Glass breakage
We will pay for any accidental breakage of your vehicle's side and back window glass, windscreen or sunroof.

What’s the cost?
Your premium is how much you pay for your cover. This is calculated based on things like age, gender, driving experience and the type of car you’re driving. Because of that, everyone’s premiums are a bit different.
Your excess is a one-off amount that you pay each time you make a claim. Let’s say your excess is $500 but a repair job for a dinged-door only costs $350 – that cost is up to you. Any repair work that will cost above $500 is covered by AMI.
Frequently asked questions
-
If I have car insurance with AMI, am I covered for windscreen damage?
With our Third Party Fire & Theft insurance you also have the option of adding Glass breakage cover to your policy, which provides cover for accidental damage to your windscreen, windows and sun-roof and you won’t have to pay an excess.
If you purchase Glass excess buy-out or Glass breakage cover you won’t lose your No Claims Bonus should you make a claim.
If you'd like to add one of these options to your policy, simply email us or call us anytime on 0800 100 200. -
Do I have to list everyone who drives my vehicle on my insurance policy?
If you have a Third Party Fire and Theft policy, you should name any regular drivers who are under 25, as this will affect your excess.
Otherwise, anyone is covered as long as they have your permission to drive your vehicle, their liability isn't covered by any other insurance policy and they meet the same terms and conditions of the policy that you do.

What is freeBmax and how I can get it?
freeBmax is a free benefit that allows you up to two claims in an insurance year – where we’ve covered the cost of those claims – without your No Claims Bonus being affected.
It’s available to all customers with Comprehensive, Third Party Fire and Theft and Third Party cover, and costs nothing. All you have to do to earn it is stay claim-free (i.e. we are not required to cover the cost of a claim) for 12 months on our highest No Claims Bonus of 60%.
freeBmax stays active for the term of your policy, and is cancelled only if you make three NCB-reducing claims in a single insurance year. A NCB-reducing claim is a claim where we’ve covered the costs to your car and/or the third parties car if one was involved.
For more information please email us, call us on 0800 100 200.
