What features might VIC drivers look for in their car insurance?

When it comes to car insurance in Victoria, it can be tricky to know what to look for to find the right level of cover for you.

To make sure you’re getting the most out of your cover and choosing a policy with inclusions that suit your needs, here are some features that might be worth considering.

  • Flexible payments
    We get that balancing the bank accounts can be tough. That’s why, with Youi, you can pay for your car insurance in one lump sum or over 12 monthly instalments. It might cost you a bit extra to pay monthly, but some people go with this option as it works better for their finances.3
  • New car replacement
    Who doesn’t love a new car? Maybe not so much if it gets written off. If your new car is a total loss within 2 years of it being first registered, we’ll replace it or pay you the replacement cost.4
  • Reduced excess for windscreens
    If your windscreen gets damaged on Victorian roads or on other roads around Australia, don’t stress. You may be able to opt for a reduced excess for claims that solely involve your windscreen, window glass and sunroof glass.5
  • Hire car following an incident
    No one wants their life to grind to a halt after their car’s been stolen or damaged in an accident where they weren’t at fault. That’s why certain Youi car insurance policies include a hire car for up to 14 days after some insured events.6
