About Skilled Drivers

Our AAMI approved driver training program is conducted by Murcotts Driving Excellence. They provide a one day driving course designed to arm young drivers who are under 25 years of age with safe driving techniques and a better understanding of what it takes to be safe on the road.

Who can do the course?

The course is open to all AAMI customers who hold an AAMI Comprehensive Car policy (purchased or renewed on 19 June 2018 or after) and hold a P-Plate or full license, at a cost to you, and if:

  • you hold an AAMI Comprehensive Car policy (purchased or renewed on 19 June 2018 or after) and hold a P-Plate or full license and are under 25 years of age, are a listed driver on an AAMI Comprehensive Car Insurance policy and you complete the course with an AAMI approved provider; or
  • your child or grandchild is under 25, is a listed driver on your AAMI Comprehensive Car Insurance policy and they complete the course with an AAMI approved provider.

Then you, your child or grandchild are eligible to undertake the course at a cost to you and on completion you are eligible to receive up to a 10% discount on your AAMI Comprehensive Car Insurance premium, until the first renewal on or after the participant turns 25 as long as the participant remains a listed driver. The discount does not apply to the portion of the premium relating to AAMI Roadside Assist, if you have purchased that option. AAMI does not pay for the course.

* The course is conducted by Murcotts Driving Excellence and is subject to their terms and conditions.

How the discount works

Once you complete the AAMI Skilled Drivers Course, the related Comprehensive Car Insurance policy holder – whether it be you, your parent or grandparent – gets a discount on their premium.

The discount is applied until the first renewal on or after the participant turns 25 as long as the participant remains a listed driver. The discount does not apply to the portion of the premium relating to AAMI Roadside Assist, if you have purchased that option.

Making our roads safer

In 45 odd years since the birth of AAMI, we've helped get people back on the road after literally millions of accidents.

From scrapes and dings to fender benders, embarrassing errors in reversing to the more serious of accidents, we've seen them all.

That's why we put safety at the centre of everything we do.
