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.

        How were you able to get this on a vehicle that is currently insured with AAMI? I tried doing this and they refused to offer me the 50% promotion because it’s not applicable on vehicles insured (in the past and present) with AAMI.

        • [Deactivated] on 20/09/2020 - 17:08

    I was with AAMI they increased premium by10% after 1 year, moved to GIO and saved 25$/m for comprehensive insurance.

  • Murpha on 20/09/2020 - 01:21

    AAMI and GIO (same parent company) are terrible. If I get an anonymous quote for the house number either side of me, it is hundreds of dollars cheaper. As soon as I enter my house number it goes up. I'm with them, so I think they must do a reverse lookup using the details entered on the quote and make the assumption that it is me. I've never claimed and haven't had anyone claim against me, so I don't see the reason for this. Would be interested if any other existing AAMI or GIO customers notice this.

    • dealhunting007 on 20/09/2020 - 01:25
      +1

      Yes i had same issue which I flagged with AAMI that. How come ur calculator gives me v cheap rate for next door number but not mine. And he was like may be that property you are in had claimed in past etc, we have some background data to make decisions. Both were brand nee properties, never had claimed anything ever in life. Tested with other companies and their premium remain the same for any address in street.

      So i left Aami found $25/m cheaper quote from GIO and moved with them.

      • Murpha on 20/09/2020 - 18:36

        Yep. Glad I'm not the only one to notice this, but disgusted by their tactics. I get they do the '10%' online discount, but the difference in premium is always much higher than that. It seems they lure you in with a reasonable premium, then hike it up year on year. Your info is stored in the system, so even an anonymous quote is higher. You'll probably find GIO will pull the same stunt.

    • Sch3nck on 20/09/2020 - 02:50
      +2

      I had the exact same issue .. I was with GIO .. if I use the address for next unit on the same block of land I get a much cheaper discount .. once again no claims in the last 10 years .. when I asked GIO for an explanation they said we don't know it's the system that calculates .. what a load of bs .. needless to say I cancelled my insurance with them

      • Murpha on 20/09/2020 - 18:41

        They know well and truly why the system does it, but they'll just make up an excuse. I have a two cars of the exact same make and model, but 18 months apart. I called GIO for a quote on the newer car and it was $500 more expensive! RedBook value is the same. I asked them why this was and they just gave BS excuses…

      • Skinnerr on 29/09/2020 - 10:14

        Ah yes - the ghost in the 'system' 👻

    • kerfuffle on 20/09/2020 - 06:38
      +1

      Same issue with NRMA. Next door which is a corner block is cheaper, probably because unlike my house, no one uses their driveway to do U-turns. House diagonally opposite mine (corner block but U-turn friendly) is more expensive than my address …

      • Murpha on 20/09/2020 - 18:43

        I live on a straight, through road and everyone has a driveway to park off the street, yet the premium hikes hundreds of dollars between my address and a neighbours!

        • kerfuffle on 20/09/2020 - 19:58

          Same, but people will use my driveway more than next door neighbour's because of where it's located as you turn into the street

    • bazingaa on 16/12/2020 - 00:18

      same for me, I asked the reason for this but they said they can't disclose it.

  • ATTS on 20/09/2020 - 07:50

    what if your already with AAMI for third party, can you get a 30% refund?

  • crazyboy on 20/09/2020 - 08:50

    Just did a quote, its $600 for TPP. So will be $300 after discount right if I call them?

    • moojuice on 20/09/2020 - 09:06

      Yep my online quote was $575 and over the phone was $293, slight discrepancy but wasn't bothered.

      • crazyboy on 20/09/2020 - 20:52

        Ok great.

  • moojuice on 20/09/2020 - 09:03

    Very nice offer just signed up and it took about 20 mins. AAMI TPP also covers yourself up to $5k if an uninsured driver causes damage to you and you're not at fault. Worked out a lot cheaper than even the budget options, bingle, budget direct etc.

  • Windows7forever on 20/09/2020 - 09:16

    Thank you. I just exercised my right to cancel with WW insurance during the 14 day cooling off period and switched to AAMI. Saved me $70.

  • rileygia on 20/09/2020 - 09:25

    It’s worth noting AAMI covers up to $5000 if the accident is the fault of an uninsured driver - but this does NOT apply if the driver has insurance and refuses to make a claim. I had the unfortunate circumstance of dealing with this kind of person myself despite being able to prove on camera it was their fault. AAMI refused to assist or except this instance. It was very disappointing but technically that is what the policy says.

    • Ash-Say on 20/09/2020 - 09:28

      If other party is at fault and insured, how can Aami can refuse to pursue it?

      Did you lodge AFCA complaint?

      • atomX on 20/09/2020 - 09:48

        Because they only provide cover against uninsured drivers.

      • rileygia on 20/09/2020 - 10:22

        Yes it only covers uninsured drivers as they state. You'd think covering someone refusing to make a claim is in the spirit of the policy but they wouldn't budge

        Did not make a formal complaint

  • HelpMeiCantSee on 20/09/2020 - 11:22

    Nrma had fire and theft for 120 a year a while ago. Was 1/3 of the third party property I had from AAMI. So I have my 2 low value cars with them now!

    • crazyboy on 22/09/2020 - 16:07

      NRMA will be back to normal price after this $120/year ends.

      • HelpMeiCantSee on 24/09/2020 - 09:34

        And the I’ll either go back to third party only, or find someone cheaper. It’d likely be the same story with OP’s AAMI deal too.

        • crazyboy on 24/09/2020 - 09:41

          Yes its fun to change providers every year. You save a lot of money. I remember being ripped off by NRMA for 2 years for CTP. Changed to AAMI and saved $200 in a year. Next year maybe change to the one which is cheapest.

          Same for Third Party Insurance. Now with Woolies its $472 (but got $100 worth of woolies shopping), makes it $372 for me.

          Not switching for third party until I finish this Woolies in March 2021 or I get a really great deal.

    Just called AAMI about my exisiting 3rd party party insurance where i was paying ~$50 a month. Did a comparison quote with Australian Unity which came out to $27 a month. AAMI wouldn't match or reduce so i cancelled and signed up with Australian Unity.

  • stoffo on 20/09/2020 - 15:43
    +2

    Cheers OP, just took up the offer. Paid $174 for 3rd Party Property only with Budget Direct a couple of months ago, so have canceled that one now. Quote for 3PP + Fire & Theft was $191 after the discount with AAMI. So in effect paid $17 extra for the year to be covered for fire/theft. Worth noting though is that coverage amount for me is only $10,000, which is $2,800 less than what my car is worth (from book value), so as I understand it, if my car is destroyed by fire or stolen, I would receive the $10,000 (after I paid my standard excess of $695) therefore would not be able to replace my car like for like without paying a fair bit more money myself. Still, for $17 extra cost to me, it's a good deal.

    • Skinnerr on 29/09/2020 - 10:26

      Insurance companies never pay the full value of the car unless you pay up in premiums.

    • Homr on 02/11/2020 - 17:39

      How is yours so cheap at $191? Mine was $345

      • stoffo on 04/11/2020 - 08:15

        My understanding is premiums are worked out on factors such as value of the car, how often it is being driven and by who, where it is parked (the area, whether it's covered or not etc). So for me I am a mature driver driving a cheap car that I don't use much and I live in a pretty low crime area hence lower premium.

  • lordra on 20/09/2020 - 22:19

    I don't quite understand the excitement about this. I have a car valued at about $9,000; 7 years old. I pay $850 for fully comp annually. This policy from aami will not replace my car if it gets busted.
    Am I looking at insurance the wrong way?

    • Ender Wiggin on 20/09/2020 - 22:44
      +1

      You are paying $730 annually for your car replacement insurance, so 730 gets you maximum return of 9K, with 3rd party you are getting x million in cover for 120 bucks.

      • lordra on 21/09/2020 - 21:52
        +1

        Yes but your car isn't covered. So if something was to happen, looking at your losses, you lost your $10k car!

    • Brick50 on 21/09/2020 - 12:18

      Being younger comprehensive insurance on my 2 cars is about $1000-$2000 a car each year.
      Both were insured third party property only around $250 a year each.
      Now i'm covered for fire and theft as well and only $200 a car.

      Paying $2000-$4000 a year for comprehensive doesn't make sense as each car is only worth 7-10k each

      • Skinnerr on 29/09/2020 - 10:28

        Yep. When you're younger you're better off putting that money into the bank, making do with 3rd party and using that money if you ever need to fix it yourself.

    Thank you OP - saved heaps of money on this.
    Original quote online was for $626, was close to 50% off with the new quote coming in at $322. Super happy.

    I originally had a comprehensive policy that was in its extension period for renewal - luckily one call sorted it all out. The rep was great - cancelled my comprehensive policy and carried over all its details towards the new 3rd Party Fire & Theft policy.

    Also ask em' to play around with the car coverage values - it was $2 more for me to have my car covered for a value of $8000, from $6800.

    Depending on the rep you get, as previously mentioned by someone else in the thread, you may have to call twice - to cancel your existing policy, and to purchase a new policy

    • [Deactivated] on 23/09/2020 - 19:38

    I've paid QBE $275 for the entire year. Aami wants $660. So then $330 for both. But I'm already paying for fully comp with Budget Direct. So not really worth the hassle for me, IMO. Well done to everyone who got a good deal with this.

    Just signed up this evening. Quite expensive really if it wasn't for the 50% discount. TPP including fire and theft cost me $690 so $345 after discount.

    You don't need to be a non existing member for 12 month, when I called up they actually noticed I had an old insurance policy that expired a few days ago and they just copied all the details from that.

    Last year my premium was $595 for full compo but had the maximum excess of around $2900
