Ok until you have to make a claim
I have taken out travel insurance multiple times with RAC and was under the illusion that everything was great, people in Perth easy to deal with, price competitive. Making a claim is however a different story. The Tokyo company which underwrites the RAC are rude, difficult to deal with, demand a series of different lots of information. Anything to delay and frustrate you. Totally illogical to me that someone would give up a long planned European holiday to fly back to Australia to see a family member believed to be dying. Why would anyone do that? Yes there is documentation from the hospital to support this claim, still they continue to demand more and more. If you value your sanity don't go there.

Easy cancellation
I had duplicated the policy and asked for a cancellation.The cancellation confirmation was received within the hour. This was much better than expected and I was grateful not to have to go through a long process.

DON'T DO IT go to a better Co. RAC travel insurance is rubbish.
The majority of people on here who say how good RAC travel insurance is have never had to make a claim. They take your money then if you make a claim they pass you on to a Japanese company.
The product is not fit for purpose.

liars and conmen
please do not take out travel insurance with rac wa: it is nothing but a con
They are happy to take your premium but when things go wrong they don't want to know anything
RAC are just an agent and all their travel insurance is managed by a Japanese company (Tokio Marine and Nichido fire), based on the eastern states
many of their senior staff who are listed as local to Australia actually live and are based in the united states: so much for dealing with "locals"
Tokio Marine have an appalling reputation for delaying and not paying out legitimate...Read more

Trip to Japan
We didn't have to use our RAC travel insurance, but felt safe knowing we had it. It was easy to set up online and I thought reasonably priced for us.

A bit trying to set up
While the customer service representative was polite it took three calls for him to get my email correct and the correct spelling of my dependent's names. This does detract from what should be a streamlined experience.

No problems setting up. Daryl Calder at RAC Mandurah was excellent and extremely patient in helping us to find the right travel option. Would thoroughly recommend Daryl to all those wanting to travel.

Most reliable service: a vote of confidence
As a RAC member I find it is a painless exercise to make application for any travel insurance cover I request online. Further, I have the confidence that if I needed to make a claim in relation to my travel in the future, that I will be able to speak with an RAC representative to discuss any matters. Whilst I have not needed to make a travel insurance claim to date, I have used RAC on 3 previous and very unexpected occasions (for roadside assistance since 2015). Even though the RAC failed to provide a rescue vehicle to pick up our broken down ...Read more

Not cheap but absolute value for money!
No issue in setting up and NO PROBELM in amending when necessary. Mrs Sharon Barlow at RAC DIanella Plaza was very helpful, effective and gracious. That personal touch makes it extra rewarding for us.

OK but not perfect
Easy to set up.. No waiting time on the phone which was appreciated. Some parts like 'pets, income protection, special events and rental car insurance' are irrelevant for us as we are visiting family only. 5% reduction helped but more would have been better.Would it be too hard to look into custom policies for people like us? Reduction for membership was appreciated too. Used RAC policy once before

every one needs travel insurance
Every one regardless of your age should take out travel insurance. I have found that being a member of RAC their travel insurance is not expensive. To many time's on the news some one, has been injured but they have no insurance or they have had items stolen and no travel insurance. Before you leave on your next holiday do your self a favour and take out travel insurance for peace of mind.

So easy to claim
My husband ruptured his quad on the last day of our cruise. Medical crew were brilliant, ambulance to meet us at Fremantle port. Hospital stay covered by Medicare. Insurance help line young man was very helpful, emailed all the info. Submitted forms and bills by snail mail and was paid within 8 days.

Good coverage especially for hire cars
I have used this insurance twice. The extra charges for minor preexisting conditions was a little high. I have not made a claim in the past. Policy was good for hire cars

Great value for Money!
Fortunately I haven't had to lodge a claim but it was a breeze to set up and good value compared to a few others. I would most certainly recommend it to anyone.

See below for explanation
We've never been into Travel Insurance in a big way. Our main mode of travel for yonks has been in our camper van, without T.I. However, on this last trip to Melbourne, Gold Coast and home we did have T.I. At the time of the very efficient and well priced setting up, we were pleased with the result. But because we didn't use it, we have no idea how good it would have been, had we needed to use it. Cheers, Rob and Lynne Cairns.

Simple and easy to purchase on line
Yet to travel and have never made a claim. Policy was easy to purchase on line. Member discount helped.
Have purchased 2 policies now, but next time we travel it will be RAC Insurance that we use.

Questions & Answers
Bernadette K.asked
We are booked for travel in October, will we get back the $1400+ we paid for insurance if our flights are cancelled & travel bans are still in place
1 answer
I think it depends on the date you brought insurance, either before virus warning, I cancelled my insurance as it was worthless, covered nothing due to purchasing after virus and they refunded immediately, if your insurance was paid pre warning they will cover everything, best to ring them it didn’t take long to get through.

Highly unlikely, RAC are wiping their hands. Read through their fine print and if you call their office, they will give you two phone numbers dedicated to Covid19 enquiries- one is an (02) number, the other a 1300 number...they just ring out or are engaged until someone finally answers. Good luck!
Hi Ray, depends when you purchased. And if you took out, cancellation for any reason. If you are in the twenty day cooling off period, you will get a full refund within days. Good luck.
Just call RAC if no luck online. I had no issue cancelling mine
