Our claim handled with efficiency and care.

published

Took out comprehensive car insurance on our new car. Involved in an accident which was my fault and damaged the car beyond repair. RAA staff were efficient and helpful with our claim and replaced our car with a new one with no problems. Will now insure again with RAA. as they are the best. Douglas.

Excellent insurer for custom cars

published

Came out to work one morning to a semi burnt out interior in my 03 Saab 93. Raw took the car that day (monday) and by weeks end had the claim settled. Could not ask for a better company in such a stressful time. The policy was well priced and agrees value ment my custom Saab was covered. The phone attendants understood and included all my mods. From intercooler to c02 systems and tunes.. Thank you RAA. You will have my future business and my families.

Dodgy service

published

Absolute terrible, dodgy service..I had an accident recently but they refused to replace my car parts..They just asked the mechanic to use glue to stick the bumpers back..I'm sure if it was the other way around, they would have charged me $10,000 and they would even ask me to replace the roof with a new one!! There is no way I get RAA insurance anymore; the worst company in Australia!

Cost getting to high

published

I have been with the RAA for over 21 years. I have always had good service, any problems, one phone call and they have always been straight on to it. But it is becoming so expensive, going up each year. If it keeps going up I won't be able to afford RAA insurance. I have had very few claims over the years. payed Thousands of dollars, Is ther no rewards for not making claims.

Poor customer service

published

I rang for road side assistance as my car battery was dead, the lady who answered was extremely rude from the get go. She showed no empathy what so ever and her tone was appalling. In an already stressful situation she made it 10times worse. Safe to say I didn't get the raa out and called a friend instead!

Insurance taking to long.

published

The wife and I were hit by a car that didn't stop at the stop sign. police did tests with us, we don't do drugs or drink. cleared of all wrongdoing and not speeding.car is a write-off. but RAA they are not like other insurance company's, very slow to pay us out. we live in the country and have no car.sadly we have been hit 4 times and never our fault. but other insurance company's fixed the car or paid us out very quickly and was in contact with us all the time. this is very bad.

Several claims made, all simple, easy and painless!

published

I have had the unfortunate need to make 4 car insurance claims in the last 5 years as well as 2 house claims . Each time my claim has been paid out after a quick assessing process. Most recently I had a windscreen claim, it shattered on a Sunday and via the online claim system, it was replaced on the Monday at my work! I will never consider using any other insurer than RAA.

Outstanding service- THANK YOU

published

I have used them for under a year, have called them out twice now. Both times, great service.
My most recent callout, I had two staff members who were absolutely brilliant. Super friendly, great attitudes despite being called out in high winds/rain and from 6pm-7:30pm. More than impressed, have really gotten my money’s worth of service.

My stationary car was hit by a 4WD.

Raa refused to fix my car after months of waiting. They were not helpful at all. My car was hit while I was completely stopped, waiting for a speeding 4wd to pass. Raa is the WORST INSURANCE COMPANY EVER.

What a change from QBE

published

I changed insurers due to the appalling experience I had with QBE.
My experiences with RAA have been reassuring and helpful.
I am happy to pay a little more to get service that is nothing but the best.
Goodbye QBE.
Never again.

Had an accident where a lady hit my motorcycle and I was wrongly accused by false report. RAA especially Sheree as my claim handler stood up for me and helped me through every process. I also got the result of my claim within 2 weeks. What a great job! will surely choose RAA for my next vehicle

Scamners!! When it comes to claiming

They are the biggest scammers when it comes to claiming. The only good thing is their road services.

IDK what kind of assessors they use, they are dodgy as. These people try thir best to avoid paying you what you what you actually deserve...

RAA Car Insurance

I have comprehensive car insurance ! Recently had accident! my car will be non - repairable. My car is used when we bought but it’s a 2017 Honda and was only done 10,000 and around 40,000 on the clock right before the crash !, my question is, I read it in the PDS that car can be replaced with same model, year and condition ! We have loan with the car, and we only need a replacement car as we need a car anyways as we have 4 children ! Dose it possible to get replacement car instead the insurer pay out our loan and stuff ? This is my first claim ever! Hopefully will be hassle free as I already experienced a very unpleasant costumer services and stressing ! Praying for a good result ! Thank you !

Hi Marelle, it took about eight weeks, but I delayed the process by not having my phone on hand (leaving it in the car and not checking the missed calls) when the RAA had tried to ring.

Thanks Douglas. I have never encountered such a lack of customer service. It is causing me a huge amount of stress and financial pressure. I've been a RAA member for 17 years, and it means nothing. Never again.
