How to save on car running costs

Everyone’s talking about the costs of running a car. The price of fuel is heading sky-high, servicing costs are only getting more expensive and if you choose to park your car somewhere remotely close to the city, parking costs can be astronomical.

But there are ways for drivers to save, and many of them are available through the partners now on board with YouiRewards. We’ve worked hard to bring on more auto-related partners that are able to offer you great value on the road. Here are 5 partners that can offer you better value – including 2 recent additions and 3 of our most popular partners.

1. AutoGuru

Everyone hates the costs involved with car servicing. And often it’s hard to tell if you’re getting a good deal or just getting ripped off by a mechanic. You know it has to be done, but surely there’s a better way? That’s what inspired the team at AutoGuru to create a whole new, smarter way to look after car servicing. So how does it work? AutoGuru pulls together the details of local mechanics in your area from a pool of over 1600, lets you check out real customer reviews, and then book your service online. If you’re a YouiRewards member, you can lock in a discount at the same time. YouiRewards members can save up to 15% on their car servicing, up to a maximum of $300 a year. Now that really is a smarter way to do car servicing.

With AutoGuru, you get the reassurance that comes from seeing real reviews, plus the savings that come from being a YouiRewards member.  To find out more, check out the AutoGuru site

2. SuperCheap Auto

Another recent addition to the YouiRewards program is the team from SuperCheap Auto. They’ve got hundreds of stores right across Australia, and one of the best online stores going around – with over 500,000 products available to be shipped straight to your front door.

You’ll find the latest in-car tech available from GPS units through to dashcams through to ways to boost your stereo surround sound. Plus they’ve got all the accessories you could need for both inside and outside your car like floormats and car covers. There’s nothing car-related that you can’t find at your local Super Cheap Auto.

YouiRewards members can save 10% on a $100 eGift Card from SuperCheap Auto. And you can even use the gift card on sale items to help you save even more.

You can’t go too far without fuel in your tank, but you don’t need to drive for miles to try and score a bargain. We’ve made it much easier to get a discount on your fuel.

One of the most popular YouiRewards partners is Caltex. YouiRewards members can save 5% off a $50 Starcash Fuel Card, able to be used to fill up at participating Caltex stations nationwide.
