Great support during a stressful time
During storms last summer, power surges blew up our fridge. I filled in an online claim and received a phone call 3 days later. My claim was accepted on my replacement cost without any resistance.

RACQ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I first joined RACQ 26 years ago for roadside assistance and years later I decided to insure my car and home and contents. By combining all of these into a package I received a discount on the cost of my policies. They also offer a loyalty discount the longer you stay with them. I have only ever made one insurance claim for damage to my house that was done on a very busy day when moving house. While moving out of the house the truck made contact with the house and a repair was needed. The day we were moving house was quite stressful and was made even more stressful by the damage done to the house. Upon ringing the RACQ the customer service was excellent. They reassured me that the damage would be repaired ASAP and the lady on the phone offered some reassuring and kind words that helped to relieve my stress. The RACQ was true to their word and they were In constant contact with me over the next few weeks and made sure the work was completed to a high standard. Because the repair was on the outside of the house I didn't even need to be present while the repair was being done which made it whole process even easier. I would highly recommend the RACQ to others. For years I plodded along with my insurance never making any claims but it's good to know that when it came down to it and the day came that I needed to make an insurance claim it was handled exceptionally well.

All repairs for both home and car claims have been
When we had hail damage to solar panels, RACQ paid replacement . Any time we have had an accident with a car the repairs had been done promptly and repaired well, no problems at all dealing with staff face to face or online, All staff have been very helpful and courteous, even when booking holidays through them!

Excellent - if you can afford them!
Our kitchen had water through it and RACQ was excellent to claim with. They followed up our complaints when the builder didn't provide an adequate assessment. Sadly, they became too expensive to continue staying with. Approximately two thousand dollars more expensive than other insurances!

Racq unethical and don’t pay
I would never recommend this company. I looked at the other reviews and I don’t believe they are kosher. All the people have written them have not had need to claim. Three years on, and Racq has still not settled a claim for my family member who had insurance with this company. When she made the claim, they told her she was not covered. Upon speaking to another insurer, they advised her to go back to Racq because she was covered under the policy. Nearly a year later, and they still have not resolved the IRD. She escalated this to the CEOs office who, promised to settle the claim in early April and still have not. She lost all her belongings and had to go into living into temporary commendation. The huge financial strain has been enormous. To date she has dealt with seven people in Racq all promising to resolve the claim and no one has. She has now received a really offensive email from the in-house solicitor who has made the claim experience extremely difficult and declared to pay out the claim she needs better pictures of all items lost and quibbling about petty amounts of money when she lost everything . He has also demonstrated very unethical behaviour. I certainly would never recommend this company after seeing what they have put my friend through. The culture of it is not to pay at any cost to their customer who pays for the insurance . She is dealing with the ceos office and like any company the culture is set at the top.
