You can also choose to add the optional cover for Hire car after an event for unlimited days when you have an AAMI Comprehensive Car Insurance policy, for an additional premium. With this option, we can arrange and pay the reasonable cost of a hire car following an event covered by your policy if your car:
- is damaged and can’t be safely driven
- is being repaired, or
- has been stolen
We’ll do this until:
- your car is returned undamaged
- your car is repaired and returned to you, or
- your claim is settled.
This means not having to worry about having to return your transport before everything is resolved.
*Cover stops before the 21 day limit when your car is returned undamaged, we repair your car and return it to you, or we settle your claim.
If we arrange a hire car for you with our provider, then we’ll cover accidental loss or damage to the hire car under your AAMI Comprehensive Car Insurance policy as if the definition of ‘car’ in the policy had been extended to include the hire car. However, cover for loss or damage to the hire car is limited to the market value of the hire car.

You can’t add optional covers after an incident and have damage or loss covered for that same incident. Optional covers must be added to your policy before the incident you’re claiming for.
