure everything’s above board:

List any learner drivers – or regular drivers – on your policy
If a learner driver isn’t listed and they’re involved in an incident, extra excesses may apply – and in some cases, it could impact your cover

Not sure if your learner is listed? It’s worth double-checking your policy details or giving us a call.
