Extremely poor service

published

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.

A fantastic service!!!

published

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.

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

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.

Unethical

published

2 cars on 1 policy as suggested by RACV sales. First time driver has a dumb accident and drives one car into the other. Double excess + an unrealistic market value resulted in $2500 back on the car valued at $7000. Totally hoodwinked by some creative actuary work. Absolute rip and one for the ombudsman.
