Youi's comprehensive policy automatically includes roadside assistance. This is typically an optional extra for other car insurers, costing an additional $100 annually.
Its comprehensive policy offers thorough coverage. It was awarded the 2023 Finder Award for features because it covers more than other insurers but is still a comparatively affordable policy.
Our research found that Australians rated it as the best insurer for customer satisfaction. This was based on things like customer service, features and benefits, ease of application and value for money.
Cons
You'll have to speak with someone over the phone to buy a policy whereas other insurers offer an all online quoting and application portal.
Youi only covers the first 2 call-outs in a year, whereas standalone roadside assistance policies typically cover all call-outs.
There are currently no sign-up discounts. Other insurers offer up to 15% off for new policies/customers.
How does Youi compare with other car insurers?
As part of our 2023 car insurance awards, we compared 640 features and got over 1,000 quotes across 30+ comprehensive car insurance policies. Here's how Youi performed next to other insurers.

Finder Score for car insurance
We analyse over 100 car insurance products and rate each one on price and features. What we get out the other end is a nice round number between 1 and 10 to help you start comparing.
To make sure we're comparing apples with apples, we collect quotes for 8 different personas, then work out the value of 19 different car insurance features. Our team then does some fancy maths to get the Finder Score, taking both price and features into account.
Each year, our experts and insights team asks Australians to score their car insurance provider. As part of the Car Insurance Customer Satisfaction Awards for 2023, we asked over 5,700 Australians to rate their car insurer on value for money, features and benefits, ease of application and customer service. Of the 15+ insurers scored, these were the top 5. See our methodology for how each provider was scored.
"We've all seen the TV ads for Youi. A few years back I wanted to see if they'd put their money where their mouth was. Since being a Youi member I've enjoyed discounted fees each year, beating competitors without even asking for the quotes I had sourced. They've gone above and beyond for me in terms of value."
Youi covers modifications to improve your vehicle's performance or handling as long as you tell the insurer about them when you apply for cover. Examples of covered modifications and accessories include engine replacement, raised or lowered suspension, disability modifications and personalised plates.
Roadside assistance is automatically included in Youi's comprehensive car insurance policy. For third party policies, roadside assistance is not available.
You can choose to insure your car at market value (the replacement cost determined when loss or damage occurs) or agreed value (the amount that you nominate).

Hi Frank,
Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.
Youi’s comprehensive car insurance covers loss or damage to the car for insured events as well as your liability for any damage caused by the car to a third party’s property. Kindly contact them directly regarding your windscreen replacement as they do not offer free windscreen replacement but you may choose a reduced windscreen excess.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Jeni

Thank you for your feedback.
Our goal is to create the best possible product, and your thoughts, ideas and suggestions play a major role in helping us identify opportunities to improve.
Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
