This is the worst insurance i have ever dealt with, i had my father on the phone in a merged call and they still did not accept his validation. My dad's English is not the best and i was helping him with the model of the car and the lady was so unprofessional and she went back to her manager to see if she can accept this validation. She came back to me and told me that i need to give my dad all the details of the car off the phone and then ring back and so he can answer correctly. I told her i am with him on the phone and on a recorded line. Stay away !
The fact that the lady put me on hold to chat with " the manager " and still came back to me with that unrealistic reply and conclusion, is unprofessional.

Unfortunately illness isnt considered extenuating circumstances as the RMS send your registration papers to you 6 weeks before your registration is due and we send the CTP policy to you around 4 weeks before your registration is due and you have another 3 weeks after your registration due date to register the car.

Rather than stopping insurance for all of their customers, we have been able to offer a new policy from NRMA Insurance in its place.

I have comprehensive car insurance with NRMA that includes windscreen cover. Unfortunately, a rock struck my windscreen on the freeway. The car was only 4 months old. NRMA tried to refer me to a generic windscreen repairer when new cars are entitled to original replacement by the manufacturer. After agreeing to reimburse me to use the manufacturer for the repair, they have still not reimbursed me 6 weeks after I submitted the receipt...

Beware, they hook you in with a misleading offer and blame you for believing it.
NRMA offered a trial offer to me for 6 months and upon accepting it, the card was charged much more though and upon calling them up (and waiting 25 minutes before being able to speak to a human) they insisted they don't know how it could have happened and also that I also should have read all their small print as in the small print was apparently a contract insisted on me. AVOID.

Hi Bob,
It's great to see NRMA expanding. However the new commercial whistling is an intrusion. It's no different than someone coming up to you as you are sitting quietly or reading a book and saying:...
My new car was hail damaged mid October and I commenced a claim process with NRMA the next day. The place they sent me to for an assessment of the damage looked quite dodgy and were difficult to contact. I have also had several garbled conversations with heavily accented people at a Filipino call centre. I recently received an email from NRMA saying the hail repair place would contact me - but nothing so far. Very surprised at such poor service from NRMA. We have three cars insured with NRMA and i think i will take my business elsewhere.

I am with NRMA for two months.
Recently, I broke one of the windows of my van and was covered for it (fortunately took the option).
I lodge a claim through a phone call (waited more or less 20 minutes to have someone over the line), and on the same day, I got contacted to fix my screen by one of their partners, and was fully covered.
So far, great reactivity and support!
Thanks for the review, Alex! Happy to hear that your claim went so smoothly.

I have been a member with NRMA for 35 years. I have over 4,000 shares in IAG and have 2 cars FULLY insured and House+Contents. I rang 132 132 for a quote for Green slip. was transferred to the Philippines. NOT Australia. My youngest son is 26.1/2 years old.
the quote from NRMA is $546.38 with NO Demerit points.
QBE quote is $311.63 and the minimal is 23 years old.
I will be selling my shares in IAG as soon as the market returns the loss. And I will be CLOSING ALL my dealings with NRMA & IAG

I have been an NRMA Insurance customer for 53years. My recent experience has taught me that they do not know what GOOD service is. For 3weeks I have been on a merrygoround and unable to get a refund of an excess I was forced to pay to claim my car AFTER repairs caused by a minor accident, NOT MY FAULT. I claimed via online, provided all the information of the driver 'at fault' received a text message to that fact. Booked my car in...3days for repairs, on picking my car up the NRMA had changed my profile to 'at fault'...they didnt have any info ...
Read moreon the 'other driver', they said...not provided by me. NOT TRUE. I then had to provide that info AGAIN!! It has taken me 3weeks of phonecalls, long waits, NO result. I decided to go speak to an ACTUAL PERSON @ ERINA 29th Nov. I spent another hour with the lady, who managed to work out the issue. I heard her speak to another person NRMA employed...who clearly said..NOT OUR PROBLEM. However he rang the repairer, instructing them to refund $695, which they did...12hrs later, I have the money. HOWEVER at no time did the NRMA contact me prior to explain what I needed to do. I am NRMA's customer and at no time did I feel that they had my interest in solving the problem. If this is their current standard of service, time to take my 4x policies eksewhere. If NRMA is interested, to verify what I say.......... ref no.

Almost 2 months and they still have not reimbursed me. I was always under the assumption that the processes in NRMA are fast and efficient. The customer service agents are polite though but the reimbursement timeline is too long. I first lodged my claim last October 14 and not it is almost 2 months now. I do connect with the customer service every week to follow-up. I think I am going to switch now to another insurance provider. There are no calls, no updates, whatsoever. I think I received an update only 2x during the entire process.

Firstly, I want to say the customer service team are really nice but the person who really do accessing is horrible.
I lodged a claim about hail damage around beginning of Nov, I checked the repairer listed in the NRMA system, one is located in Hornsby, which is really far from me, and the other one is located in Mt Druitt, but it’s Google review is extremely low. So after I discussed with one of my friends who lives nearby and running a very reputed car repair company, he said he can help me to get it fixed and he can claim from NRMA.
As I...
Read more will go overseas at the beginning of Dec, so I think it will be the best way to get my car fixed by my friend’s help, so my friend helped me to drive my car to his factory and get the access report done and submit to NRMA at 11th of Nov, I was quite patient then as my friend told me it will take around one week for processing, my friend knows that I am quite anxious so his staff called NRMA hail damage department on 16th of Nov to follow up, the answer is the accessor is still processing and will call me this Friday, which is 19th of Dec, so I am waiting for the accessor’ call, but no one called me that Friday. Then my friend called NRMA again, the answer is the accessor will call me next Monday. However, I haven’t received any call from the accessor till 3:30pm, so I called NRMA customer service by myself. During the next 1 hour and 40mins, even more than 1 hour and 10mins waiting time included, a kind customer service lady read the whole story from the system record and also input my words into system and told me the accessor will read those notes and contact me the next day, I told her that my concern that I was always told I will get call next day but always got disappointed, but she said she put my case to the top priority, so the accessor will call me for sure, then I trusted her. So next day, no surprise, no one called me by almost 3pm, then again, I made a long waiting call to NRMA and finally I got chance to talk the accessor, [Name Removed] who is in charge of my case, and during the phone call, I just realized that he hasn’t started processing! He opened my file and said there is nothing and then he found the access report sent two weeks ago, and I believe it’s his first time to click my file. I was totally shocked, then I asked him why he hasn’t even started processing even after two weeks, he said he didn’t know, he just did what pops out in his screen. I said my friend and I kept calling customer service, and every time the customer service member will send msg to him, but he said he has never received any msg from customer service member, and two weeks waiting time is not a big deal, some case needs up 18 months! That’s fabulous excuse! Sure it is, I believe there hundreds cases about hail damage everyday. I didn’t want to blame him on the phone, he said he is happy to approve my friend’s report rather than forcing me to send my car to his nominated car repairer as he find my friend quote is competitive. I said no problem, and my friend agrees to match any reasonable quote. He said he will call me tomorrow to let me know, which is today. This morning, he called me and said I am not allowed to use any other repairer who is not in his list, and said I waste my time because I didn’t use his repairer, not his fault. I argued with him, why he said I can yesterday, and why he didn’t call me to said I can’t for the past weeks. In addition, my friend called many times after the access report submitted, he also asked the same question, the answer is positive, and no one told him he can’t repair my car. I told him that based on yesterday conversation, he said I can choose any repairer just if I can approve the quote is reasonable, so shall I ask my friend to take some photos about my car and send to him, he can ask his authorized car repairer to give a quote as well and check which one is more competitive. He said ok, but can’t guarantee. So I asked my friend to try to take photos about my car after talking with him. But unfortunately my friend told me because of my car’s dark color, it’s hard to take clear photos, but he can arrange his staff to drive my car to NRMA authorized car repairer to quote on spot. So I sent a msg to [Name Removed], and ask an authorized car repair company address closed to my friend’s company. I can see he read my msg just a second but not responded, so I wait another one hour and call him, he didn’t know it was me, after he found that’s me, then he said give him 5 mins, and he will texted the car repairer company address to me. I said thanks and hang on the phone.Hi Jack,

Sent me to one of their 'preferred' repairers what an utter joke...
I have been a member of NRMA now for over 25 years and have numerous policies currently with them being 3 comprehensive car insurance policies, 3 car and 1 motorcycle roadside assistance, and a house and contents policy. One of our vehicles was involved in a small car accident with minimal damage (as can be seen in the pictures below) and it was sent to one of their so called 'preferred repairers' being Camden Smash and Restoration at Smeaton Grange. On Monday they did a 'drive by' assessment of my car whilst on the back of the tow truck and se...
Read morent it straight to 'salvage'. They told me on the phone that it firstly had a bent chassis leading to their determination which is by no means correct. I called up NRMA to find out where 'salvage' was only to be rudely told that it was Pickerings in Millperra and that I should not call them until I heard from an assessor. I explained to them that I needed to collect personal items from my car which made no difference in regards to any form of compassion displayed and was just given the number to call. This morning (Tuesday) I arrive at Pickerings and could clearly see through the fence that my number plates had already been removed off my car. I called NRMA questioning as to why this had been done only to be told that is what they do even though my car hadn't yet been assessed. I informed the operator that the damage was minimal and that Camden Smash and Restoration had done a quick 'drive by' assessment on the back of the tow truck deeming it having a bent chassis thus making it a write-off. With me kindly disputing this fact the operator put me on hold and called the smash repairer only to be told that the reason for it being 'written off' was a completely busted steering column, which she in turn relayed to me. Again look at the pictures provided and then tell me this slight amount of damage to the front quarter panel and wheel caused that. NRMA needs to be held in account of the smash repairers its sending its customers to and easily notice discrepencies provided in the reasons given when they simply can't be bothered looking at a car because they won't make enough money from fixing them. I have not before come across such a high level of incompetence by a repairer or company with whom ive done service for over 25 years. I took both photos and video footage of my car including the chassis and steering which I in turn showed both my mechanic of 12 years at Dave Gibbons Automotive and the people at Campbelltown Smash Repairs (both of whom will receive no business out of my predicament). My mechanic told me that the damage to my Navara was a bent tie rod, possible bent control arm and stud axle. Likewise Campbelltown Smash Repairers were in agreeance with my mechanic that the cost of repair falls far short of the 10 thousand dollars that it is insured for. Again the carrying out of a 'drive by' assessment and failure to ensure companies under it banner comply has left me in a predicament that none should be placed in and seen as stupid. We will see whether NRMA assessors identify the minimal amount of damage to my Navara and repair it. Loyalty to a company such as NRMA once stood for something yet of late being a member is more a matter of disappointment where policies need to be swapped out for alternative providersHi Glenn, thanks for taking the time to share your concerns with your claim. Although we aren't a part of our claim department here in our social media team, it certainly looks like you've had a frust...
Read morerating time with your claim and I don't blame you for how you are feeling. We would love to look further into this one, especially if you disagree with the outcome of the claim. It's also concerning that you didn't receive the high level of customer service that we expect for all of our customers.I have had NRMA insurance for about 20 years without any problems. I re-insured with them on returning from WA. After a small scrape I had to take my car to one of their centralised service centres at Alexandria, which was not convenient to where I lived. The needed 1-2 weeks to repair the paint scrape. During this time I had to go without a car ( a paint scrape - you would think a small job that may take a day at most). I collected my car after some confusion about when it would be ready, which was annoying because I had to get someone to driv...
Read moree me to the service centre. After a couple of goes I got there just before they closed. The communication was rude and unhelpful. They really didn't care. It was dark. I took the car after signing something to say the work was done. As I drove out, the fuel light went on. Odd. I thought I'd filled the tank before I took it in. I rarely run it that low to empty. There wasn't enough petrol left to get home. Maybe not even to get a petrol station. Concerned, I rang my partner to come get me. I then went back to the guy, who was closing up, and explained there was no petrol in the car. He checked the records and confirmed that the car was full when it was brought in. But the speedometer indicated yhat only a few kilometres had been travelled. He said that I needed to email information to the head of their service asking for a refund on the petrol and that they would investigate. So I filled the tank, noticing the petrol cap was broken off its hook, and emailed the receipt as told, and I was told they would reimburse it. (They never did.) The next time I took the car out, in the light, I saw a nasty gash in the bumper. (It was long and deep enough to make it not possible to insure the car with another company, I found out later). I swear it wasn't there before. But I can't prove it. I make a complaint - or try to- but I'm told NRMA doesn't have a central feedback/complaints option. If you have a problem you need to contact the service centre responsible for the repairs. Well, I did already, but clearly they had no interest in hearing my complaints. The only proof I had of both events was based on their records, which I had no access to. And I had no one else to go to. Then I take the car out in the evening and the internal ceiling light doesn't work. It won't stay on but the globe is fine. I took it to the mechanic and got it fixed.The cover then fell off the front internal light. i can't believe it. My car is only 3-4 years old and has never had anything wrong with it. Two years on, I still can't change insurers because of the damage, and now I've had another scrape - someone hit me in a car park, but because of the whole debacle, I didn't get it fixed. I just didn't have the time or energy and didn't trust them. I decided I would rather pay to have it fixed myself. I used to trust them. Definitely do not trust them. They are not the NRMA they used to be.Hi Rebecca,

The NRMA consultant I spoke with to get a quote for comprehensive car insurance was very good, but very sadly the insurance amount offered was terrible. I wanted agreed valve on my vz Holden commodore not market value. NRMA were not interested at all. I went to shannons and got a very good deal, a cheaper quote and agreed value on my commodore more than I expected. The NRMA used to be for the motorist, now there just about money and not about customer service for the loyal customers they still have left. There road side assistance is way over priced as well IMHO. The NRMA was not interested in me, now I'm not interested in the NRMA. Goodbye
