TessD Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hi all, I haven't been on here for a while so apologies if I am repeating info already out there. Previously, you could only insure your import with Just Car Insurance, as we did. However, whilst on a phone call with Youi yesterday I was very pleased to hear that they will now insure cars from the UK as long as they were built after 1980. I saved myself over $300 on our Peugeot 307 Estate! Don't know if any other insurers are now able to provide cover but it wasn't the case in August when I received my renewal notice and phoned around to check. If anyone is interested, I have the contact email address for the guy who I dealt with at Youi (a Pom) and he is more than happy to assist with a quote. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Chef Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Before you get too excited, I have heard numerous stories regarding Youi and dramas with claims being refused and repairs done on the cheap. If you're happy with them so far, that's great, but remember that there's more to insurance than a cheap premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TessD Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Hi Iron Chef, Yes, I agree. Having worked in the industry for a number of years I think poor repairs and premiums can be an issue but thought it was worth putting it out there so that folks know they have a choice. Saying all that though, I've just changed from my bank to Youi for contents/home insurance and happily paid more for it as my bank were rubbish when I put through a claim earlier this year. ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Chef Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Definitely savings to be had if you can bundle with your home/contents. I do the same through Shannon's with my cars. Good to see that more insurers are taking imports seriously, let's hope they all do the same eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
