Well, it's day 6 & my roof is repaired by yours truly. 4hrs. Some colourbond offcuts, sealant, screws, & some tar brush on stuff All from mitre10. Total cost with gst $46. + sunburn & a sore back. I have receipt. The ceiling sheet is $15 from bunnings for 2.4x1.2x10mm thick. Sheet. I expect the total repair, in & out, to be under $100 using my labour. It passed the spray pressure washer test.
So what I'm saying.... someone is making a LOT of money off everyday people for home repairs.

Called the number provided to get new smoke alarms installed in my rental property and they could not help me with a quote. Went online and provided all the information and waited for quote. Received e-mail they needed more information and had tried to call me. No missed call or message left on home phone. Called them back, waited 10 minutes until I could talk to the person who sent e-mail. He was rude and talked over me - asked me questions that were clearly stated in online application for quote. Got sick of his attitude and hung up

Lodged a claim for damages to a lounge room back in November 2020. Within the first week, tradespeople were there inspecting and I thought this is awesome, great service. And that is where it ended. After waiting on hold for up to 1 hour each time I have tried to call RACQ, I did actually manage to get through to my supposed claims manager.... once... who advised that the claim will be denied due to a building defect. I asked why and then asked for this to be reviewed, and that is the last I have heard. Were they even going to tell me or ...

Very disappointed in RACQ for not settling my claim waited 25 mins on hold just to speak to someone only to be told my damaged fridge will not be covered because of a technicality. Contents are covered while in transit (moving truck), but as it was loaded onto the truck it fell and since the truck was stationary they would not cover it. Been with RACQ for two years and no claims at all, but the one time I needed to rely on them, they failed. Do yourself a favour and don't waste your money with RACQ! What if you have a larger claim, be very cautious.

We suffered minor hail damage last month to our patio cover and the solar hot water on the house roof. RACQ came up with a good settlement payout to fix the patio cover that matched my Stratco quote but for some strange reason they are now refusing to fix the solar hot water system on the house roof because they say the patio cover no longer meets building regulations. This is the same patio cover they gave me a payout to fix and it has no more to do with the hot water collector than the oven. Very very strange. I am happy with the payout and c...

This was such a disappointing experience. RACQ home insurance product and service has gone down hill big time. The service levels from the operator, Rani, was rude and uncaring. Each time I called about the claim I had to wait a minimum of 30 minutes and up to 58 minutes. Be aware that they expect you to have photos and valuations on just about everything or they wont pay out! Not sure how you are supposed to be expected to keep proof of purchase of jackets after 5 years. Maybe we need to start taking photos of every single item of clothi...

Had inspection by JCG Building Services for leak in shower. They went back to RACQ and falsely told them it was a DIY and denied. Disputed but denied. Also way too expensive. Finally swapping to another insurer and saving over $800 a year on both full comprehensive car insurance and home and contents insurance. Funny thing is they paid out a friend's claim for a leak pipe from their laundry without question and that would have cost them at least double of my claim. My friend got a beautiful new modern kitchen, new updated laundry, moved an int...

I am in Queensland - I have been trying to have my claimed settled since April 2020 following a hail storm with tennis ball size hail in Rockhampton. Initially, I was advised by RACQ chosen assessor, they could find No hail damage. Recently, I took time off work to gather more evidence (at my own expense for travel to Rockhampton, accommodation and meals which should be reimbursed), speaking to local builders, Rockhampton Regional Council Building Engineer and local roofers. I took more than 350 photographs of hail dents in that roof as I step...

RACQ member and policy holder 41 years - Household building claim. (Hail damage) The company used a contract builder and wanted to cash settle. Absolute crap cover!
Refused point blank. They appointed a second builder who had to be reminded of what was wrong and the damaged items. Then came the scope of works. Then the contract and surprise there were items missing from the scope of works. So many arguments and weeks wasted with this useless insurance company and their opprobrious staff that tell circumloquacious tales as excuses and are capricious in their treatment of a policy holder let alone a member. Well I have an incorrect scope of works and a contract to sign? Tried every human tactic to deal with these morons. What next?

Put a claim in for storm damage to roof and internal damage water damage to ceilings. Put th ee the winger external investigation etc , hold ups ,loss of reports etc in mean time house getting more damage. Treated like a criminal thru out process. Been with RACQ for years . Golden member of RACQ.

I have made one claim with RACQ in 20 years. I have seen adds for RACQ insurance and the reality is far from the actual insurance process.
No one from RACQ visits. They send out contractors who can be rude, penny pinching and in some instances do a below par job. The claim took over 4 months to resolve. My issue is that RACQ are supposed to be member focused - RACQ insurance is not.
Beware I'd consider other options before committing.

Lodged a claim for storm damage to Solar Panels(failed seal allowing water ingress due to storm event) at the beginning of the year. Supplied a quote from local electrical company, the RACQ claims manager advises that its three times what it should be. Straight of the bat, I knew the claim was going to be rejected from the case managers attitude. They send out an independent assessor who advises me that it is definitely faulting due to damage from all the storm events that have occurred and recommended replacement of the system. The report goes...

We lodged a claim in February for water damage to our kitchen. It is now June and still not fixed. It has been a complete nightmare back and forward with insurance builder and getting someone here. That much of a hassle would have been quicker to do it ourselves, But I would like to think that when you pay for insurance and need to use it, they help you out. this was our first ever claim and our last changing Insurance providers for sure!!

In December 2018 my girlfriend and I were victims of A theft from a secured locker at Southbank swimming area.
My girlfriend received compensation from her Suncorp which was her insurance company Suncorp settles without any hassles while RACQ drove me into greater despair with demanding receipts and all sorts of useless information that I didn’t have at hand.
I wasn’t able to get any information from Southbank security or QPS who just gave me an absolute runaround when I tried to get CCTV footage of the incident they had and a copy of the QPS ...

Very happy and long term customer of RACQ.
My wife and I have all of our insurance policies with RACQ.
Due to the COVID19 pandemic, we found ourselves out of work and minimising our outgoings.
RACQ were sympathetic and made arrangements to lessen the financial burden of our policies. Very competent and friendly staff and we’ll remain loyal customers of RACQ.

I lodged my claim mid March this year under Home and Contents for accidental and unrestorable carpet damage, claim validated straightaway after investigation & Cash settlement has been agreed upon, it is understood that due to Covid 19 pandemic a delay is inevitable like a domino effect. Finally claim settlement granted last week.

Policy was easy to set up, the additional premium for home accident covering carpet damage is 100% an awesome feature of the H& C insurance, the agent made a good explanation on this.

No stress on the claim proce...

Our house was burgled in mid February 2020. Repairs to house are underway, albeit slowly, but it is the failure to finalise the contents claim which is so frustrating. RACQ Insurance has had all the information, to our knowledge, for the best part of the last 8 weeks. It is now 10 weeks since the burglary occurred, how much longer for them to attend to and finalise what is in reality a very straightforward claim.

It is a waste of money. Not useful, not helpful. My neighbour maliciously damaged my window glass, but because my excess is higher than the repair, the insurance won't do anything to cover my loss.

Facts upstairs shower leaked into downstairs ceiling is when first noticed rang claims was told shower repair not covered but resultant damage was. Racq trades concluded shower had leaked ok we have to fix that not a problem as it was a first instance leak. But then later on say claim denied its in the print. $3000 to repair fully the shower but now say not the resultant damage, very poor and yoy never know about insurance till you need it.
I had their trades insurance as well on another property and tenant advised leak from taps emergency i would think no they wouldnt send a tradie out said not covered bit of a joke

We have made several claims through RACQ over the years. And on every occasion they have covered our claims without delay. I cannot fault them for service and knowledge over the phone
