Just signed up for 3rd Party Fire and Theft Car insurance with AAMI with 50% discount after hearing from my mate that he was offered the same. The AAMI representative told me over the phone that they have a promotion running which offers:

50% off AAMI 3rd Party Fire & Theft Car Insurancea
30% off 3rd Party Car Insurance

The rep told it's not declared on the Website. Seems to be silent promotion and only available over phone. Their contact number is 13 22 44.

Not sure how long this will run for so better to get it sooner than later.

I and my friend both signed so we are pretty sure it works. At least worked for us.

I would say give it a go and see if it works for you (my first deal post, so go easy on me :)). Moderator can take down the deal if it's not valid.

      I asked them for a quote and it’s way more expensive than others on comprehensive. When I told the rep I had other quotes for less he just said goodbye and hung up. Basically tried to price gouge me

        My renewal with AAMI was $150 higher then last year…more excess and less agreed value….

        When I did a new quote online it was $200 less then the renewal. When I spoke to them about it they had no idea.

        RACV was almost $400 higher, more excess, less agreed value and no windscreen.

          Last time I "renewed" with NRMA it was cheaper to get a "new" policy than to renew my existing one. So just let the original one lapse and signed up for a new one. They overlapped by two days to play it safe

        • Brick Tamland on 20/09/2020 - 10:30
          +2

          Youi is the worse. Their marketing spiel is compelling so I've found myself on the phone a few times with them but their quotes are easily double to triple than their competitors. Their phone manner is hardcore sales based and they push real hard for the sale. Some people like this technique, being sold to but I hate it, I don't even listen to what they are saying and all I can think of is how can I try to get off the phone

          My last call to them was even more ridiculous than the usual triple the premium estimate and the sales guy wanted me to measure the height of the tree on my nature strip. That is the last time I will try them haha.

          • iNeed2Pee on 20/09/2020 - 10:40

          +2

          I HATE YOUI!

          They market themselves as offering cheaper insurance because they ask more questions, but that's just to limit their cover.

          And there's no online quoting unless you call after 11pm or Sundays.

          You think you're getting an online quote, and then the mobile starts ringing. I was pissed off!
          I said "If I wanted to speak to someone I'd call you".
          His response was "it's just YOUI offering you better customer service"
          I was like "No… its YOUI using pressure sales tactics to close the deal and prevent me from comparing quotes online!!" then hung up!

          Once you go through their convoluted quote process, once you compare EXACT quote details with others like AAMI, YOUI are far more expensive!!

          Don't be tricked. YOUI are ripoff artists, and use lower agreed cover amounts (or even market value) to get that initial quote down. But once you start changing those sliders to equal other quotes, their price goes through the roof!

      • Karijini on 19/09/2020 - 20:08

        If anybody is paying YOUI for insurance and is reading this on ozbargain then they should start getting quotes elsewhere pronto!

          True they should get quotes elsewhere, but there are times when YOUI is very competitive and times when it isn’t at all, so it can make sense for some people.

          • UFO on 20/09/2020 - 13:24

            @mps41: Never have I had a quote from YOUI that's been competitive once you change their cover and excess amounts to be the same as others.
            It's like Budget Direct. Initial price given looks cheap, and until you look closer (well into the purchase phase).

            Crooks!!

      Every year I get a renewal quote emailed from AAMI & every year I call & they reduce it by $50-$90, just for asking. This year they offered 20% off because of Covid (I’m in Vic Metro) so it’s always worth calling AAMI.

      • iNeed2Pee on 20/09/2020 - 10:21

        20% off or you having to change the agreed value and excess as well to help that number go lower?

        Or did they give you the 20% off the renewal amount of your choice?

            Part of the reason I buy comprehensive insurance is because I can't be stuffed thinking about how much of a pain in the a** it would be to pursue someone in court for costs if they're at fault and don't have insurance. And even if I do successfully get an order for them to pay, I don't want to be receiving $50/week for the next 5 years because they can't afford to pay upfront for the damage they've caused.

            @yellowfever: The only problem is when an accident happens, an uninsured driver may be more tempted to do a runner because for insured driver it's $0 Vs say $650 excess but for uninsured it's $0 Vs $5,000 for moderate damage to another car. Insurance encourages people to be honest through the paradox of moral hazard - you cause the problem but someone else pays (the bulk of it).

      You should probably also cancel your home insurance since you'll be home most of the time and won't be robbed. Plus it hasn't happened yet so the chances are low.
      Also call your super company and cancel your life insurance as well, because you haven't died in how ever many years since you were born.

          What are you talking about? I'm saying not having any insurance at all while still driving, because the poster's (TanedaR) and OP's anecdotal evidence shows that he "doesn't have accidents" is not a clever idea.

            @Herbse: I'm saying that this statement "You should probably also cancel your home insurance since you'll be home most of the time and won't be robbed." is backed up by lower premiums from APIA for people who are retired and are home more often.

            Because they get robbed far less.

      Good move! I did the same thing. Got a $600 refund on my comp insurance at the beginning of COVID. Very happy I did cause the car had just sat there.

      Might jump on this AAMI 50% off though! The new car feel (it's a second hand car anyway) has worn off and I think I'm happy with 3rd party.

        Agree that there's not much driving at this time so little chance of accidents. Unless the car is parked on the street and someone comes along and sideswipes it or, worse, come out one day and the car is missing.

          Car sits in driveway inside the yard. Low chance anyone going to flog it and if they manage to drive into it, they won't be leaving fast. Sure, fire in not protected but if that happens the car will be the last of my worries. Very happy I cancelled my comp. insurance. Just put 12 months 3rd party on the car and still $280 in the pocket after this AAMI deal. I also don't see myself driving the car much until Christmas.

    What is the 50% discount on. Is it the online quote ?
    Did you call them up and ask for a 50 per discount or was it offered to you ?

      You need to call for an “over the phone” quote and ask for the 50% off promotion.

    Got $233 quote over the phone. Online price is over $450 for third party fire and theft.

    Woolworths is coming as $264 comprehensive after $100 gift card.

    Is $30 extra for comprehensive insurance with Woolies worth it? Not sure about claim experience with Woolies.

      What car do you drive/ how much is your car worth for your compressive to be $264?

      Or is Woolworths insurance really that cheap?

    If you are an existing customer, you need to call twice - once to cancel your current policy and again to get this deal.
