AMI wins Canstar supreme award

29 September, 2023

AMI has been named Canstar’s Car Insurer of the Year and has also won an Outstanding Value Award. 

According to the judges, AMI was chosen for the top award for its well-rounded policy, rich in features and at a price point well below the market average.

The Canstar Car Insurance awards recognise the insurer that provides most outstanding value for consumers through products and service offerings, as well as customer satisfaction.

AMI Executive General Manager Consumer Brands Paula ter Brake says, “We are very pleased to see AMI named as Car Insurer of the Year, as well as winning the Outstanding Value Award.

“It’s been a very busy year for AMI, and our team has worked incredibly hard to support our customers, particularly through the devastating storms of January and February.

“We continue to lead the way for general insurance in New Zealand and these awards are fantastic recognition of the work our team does every day to put our customers first.  For car insurance alone, we settled over 100,000 car claims in the last year and paid out over $260 million to customers.

“I am also delighted that one of our key general insurance partners, The Cooperative Bank, won an Outstanding Value award.”

Canstar New Zealand General Manager Jose George said, “Kiwis know how important insurance is, but it is often a very price-sensitive purchase. Our research shows us that Kiwis actively seek out competitive deals, or find ways to lessen their costs, when it comes to insurance.

“AMI’s win came as a result of its competitive pricing, along with its excellent features. As such, its customers are getting the best of everything. This should give Kiwis a lot of confidence in their insurance purchase. Congratulations to the team for this award, it is well deserved.”

Canstar’s expert panel rated 13 providers, and 13 products to find its winner. Canstar uses a bespoke methodology which takes into account products, features and Customer Satisfaction.
