Haven't read a lot good about Youi. Even so it is a pretty stupid thing to do. Pick up someone you don't know and leave the keys in the car, whether it is a proximity key or not. So I don't blame them for not paying out.

Edit: Decided to read the whole thread. Oh my..

My daughter totalled her car, Police cleared her of any blame. YOUI refused to re-insure her.!!

That is not Youi's fault, it is not a normal car theft. It wouldn't be a normal event covered on a normal comprehensive vehicle cover.

If you are selling a car from home & you give someone the keys for a test drive & they take the car you can't claim on any normal car insurance for that either.

Or if your missus walks out on you taking things from your house or your car you can't claim that on your insurance as burglary or theft.

It's simply not a legitimate insurance claim, people don't pay insurance to cover these events.

I think Sorted's post was to point out the hilarity of the situation and the replies, and not to have a shot at Youi

Read the whole thread, much lols

Youi acted well within their obligations and responsibilities, they shouldn't be liable for the stupidity of the insured.

mike_nofx · 27-08-2016, 02:11 PM

How is this not classed as "theft"?

Yeah thanks, I think you are right,

I certainly did not bother reading the entire "whirlpool" thread because

I just get fed up with seeing morons complaining on the internet about stuff like this when the companies are not doing anything wrong.

That as it seems is the same as the point of the OP starting this thread.

No one is denying it is theft, but because old mate Torque left the key on the seat, he was negligent in keeping the keys secure and on him. As such, Youi washed their hands of it.

Why did this idiot leave the keyfob in the car with a random person. You can leave the ignition on Acc or On with the engine not running, take the fob away and the ignition will stay on but the engine cannot be started. Obviously not the brightest person.

It wasn't just a random person.
It was his bit of paid entertainment for an hour or so! LOL.

And the funniest part, he didn't even manage to get one off

Pedro · 27-08-2016, 03:35 PM

The guy obviously did the wrong thing by leaving the keys in the car, but I've had a very bad experience with that company and wouldn't insure anything with them even if they were the last insurance company left on earth.

**Sorted** · 27-08-2016, 04:11 PM

YOUI is cheap - you pay for what you get !!!

If you have a claim and you have not disclosed to them that one speeding fine and they find out they will deny your claim so BEWARE

The Yeti · 27-08-2016, 04:52 PM

I've had a **** of a day, I read all 7 pages and, it's pure gold

This guy has his car stolen by a rental girl (it's a legitimate profession apparently) after he left his key on the seat with her in it while he went to the ATM and he can't get why the insurance co won't pay

There's 7 pages of him really not understanding how this girl a professional couldnt be a crock

A hi light is were one poster uses the details of the story to rewrite the police's Classic Roxane

I can't comment about Youi in particular

but I wouldn't go with any insurance company who's biggest claim to fame is about advertising cheap premiums.

The simple truth is you only get what you pay for!

I think you would have a hard time getting a settlement from any insurance company if you left you key on the seat while you left the vehicle to got to an ATM to get cash to pay a sex worker who was waiting IN SIDE said vehicle

But I also don't go near youi after all their slogan is at Youi we'll get you

I'm sure Youi have the matter in hand mate...

...or maybe not seeing he's been knocked back there as well

I wonder if the girls name was Amy?

Yeah, exactly.
