RAA Car Insurance

I initially took out my policy with $500 excess and was told that an additional excess would apply for my age 22 (I don’t see why considering I hold a full licence). I’ve recently had an accident and I’ve had to make a claim and they have slapped me with $2000 excess. They said because I went on a good behaviour bond 5 years ago $1000 it was added. I went through all of the documents they sent and this WAS NOT LISTED anywhere including on my Online Account. The total work itself is almost $2000. Absolute disgrace, how deceitful.

I had kept a comprehensive policy with RAA for many years. They recently raised the vehicle premium by a large amount. I had never made a claim on this vehicle or on the other 2 policies I kept with RAA. When we cancelled the policy it was just past the renewal date and unlike other companies RAA doesn't refund unwanted insurance, but the insurance policy does stay active until the end of the monthly policy period. There are currently better companies to spend your money on.

EDIT: One month on from the original review and RAA has charged my account for another month for this cancelled insurance policy. I've now had to waste my time calling them to demand they return the money they have illegally withdrawn from my account.

I paid $300for full car inspection. It came back with excellent results.was told to go ahead and buy the car..3days later the head was cracked.. how can someone miss a major problem like this...I've been a member for many years and this is beyond believable...angry as crap !!!

We are waiting to cancel our policy. We have been told the car was written off, after refusing the initial offer of settlement (we could not replace our car for the amount offered) the assessor changed his mind and agreed to raise the price.
After 5 weeks with no car he then decided to investigate if the car would be worth fixing.
I have had to continually call and be shunted from one department to another we are now nearly 7 weeks in and waiting for a settlement.
Would never use them again!!!!

I am a gold member with RAA insurances, i have multiple policies with them, never made a claim in 25 years, and they have raised all their premiums and also raised their excesses, time for change, bad customer service.

disgusted bought car 2020 for $11000 had agreed value comprehensive 1 year later i checked my policy they dropped my agreed value to $5000 Told them where do they think I can find a Terriory 2009 limited edition perfectly straight no damage at all very low ks for that price what a joke switched to Shannons so glad it did

RAA sent our motor vehicle renewal it had a big increase of 33% with no claims made in the period of insurance. I went ahead cancelled my insurance policy effective that day as I found a cheaper insurer with same level of cover. Still had 3 weeks left until our renewal due to expire i decided just to cancel immediately as I had placed cover elsewhere. Advised they DON'T offer refunds for monthly premiums paid. Our refund should of been around $60.
Please keep this in mind!

I had the unfortunate experience in having my Caravan written off due to an accident. The assessor stopped his holidays just to assess our loss due to the sum of the claim. The call takers in every department were friendly, courteous and very helpful. In just 3 working days, the payout was in my bank account. Can not speak more highly of the cover or customer service.

I’ve been a member of the RAA for 10 years with home and contents insurance, car insurance and roadside assist, they have helped me more times then I can count. I could not be happier with the service they provide, their staff are so friendly and helpful, their prices are very fair. They genuinely care about their customers. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Call centre staff need training in how to LISTEN to a customer and not assume they know what they are going to say and talk over the top of them. I politely asked if I could speak THREE times and was talked over each and every time!!! All I was trying to do was update my payment details!!! Terrible customer service. SO RUDE.

Good price and FANTASTIC service. I can't speak more highly enough about RAA Car Insurance. Over the years I have gone to a number of insurers, and whilst RAA might be slightly higher, the quality of their service has always been 10/10.

DO NOT use RAA if your car is a new car, or very new car, or expensive car within/around warranty, RAA NOT cover your car with original/genuine classes if your car's glasses damaged even brand new car according to RAA policy!! You must know this. RAA has a special deal with Obrian, RAA only give you off market glasses, NOT your car original glasses. Horrible company, no star.

Raa member for over 40 years, disgusted with how motor accident claim handled. Shunted between policy and claims staff who don't seem to talk to each other. Lost track after staff member no 20, excessively long waits on telephone, no direct number or "case manager" as alluded to. Went into RAA Adelaide, to talk to somebody in person, told had to ring up!. One female particularly annoying. Went to make complaint, got directed to same person even though addressed to male manager.
Ironically, met another lady who had similar claim, and same...

dont buy this insurance they will find any reason to not help you out... especially if you're a traveler (non permanent resident). we were given false information on the phone so we would buy a premium account but when we came into motorbike issues we were stranded with zero benefits.

RAA agreed to the value of $17500 but only want to pay $10620 on my claim. They offered me $8000, then $10620 and now it's back at $8000. I have been called a liar in a letter, told me fauls information on evidence, told me no matter how much you spend on a car all premiums are the same, told me that I have to sort the difference of payout with the dealer I brought car from that it's not their issue and are changing their rembursment offer. Everyone I talk to tells me something different, there is nothing to this that makes sense. I will never use RAA again. 3 months later, no car and still fighting to have my claim accepted. They have started a new policy and charge me $73.33 per month and I don't even have a car
