RACV Car Insurance

RACV roadside assistance was horrible especially with the tow truck. They asked me to write for 90 mins for the tow truck to come and I have been waiting for 120 mins for the tow truck to come as my car has broken down. I feel so horrible waiting for 2 hours. RACV roadside service was really horrible. I feel very disappointed and upset indeed with RACV. I think RACV can do better than this. Hope they can improve.

We had two cars damaged in a hail storm in Melbourne one insured with RACV the other with another provider.
RACV has been unable to contact or have a return phone call for looking periods and thier repairer is also poor in comparison for service.

I absolutely love Racv for my car insurance. 1 phone call to them... all was arranged including hire car and taxi!!!
Can't say enough good words about this service. The racv operator took care of everything. So from a bad experience... person who hit my car....to a fantastic finish. Can't thank Racv enough.

I was involved in an accident with an RACV customer who Reversed into my car and hit it. He has admitted liability but each phone call is well over an hour wait on hold.

I am currently on the phone now waiting on hold for 1hr 20 mins

Been an RACV member and have multiple insurance policies for many years.
Had accident and car repairs completed with RACV Accredited car repairer returned car on multiple times still not fixed correctly try to provide feedback directly to RACV on the bad service and the follow up provided by their Underwriter IAG. Told to contact IAG directly to provide feedback to them.
Try to tell RACV the issue they wont listen!

Car accident mid October and my vehicle is still not fixed. No response from IAG claims which work on behalf of RACV. No back up on post repair warranty. Neil Taylor CEO is unavailable to members and therefore doesn't know the full story

I have had car insurance with RACV for many years. I rang RACV to lodge a claim for hail damage. Whilst waiting a very long time and getting message after message about claiming on line, I started to try to claim on line. After going to the web site it would not connect. Just kept spining. It still is while I write this. When finally being answered, the person could not spell my name or recognise when I spelt my name. It took several timest to get it correct. He could also not understand my date of birth. When we finally got through all that, he could not find my policy. He said he would transfer me back to RACV. He put me back into another telephone queue!!!! Last time I will insure with RACV

Tried to purchase a policy for new car already have several policies. Website wasn't working and couldn't complete payment. Called to do it over the phone....took over an hour and they were saying the quote that I had been provided online was incorrect and that the premium should be higher.

My car died on the morning of a planned trip, which I subsequently had to cancel. Called RACV Roadside service. Service man was out to me within 30 minutes. Decided it was my battery, he organised for RACV Battery service to attend. 35 minutes later the guy was here. I was given options but chose to just replace the battery. My Ford Kuga is the type that turns the engine off when the car is not moving. The service guy carried the Ford Kuga battery but not the specific one for this type of car. He moved heaven and earth to get the correct battery fitted to my car that day so I could go on my trip the next day.
Well done to RACV and the lovely guy who helped me.

Went with RACV because it was a trusted company since my childhood. Car was hit whilst parked and we reported it to RACV. It took 6 weeks for them to send an assessor after presenting our car to our preferred repairer. It took a further 3 weeks of them haggling with the repairer about price. RACV contacted us and said we should seek another repairer, Got an independent company to assess the car figure was $4900 our repairer $5100, RACV contacted us and said they would give us half $2500 and if we didn't like it we could take it up with AFCA and it would take a long time so we should take the money. Four months later car still unrepaired still waiting on AFCA feels like being held to ransom, car still damaged (unroad worthy)

these people giving us really a hard time my car was stolen 9/12/2019 and still case hasnt been sorted out however they hired the investigator and they investigated on us for no reasons last week i asked these staffs no see my car but they said still investigations is going on and we have no right to see the car... seriously u guys deserved big *******g zero ratings out of 10 get a life u all people

After getting a small shunt in the rear, my car needed repair. Because I did not ask all my questions at the time of lodging a claim, it was extremely difficult to get answers to additional questions. My emails were not replied to and eventually I was forced to lengthy phone calls. My chief question was "could they provide me with a repairer that had more than a 1 star rating?" No proper answers were given. I was eventually directed to a list of repairers and I needed to spend much time working out the best from a bad lot, for my area.

The final repair seems satisfactory, but I suspect this is primarily due to my diligence.

In November 2022 I had a no fault minor accident. Within minutes I was on the phone to RACV claims and was able to take the car to the approved repairer. Repairer was helpful and professional and as I was not at fault and provided details of the other party I had access to a replacement car for the duration of the repair. The repairer was great and the car was returned pronto. Incidentally the repairer suggested avoiding Youi like the plague as no reputable repairer will deal with them due to the pathetically low rates they will pay repairers. Mind you I needed no encouragement to avoid Youi
