Awesome customer service experience

published

After 13 continuous years of insurance with another provider I’ve now swapped to Youi based on the customer experience and comparable price. Great customer service / awesome sales advisor experience. Will be recommending Youi to friends and family.

HAPPY CUSTOMER

Easy to set up. Good customer service given. I refer others to try Youi. Very competitive with their rates. All my questions were answered. I am covered by a policy that suits me now and can easily be adapted later.

Relieved to be covered after an oversight on my part

published

I have now had the policy for a day and breath a sight of relief to be covered by a policy I hope I won't have to use. I was helped by a two different customer servicee people who were very helpful and patient with my questions. All was mailed to me but I did not see until I left a message and noticed Dani had already completed all yesterday. Thank you

Youi, we get you! Well you lost me

published

Was looking for house insurance, after about 10min spend in Q and another 5 wasted with the operator, to get told that they can't cover me because... I'm to close to the "sea". Closest beach or creek is 7km away according to google maps (WTH?)

Contents Insurance

published

I have been a YOUI customer for quite a while now with various policies. I had changed my contents insurance to another provider a few years ago because they were cheaper. I received my yearly renewal and found it had increased by roughly $140pa from last year so decided to see what YOUI would cost. From beginning to end of the phone conversation ie from quote to acceptance the YOUI consultant, Ruth was amazingly helpful and knowledgeable. Very happy to have all my policies in the one place and bonus saving roughly $300 a year.

Fraud! Refuses Storm damaging by citing poor workmanship on a council approved property

published

Do not take insurance with YOUI. They do not cover natural calamities and try to refuse your claim by citing poor workmanship, even though its caused by storm. They do not make you aware at the time of selling you the policy. If you dispute the claim citing incorrect reason, they find a new reason to reject your claim. In the end, they simply want to refuse your claim.

Terrible Insurers

published

I have over 7 policies with Youi costing around $6500 per year. Our house had water coming through the walls, roof & floors in the recent storms. This caused all sorts of damage. The Youi assessor came out and said we have an old house that doesn't meet up with todays building standards. The pitch of the roof is wrong etc. I wonder if it burnt down whether it would be insured because of the pitched roof or it had old wiring. The roof looks normal to me. House has never leaked before. Waste of money. Why do we pay these leeches. It will cost them in the end because I'm changing all my polices to another insurer.

Terrible company, from the start they don't want to pay.

published

Please, choose a different company. I've been with youi for a while now, when I made a claim, from the start they tried to find ways to get out of paying. The point of having insurance is so you don't have to stress about things happening. I wish I chose a more reputable company. I've paid every month, even after the incident, to not be covered. Thank you youi for taking my money, and screwing me over.

Absolute rip off

published

Currently with NRMA insurance paying $1700.00 per annum got a quote from YOUI to be told the premium would be $9000.00 per annum. Their adds quote that they are saving everyday Australians money on their insurance. Not sure what they are doing.

Just changed to Youi for Home and Contents, after having a vehicle with them for a few years.

published

Had a car claim with Youi a few years back and raved about how easy they made it. I've just changed my home and contents policy to them, and saved $520.00! I read all the Product Disclosure Statement and compared to my current provider, and was satisfied I wasn't going backwards in cover. Got 20% saving on due to vehicle being insured at the same address.

Absolutely Appalling Service - Honestly the worst company that I had to deal with

published

Been a customer with YOUI for 2 years, made no claims or calls. When i wanted to cancel my policy, the guy I spoke to over phone reduced my premium without my knowledge. When I cancelled my policy anyways after 1 day, they calculated my prorated outstanding balance based on the reduced premium. Such crooks who dwindled me out of 100$. Customer dis-service at its best.

Great savings

published

Spoke to Stuart Cordingly who was extremely helpful and patient with us to work through changing four policies to Youi. The savings were amazing as we are going to save $1400 per year. As pensioners we really appreciate any saving day to day. Have highly recommended Stuart and Youi to family and friends as we can’t believe how much we saved. Also the rewards of cheaper petrol were a surprise too. Very happy customers

Most Expensive Quote

published

I rang Youi Insurance and spent 30 minutes 18 December 2022 going through the criteria only to find out the policy was going to cost $1,402.10 for $125,000 cover. I finally bought a policy with RACQ for the same cover for only $316.76. I don't understand why YOUI have such good reviews.

does home insurance cover damage to solar panels in a hail storm

Fair Go

You would need to specify cover for the panels and some insurers wont offer cover others will charge substantially more. Youi is the only insurer with a criminal record with 15 charges and 15 convictions. Youi was investigated by the Royal Commission Inquiry and ASIC for not paying claims. Forget Youi as they are not worth the risk and considering Youi Aust. just sold of their NZ division and Youi Australia is for sale as well, you be the judge.

Do you charge extra if premium is paid monthly?
Does Flood cover flooding from rivers, lakes or concourses?
Is your Accidental Damage cover on contents only or building and contents and is it for full sum insureds or limited?

Hi Libby D. Main reason for insuring my contents with Youi (for the first time) was a recommendation from Choice magazine (May 2022 issue). Youi were competitive on price and received a good rating (80/100) in the "complaints" category. I can't comment about car insurance but I'll be considering them.
