Worst customer experience

published

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.

Disgraced at HBF for transferring us with no approval by me. called them for a simple claim & in 30 minutes, got passed around to 3 different people who not only had English barriers, they kept of passing me around and had to explain myself 3 times with no resolution at the end!

Long delay in reimbursements

published

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...

Great for ctp and insurance

published

Our family recently renewed our CTP and insurance with NRMA, the quote was the most comprehensive quote and inclusions for the best price. The only thing I have been disappointed with is nrma roadside assistance, which was a tad misleading with what was included.

Beware, they hook you in with a misleading offer and blame you for believing it.

published

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.

Annoying NRMA Whistling Commercial is very annoying ear piercing vile it makes me walk past to their competitors.
Who would pay for a creepy Whistler to advertise a product when it has the opposite effect.

Hopeless customer service

published

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 had my window broken and helped in the same day

published

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!

DO NOT chose NRMA green slip

published

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
WHAT has happened with this GREAT AUSTRALIAN BRAND. Please ppl BEWARE

DISAPPOINTED CUSTOMER

published

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.

You can't insure a standard unmodified vehicle for the cheapest price on car sales.

published

Seems their system is failing to keep up with the current market.
I'd have to insure a car for 7- 8K less than actual "market" price.
No modifications or anything special.

Shame they picked up the phone quickly and were nice enough.

No refund when you cancel your policy. Do not use NRMA

published

If you pay for one year upfront and sell your car after say 3 months, you will get nothing back for the insurance. That is a violation of consumer rights and should not be allowed. Consumer rights are slowly going down the drain and nobody cares. Let's start to turn this trend around back in our favour. Don't engage these companies.

Customer consultant good, but sadly product terrible

published

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
