Any catches?
RACV Contents Insurance does not offer underinsurance protection on your contents. This means that if you have undervalued your belongings, you will only be paid the sum insured amount on the item. To avoid this, it’s recommended to always insure your item to its total replacement value.
Also, you should be aware that while you can pay your premium on a monthly basis, you will have to pay extra for this.
