NRMA always there when you need them

NRMA is a business you can trust. They re thorough and extremely helpful. I’ve been with them for 28 years. Never have I experienced anyone that was not very helpful. I had a house fire in 2019. In a matter of half an hour my husband and twin 2yer olds were homeless. NRMA organised a hotel and the process with them was flawless and easy. I always recommend NRMA to anyone. I’m very thankful for their insurance, kind and helpful staff and having a branch in a small town. It is super helpful that they have a branch in my small town. All my insurance is with the. Thank you!

NRMA have ruined my car and charged me a $1,000 excess for the privilege!

My wife recently had an accident and despite being advised that our car would be fixed within 2-3 weeks, it actually took them 2 months to get it back to us. That was frustrating and the communication was non-existent, however the real issue is that when we finally got the car back, it had scratches all down the passenger side, which were not there on the day of the accident. I have flagged this to NRMA and they are refusing to accept liability as we cannot prove how they got there, even though it has been out of our custody for 9 weeks. I have taken the car to a local smash repairer and the damage is estimated to be around $5,000, not to mention the shoddy job that was done on buffing the bonnet (which had to be fixed due to the accident) which will also have to be redone by a more reliable repairer. For a company that claims that they only work with the best and provide top quality work, the repairs and the experience was low budget and unprofessional at best. It took them two months to get my car back to me and even then, it’s come out looking worse than when it went in and I am left with the bill. Customer for 10+ years by the way……

I went to NRMA to assist an elderly gentleman who could not speak English well. Right from the beginning, the staff at the Merrylands Stocklands branch were intune with our needs. They tried to assist as much as they could, whilst sticking to policy. Huyen was super helpful and Leah at the front desk was really nice and helpful. No where else have I seen such service. Keep up the great work ladies.

No value provided by NRMA for 47 years membership

After 47 years membership & always renewing at the ever increasing price I was given across EVERY policy. That is 5 motor vehicles & 3 residential properties, a friend said "go on line & get a quote". Bingo a $1500.00 difference on one MV renewal straight away.

Asked for an email copy to be sent

Asked for an email copy to be sent, was told no worries.
Said that I was registering the car that day, so I need the email.
No worries.
Nothing arrived.
3 days later still nothing.
4th phone call, was told my email was not selected, so it will take another 24hrs to recieve my documents.
Meanwhile car is still not registered.
Unusually poor service from NRMA/IAG.
Not what I am accustomed to.

A Great Result!

Super friendly, helpful and professional staff members! ... I created 2 new insurance quotes (CTP + Comprehensive) online. These were converted to actual policies over the phone. I was offered 10% + 5% discounts for initiating these policies online including qualifying for a multi-policy discount! A few discrepancies were corrected (we're human!) including a request from me for a start direct debit date change were all carried out with a smile. Happy to know that we have an actual NRMA branch in town (Inverell NSW 2360) if needed!

We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to the team; they’ll be thrilled to hear your feedback. And we’re especially happy that having a local NRMA branch in Inverell gives you that extra peace of mind.

I have been a member of NRMA for over…

I have been a member of NRMA for over 10 years. I always an honest when filling in my information in terms of vehicle use, kilometres travelled, where the vehicle is stored etc. I went to renew my policy to find by switching my gender from male to non binary saves me 25% on my premium. In the 10 years I have been a member, a 25% reduction in my premium has never been on the cards. This is all with the SAME driving history, same address, same number of claims, same everything… all a part from updating my gender.
I’m perplexed how this makes such as difference.
Yes, I understand, statistics, inclusion etc are part of what NRMA are trying to achieve but a 25% all because of identifying as Non Binary…. Why not be fair to the average person NRMA - I don’t know how I have become a safer driver by declaring I’m non binary

Really disappointing

Our tenants moved out and left the house filthy. They also damaged the kitchen and bathroom. NRMA told us we would have to lodge two separate claims for repairs, each with an excess of $1,100, and that they also required 4 weeks' rent (the bond). We tried to explain much of the bond was gone due to cleaning costs, and we did not have the $4000 plus dollars required to even get the claims process started. Communication was also really poor, in that we had to chase information and updates. It felt as though there wasn't much motivation to support us and find solutions. In the end, we just gave up.

Thanks to NRMA roadside assistants Ali

Thanks to NRMA roadside assistants Ali, & trainee Sarmad for today's battery replacement.

Due to car being my elderly aunts they prioritise to come asap and my aunt was very appreciative of the speed of service.

Also manager Ozzy arrived I assume to oversee the trainee. he was also very kind and offered good information also. Ali kept us updated on their goings on while changing battery. All very respectful and friendly. Thank you

Dont touch NRMA Insurance

We were involved in an accident with an NRMA insured driver over 4 months ago. The at fault driver admitted liability and lodged a claim with her insurer (NRMA). Since this time we have been endlessly stuffed around and ultimately ghosted by NRMA Insurance claims Department, which is now based somewhere in Asia. Significant damage has been done to our vehicle through no fault of our own and now NRMA think that we will just go away if they continue to ignore us.I have started asking around and found that this tactic is now widespread with NRMA so therefore suggest that anyone thinking of insuring anything don't do so with NRMA. We have now had to refer our claim to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority to try & seek a resolution. NRMA are a disgrace!!

Ever increasing premium, lack of loyalty

I was frustrated with the continuous increase in premiums last year and again this year. We have been members for 47 yrs and I do not feel that they show me any loyalty so why should I. I have had just one other quote this year which was $750 less for the same product or at least an equivalent product.

Hi Brett, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I’m really sorry to hear how frustrated you’ve been feeling, especially after being with us for 47 years. That’s a long time to place your trust in us, and we never want you to feel that loyalty isn’t recognised.
We understand how disappointing premium increases can be. Over the past few years, Australia has seen a significant rise in severe weather events, along with higher repair and claims costs across the industry. These pressures unfortunately impact premiums for all insurers, but we know that doesn’t make the experience any less frustrating.
I’d really like to take a closer look at your policy and see what we can do to help.

Thieves and liars

I wanted to update the address on my policy as I have recently moved, yet the online form was showing an increase in the policy payments as opposed to what should have been a decrease as outlined by their risk factors. Calling the number provided put the increase at an even higher rate than what the website showed!

Apparently living in an area with a lower crime rate and putting your vehicle behind a locked garage means your car is at a higher risk than the previous location with a higher crime rate and being left out in the open in a carport. This is ridiculous and goes against everything they describe what determines the overall premium amount.

Edit: It seems they don't bother reading reviews before giving a scripted response either.

Hi Seneeki, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback, we understand how disappointing this must have been, especially when you were expecting a decrease.
Premiums are reviewed at renewal using historical statistical data from multiple sources, including council information, police and claims data, and are based on a combination of factors such as location, weather exposure, traffic conditions, claims experience and crime rates. While changes like a different address or secure parking can influence risk, the overall premium reflects the combined risk profile, which means it doesn’t always lead to a reduction.
