Premium jump
It is easy to make a claim, they will look after you, But the premium jump of $98.00 from the previous year is just unexpectable, RACQ tells me it's an increment!!!! of $98.00.!!!
Have been with RACQ since 1999. RACQ road side for $139. and Car insurance for$456. this is a total of $595.
Youi is quoting me $302 with all the bells and whistles.

Ripp off, trapped me, Gave me stressful headache, Had to pay my excess even though it was not my fault
Gave up on me, didn't even investigate well, it was not my fault. We pay insurance for them to work for us but they told me to take your car for RACQ repairer shop and it's not my fault and no excess fee from me, but 2 days before I had to pick my car they said I had to pay $750 excess fee to get my car, they lied n trapped me, cheated, so I had to pay the excess to get my car, I would have fixed the damage for $300 at other shops, they ripped me n lied to me trapped me, Please never go with RACQ, I strongly suggest. Staff are so rude too, just Ripp off, and stress, headaches.

Not happy
I have been with racq insurance forever and ctp yet this renewal they tack on 10% to my policy of 5 cars, no claims! Why? I check with other insurance company and beat their price no trouble, since they had the big change the company has gone backwards, no more business for them also staff not so nice anymore

60 minute wait time to discuss the claim
all good with till the time you make a claim with RACQ.Your nightmare starts after you make ur claim. in some cases i waited for 1hour 20 minutes and then call dropped. a minimum of 30 to40 minutes wait. they dont even have a call back facility to help their customers. Diagonally opposite to their ads

Jack of all trades but no master of customer relations
I am a long time holder of RACQ car insurance and I have never made a claim so when my premium went up by 10%, despite no change to my circumstances, I asked why. The first customer service officer tried to see me off by referring me to the PDS but I trumped her by saying I had already read it. She then developed an attitude towards me and said that because I drive a popular make and model of car the premium had gone up. What!!??? I have never heard that one before. So using her logic, if I drive a rare car the premium should decrease??? I...Read more
think not. When I questioned this convoluted explanation she became insolent and blamed a general increase in premiums overall. I phoned back half an hour later and spoke to a much nicer customer service officer who explained that RACQ had this year taken away some of the extra little discounts that were previously able to offered to people like me. Truth at last. If you add to that the diversification of the RACQ into banking, their Smart Shuttle on Karragarra Island, Traffic Response Vehicles on the road, Commentators on the news and their Home Assist program with Tradies you get an organisation that just can't stick to its knitting. How about offering reasonably priced insurance premiums to your members? That's what we came for.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

No reminder of renewal
I have full comprehensive insurance on my car with racq that I paid in full for a year. I did not receive a email/text or any communication from them that it was coming up for renewal and they took it out of my bank which was $900 and I was left with just over a $100 on my card all of a sudden I checked my online to see an automatic payment come out for insurance. I have no problem with this as long as I have some notification prior but I've recently bought a house and it's with Suncorp so I've put the insurances for that with them and was plan...Read more
ing to switch my car once it ran out. So I called and cancelled it and they told me the refund could take up to 15days to go back in. 15 days is a bit excessive up to 5 I understand but 15 that is ridiculous. I have never had to make a claim so I have no opinion on that.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Don't have an accident with someone who uses RACQ Car insurance
I am the person inconvenienced by another driver who has RACQ Car insurance. It has taken over a month to finally get my car booked for repairs and now have to wait 2 weeks for my car to fixed at the mechanic. 2 weeks later I am still awaiting a refund of the first taxi I had to use between work and the mechanic when I dropped off my car. I would never use this company if this is how a person on the other sides life is effected from a crash. If I was their customer and I got such treatment I would be looking at switching providers. The only praise is I have been provided a rental car while mine is being fixed.

Easy claiming
Very easy claim from start to finish only 4 weeks. Staff were great on the phone and they put my mind at ease as this was my first ever claim in 33 years, not my fault! I was very impressed and would recommend RACQ

Don't investigate accidents to find out true cause
Recently I had an accident where the other driver should have been held at fault. RACQ did not investigate the accident correctly, despite having sent photographic evidence from the scene. They then listed me at fault and made me pay the excess to repair my vehicle. Trying to work with them, I made numerous attempts to contact them and discuss the accident for a better outcome. Some of my contact was ignored after they received my excess. The clincher is the other driver wont speak to them because they don't want to confirm they were doing something illegal which caused the accident. Not worth RACQ's premiums with so much competitive insurance companies willing to take you business! Shame on you RACQ! Boooooo

Unhappy RACQ memberSouth East Queensland, QLD
Refused a new insurance policy for a silly reason even though I have 7 current policies with them.
I have 7 RACQ insurances totalling ~$6000 per year and yet was refused a new car insurance cover because I mentioned I may be selling the car within the year.

Waste of Money! Unprofessional
I was very disappointed to RACQ patrol. Very rude, unprofessional, instead of fixing it, he broke it double the problem! You guys needs more training and pls be nice to your clients. We are the one who paying you! So pls do your job properly. We will definitely cancel our membership and find a company that will deserve our money. I was really upset! Waste of money to join here in RACQ!

Lots of different staff
One of my clients damaged my car severely. Had to ask RACQ all the questions like about a rental car etc (nothing was offered). Repair took an extra 2 weeks so I had to extend the rental. Then I was refused an extra 2 days on the rental despite my car still not being ready to be picked up.
Additionally,I was asked every time I called about my address and had to get it changed every single time. There is email evidence of an address change. Sorry guys,not good enough. Some staff were very helpful,some the complete opposite

6 week repair. Damage while at RACQ repair shop.
Avoid at all costs. Not good value in any way.
Their policy is 14 day car hire, they will tell you it will be fine and could be extended upon review but they won't. Takes the RACQ certified repairer a week to assess and a week and a half before any parts start to be ordered. Takes 14 days just to start the process! They will happily leave you high and dry without a car and expect you to deal with it. Car was also damaged and scratched while in the care of RACQ being fixed. RACQ will not care for your concerns and will not show any compassion. Please avoid, do yourselves a favour.

Simple, easy and great value
RACQ is easily the most efficient and best value car insurance company to deal with, it's just a shame they don't insure outside of Queensland.
They make the process of organising a quote online or over the phone as simple and painless as possible, and offer many standard inclusions without charging you any extra.
And their customer service is outstanding with the consistency and professionalism of the staff something I'm not used to. And another quality is they're not over the top with their sales tactics which is a pleasant change compared to some of the competition.
But best of all, you always get Australian employees in Australian call centres.

dodgy RACQ repairer
Someone reversed into our VW and there was damage to the rear bumper. Racq sent us to there "approved repairer" 20klms away. the repairer provided my partner with a car. it had smoke coming out of it and kept stopping but she was on a highway, finally it gave up the ghost and had to be recovered. she said it was dangerous and was terrified. then when we got the car back the reverse camera was not working (it was when it went there) we then took it back twice and they admitted they could not repair it. we took it to a VW dealer who said the came...Read more
ra had been removed. 10 months later after emails and phone calls and no response from RACQ or the repairer we went to the RACQ main office at 8mile plains. Racq contacted the repairer who said that model did not come with a reverse camera, unbelievable, it does. then said they hadn't touched the camera but they had it for 2 days trying to fix it. anyway they deny all responsibility. we are now contact consumer affairs and will be taking civil action against them. advice allways choose your own repairer and don't insure yourself with RACQ.Similar opinion?

Horrid phone manners.... and could not even be bothered help me!
Their Phone manner is nasty! They charge so much more than others! I ended up paying only half of Racq's prices! No more money from me! I will never be back.

First Accident with RACQ Cover
I moved over to RACQ twelve months ago because Suncorp was unable to cover my under 25 son on a couple of vehicles, I had with them. Premium wise there was little difference on the two vehicles between RACQ and Suncorp. Late June 2022, my wife unfortunately backed out of our driveway and caused damage to our vehicle and a neighbour's vehicle parked across the road.
The Claim process was completed online and I very promptly received a call from RACQ that the claim had been accepted and was provided various repair appointment times at a repaire...Read more
r relatively close to my home. I dropped the car over and it was quickly assessed and all repairs were completed within a week. There wasn't much damage but the service was really efficient. In terms of my neighbour's car their repairs hadn't been completed when I wrote this review but they have had their vehicle assessed, the repairs have been commenced and they have been provided a rental vehicle as per my policy.Similar opinion?
