Never again

published

It has taken months for me to progress a not-at-fault car insurance claim. At various points in the process I have been informed that NRMA has revalued the car without my agreement, lost the location of the vehicle following the accident (leaving me to find which repairer the car had gone to), ignored phone calls and emails for weeks at a time and refused to provide a temporary replacement vehicle - despite my policy entitling me to one. In my unpleasant experience, the company is focused purely on short-term profits at your expense.

Not worth the money! Horrific customer service! Unethical company!

published

STAY AWAY! It’s an extremely Unethical Company! You cannot imagine how despicable the company value is. I used my comprehensive cover to fix a small scratch for my car, the cover premium increased by about $500 the next year.

The worst - If I could give them 0 stars, boy I would!

published

Pathetic joke of an insurance company.
Terrible communication, don't bother to call or update when they should or say they will.
Leave their customers of 30+ years in car - less for over 3 weeks and counting.
Will not cover a hire car in the interim.
Utterly appalled with this service.

Loyalty for nothing

published

I’ve been with NRMA for 13 years. This year my premium increased by almost $600. I’ve not been in an accident and made no changes to my policy. When I called to ask why the premium had increased, the customer service rep was not able to provide any clarity. She was more than happy for me to switch to another insurer and made very little attempt to try keep me as a customer. Loyalty means nothing to this company. I will be switching to another insurer.

Was put with NRMA in my new car purchase in 2016. Every year the premium increased then when I enquired about the NO claims bonus, I was told that I was getting the NO claims bonus already even though my premiums kept on going - nothing but UP& UP& UP.

Rude staff/ worst customer service

published

I opened a claim on 06th of April and since then I've been calling and enquiring about my motorcycle and why it was taking so long. Wednesday 08th of April, I called and was informed that the assessment was with the assessor and someone would call me in 24/48h (today is 21st and I’m still waiting for this call).
I called again on 15th and was told that the assessment went to the wrong department. It's been more than two weeks and I still don't know what's going on.
NRMA has the worst customer service ever. I'm so disappointed.

Rude staff. Expensive premiums. Dreadful claim performance.

published

Car was damaged in hale Storm in January. Still not repaired and estimated to take six weeks to repair minor damage maybe in May. Asked to have second claim repaired at same time. Refused. Attempted to call to discuss on many occasions. Never called back. Renewal premium $300 more than competitors despite no at fault claims in over 30 years. Worst service I have ever experienced.

I was shocked to have my elderly father complain to me that insurance for his car is so expensive upon checking his policy found that he was paying an exorbitant amount for car insurance $2,300 upon doing a check online I have purchased a policy with QBE exactly matching the NRMA policy for $1,100 how can you explain doing this to a 67 year old man who has been with NRMA for 35 years. I will now make sure that all his policies with NRMA are cancelled.. 1 down 3 to go

appalling, would never trust them with our lives, livelihood and wellbeing

published

We are disgusted at the way we've been treated, particularly now, our phones and other items were damaged through a lightning storm in Feb and they still don't give us a response/resolution, my husband and I have health conditions and cannot communicate with health providers or specialist. We depend on friends or families to lend us old phones but have to return them or don't work at all.
We feel they don't care about us and have left us totally uncommunicated in case we need urgent medical treatment.

Better hope you don't have to claim, and NEVER use their 'authorised repairers'

published

Completely lost faith in NRMA car insurance. They have caused a year of stress, anxiety and depression and after 2 attempts at repair they still have not done an acceptable job. Do not EVER use their authorised repairers - I cannot emphasise this strongly enough. If you do, get your car inspected by an independent body following any repairs. I will be taking the matter further. I do not want a response from whoever manages these reviews - i've been through it all before and quite simply had enough.

Questions & Answers

CKasked

NRMA Car Insurance

Just picked my car up from a NRMA preferred repairer. Being night time I couldn't inspect the repairs properly... however once home, I noted there to be a lot of white marks & light scratches. When inspecting the interior I was horrified and extremely upset to find my rear leather seat had been cut & torn off from around the seatbelt clasp!!!!

Prior to leaving I found the bonnet/front grill/wheel surrounds covered in baked-on insects and the odometer was a lot higher & more fuel in the tank (at least 15 ltr) than when dropping-off. The repairer fobbed me off when questioning the insects and suggested I pay them another $650 to clean my car.

Both the repairer & NRMA failed to keep me in the loop as far as progression of repair, completion time was extended 3 times & it took 28 days to repair a simple, not-at-fault, rear-ending. I was also getting them to do a private ($400) touch-up on a scratch.

My car is only 3yrs old, low milage, garaged and well cared for. I'm the only driver and pay a very high premium. This is my first claim with NRMA, as the car was previously insured with another company.
What should I do?

Hi CK, have you raised the issue with the repairer? The first thing to do would be to talk to the repairer around the damages, marks and scratches. If needed from there, please contact our claims team on 131-123 who will be able to help further. ~Nat

You need to provide the other parties full name, address, phone number, driver licence & rego. You will not need to pay an excess if NRMA agrees you're not at fault, even if the other party only has 'third party insurance'. This happened to me recently.
