This Optional Cover is for fixed glass only. Refer to the PDS for more information.

In most cases, the replacement value of cars decrease over time, but in recent years, due to increased costs and constrained supply, we have seen some cars increase in value. As such, your amount covered will be automatically changed to reflect this.

You can increase or decrease your amount covered, within a specified range, and your premium will change accordingly.

You can also choose to insure your vehicle for Market Value. This will change your premium.

Refer to the PDS for details.

When you took out your policy, you would've given us an estimate of how much you drive your car in a year, and that figure informs your premium price. Usually, a higher estimate results in a higher premium, since your'e at greater risk of an incident. If you find yourself driving a lot less then you estimated, maybe because you're working from home or walking to the shops rather than driving, you can log in and adjust this figure. Doing so may reduce your premium a little.

Listing additional drivers on your policy can alter your premium, depending on their details and claims history. For example, if you have a teenager who used your car when they started driving but has since bought their own, they may no longer need to be listed. If you decide to remove them, your premium might be reduced.

If you've moved, make sure your address is updated on your policy. Your location can affect your premium, based on that location's level of risk, so your address being updated can result in your payments being adjusted. Fair warning; that adjustment can reduce your premium, or it may result in an increase. Either way, you'll ensure you're not at risk of having a claim denied or reduced due to incorrect address details.

Eligible policies include Comprehensive Car Insurance.

With AAMI Flexi-Premiums®, you can choose to lower your premium by increasing your excess This'll mean that, while your monthly or yearly premium is cheaper, you'll face more out-of-pocket costs if you make a claim where you're liable to pay an excess. Whether that trade-off is worth it is totally up to you, but it's worth considering.

You may need to update your address, or record a change of car ownership. If so, just get in touch with Service NSW online or call 13 77 88.

To update vehicle driver details or driving history, give AAMI a call on 13 22 44.
