I had been an NRMA customer decades ago, but left due to rising premium costs. Out of curiosity, I recently obtained a number of home & contents insurance quotes, including NRMA. Surprisingly, NRMA... See more

Your staff are very helpful, however some of your critical systems are hopeless!
I took out a policy on a vehicle at a shop front office one day. The following day, after realising that my existing policy expired days before the new one starts, I phoned to move the policy forward by days. No problem, I was told, but they would have to cancel the original policy and issue a new one. Again, no problem, however, even though the new policy was identical except starting 4 days earlier, the quote was significantly different (7.3%), fortunately to my benefit.
Here's where the problems began. Although the consultant was very helpful, the computer system couldn't cope with transferring the funds from the first policy to the second, then refunding me the balance. Either that, or the system was "experiencing technical difficulties ". Either way, the matter could not be resolved then and there.
The assistant very kindly offered to sort it out and ring me back the next day. This she did, however I missed the call. When I called back on the number given, the worst problem emerged. I was put through to some generic call centre, who, though trying to help, knew nothing about the matter, and could not put me in touch with the first assistant, who had sorted everything out.
This is the real problem. How is it not possible to allocate some reference number to get me back to the officer WHO RANG ME and was familiar with the matter, and who had resolved it, pending my approval.
As it was, I was on the phone for probably over an hour, mostly on hold, to get the matter resolved, though not completely satisfactorily.
My point is, create a system that allows me to get back to the SAME OFFICER, who rang me 2 minutes earlier.
It doesn't seem like that should be too difficult, and in addition to not wasting my time, your call centre officer would not have had to waste an hour of her valuable time.
Again, the problem is your systems, not your staff.
I fully expect this comment to be ignored, however I would be pleased to receive advice that a "fix" has been implemented. I'm not holding my breath!

Don't stand by their lifetime warranty on repairs guarantee, waited 10 months for the car to be re-inspected with the assessor just never showing up. Given the run around for months, wasted hours on the phone. Car was unsafe to drive following repairs, broken down due to parts not being replaced with the vehicle needing to be towed and my father stranded. Have had no option but to sell the car with a huge financial loss. Will be reporting to the ACCC and won't be insuring any future vehicles with NRMA.

Wasted an hour of my life on the chat line trying to obtain a quote for home and contents insurance.Eventually I was told to call 132132 to obtain my quote and I was amazed to be answered straight away ( which is rare these days ) by a young lady who so helpful ,caring and knowledgeable. I am 74 and can remember when this was the norm .

Spoke to Michael on the phone and could not be happier with the help he gave me. I did shop around many years ago but was not happy with the service I received and been back with NRMA for a fair while now with all our policies and have no intension of changing ever again.

They will make there claims decision on the basis of assumption and its really hard to communicate with them. If you will even email the details they will ask you 10-15 times again but if your will revert 1 day later they will email you stating we will close the case as you have not reverted. Please pay $5 extra and join another insurance company.

When I rang, I had a young lady that was very attentive, very well informed, very patient and extremely helpful.
I saved money by returning to NRMA and having all my cars, house, caravan and trailer all in one bundle! I was honestly very impressed and it’s nice to be able to say that about an insurance company🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

I'm very happy with my policies on vehicles and a horse trailer. Very competitive pricing. Easy dealings over the phone so far. Have recommended to friend who will most likely save at least 1ķ over what she's paying until now

Zero urgency to get anything done in the claim process. Nobody enjoys dealing with claims and you hope your insurer supports and handles this for you. They make zero progress on the claim unless you call and then none again until you call weeks later. My vehicle has been with them for two months and there is no update.

Mandy at the Tuggerah branch is always on the ball and so very helpful as are her staff . I wont deal with with online or phone quotes but face to face is my preference due to proper customer service and advice. We have 9 policies with NRMA and always check competitors but return to NRMA.

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!

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.

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.
