AMI Car Insurance

With more than four million cars driving on New Zealand’s roads, car insurance has become a mandatory part of getting from A, to B. However, not all insurance policies are created equal. Here, Canstar compares how AMI’s vehicle cover stacks up against other insurers.

What car insurance policies does AMI offer?

The winner of Canstar’s Car Insurer of the Year Award 2023, AMI offers great policy features and value for money, as judged by Canstar’s expert research panel.

The insurer offers a choice of three car insurance policies: full cover (comprehensive), third party, fire and theft, and third party cover. The insurer also offers special insurance deals for drivers under 25.

Additionally, AMI offers multi-policy discounts, no claims bonus protection and a range of excess options.
