Over five months for RACV to fix. My vehicle

published

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

Try to claim

published

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

perfect service

published

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.

You dare make a claim

published

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)

Communication most difficult

published

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.

Reasonable Price and Great Service

published

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

Worst Customer Service, inflexible and unwilling to help

published

Rang in to get a quote for a customer. $360 more than AAMI's policy for exactly the same product. Random $13 per month administration fees for nothing just monthly payment fee.
Manager totally unhelpful & rigid. Did not price match, did not help out with waiving admin fee. Really expensive policy for no risk client & car. KIRSTEN from Member Experience not even willing to budge at all. I know there is functionality to help clients and she did not even want to entertain the idea to get an annual policy through with RACV. Lost a customer and a very bad experience in general.

Completely ridiculous service in quality and customer service

published

Even after One and half months of the accident they were unable to fix my car. Already 2 times went to their repairer. Corrupt and rude behaviour. Please avoid RACV, not good anymore. I requested three times to customer care that please I need to talk to senior person. But looks like they got one and only accessor who is RACV itself.

Repair over a month and still more delays

published

Had an accident, waited 5 business days for the repairer to be given the okay. Then told it would take 2 weeks for it to done. Then a week later they pushed the date out to another week. Nearing the completion time pushed out for another 2 weeks. Called RACV and was told nothing they could do and it was out of their hands. HORRIBLE insurer, the staff are incompetent and have a don't care attitude.

Car Insurance

Why is it everytime I do an online quote for RACV home and contents insurance lately a box appears saying I must give at least 1 owners details when I have already put in my own details as the owner???
Considering I am the 1 and only owner, I shouldn't be FORCED into clicking on a box to say there is a 2nd [non-existing owner] just to proceed to the next stage. Out of interest, when I did click on "another owner" [just to move ahead] the quote re-calculates at a higher premium than first one given.
I rang RACV today to rectify the issue and the girl just replied oh it shouldn't do that. When I offered to email the proof to her from my saved quote she wasn't even interested to see it.
Hence I suspect she knows and it's simply just another insurance ploy to raise prices to the dumb consumer.
Oh and btw I did email "care" but received a generic reply saying ring RACV [haha that got nowhere] and now no response whatsoever.
Are all insurance companies deceptive in their dealings?
I am thinking about contacting ACCC as quote does not allow for 1 single owner and quote figures change quite dramatically.
My membership is 4190443.
