If your scheduled appointment is coming up, please let us know about your situation and we can reschedule your repairs. If you’ve already dropped off your car (or other vehicle) but you’re not able to collect it from us, please get in touch with us to discuss your options.
Please make a claim online or over the phone as you usually would. We’ll then be able to let you know about the next steps and organise a suitable repairer as required.
The time it will take for your repairs depends on a number of factors, including:
- What kind of repairs your car needs
- Your repairer and their current workload
- Whether there’s a delay in the supply of any parts your car might need
Please speak to your recommended repairer before you drop off your car to get an idea of whether your repair may take longer than normal.
Yes, if your level of cover includes towing, we can still provide towing to a safe location. Contact us on 13 17 03 so we can arrange this for you.
Home insurance FAQs
This section covers questions related to building, contents, renter’s, landlord’s and personal valuables insurance cover you might have.
Any impact on your RAC Building and Contents insurance policy you hold with us will depend on your situation:
- If you’re working from home in a home office or surgery, there is no need to let us know.
- If you’re now using part of your home or building for the purpose of a business, trade or profession that we don’t yet know about, it’s important to call us and let us know.
- If your home or building is now being used to distribute products or for an occupation that carries stock (including jewellery or a gold merchant), the stock you have is not covered by your home building or contents insurance. Please get in touch to discuss your circumstances.
If you’re not sure about what may or may not be covered by your current home building and/or contents insurance policy now that you’re working from home, it’s best to get in touch with us to discuss your situation.
No, generally you don’t need to tell us. We only need to know if you’re working from home and now using part of your home for a business, trade or profession other than a home office or surgery.
If you have RAC Contents Insurance, you are covered for up to $5,000 for your home office or surgery equipment. However, if your office is used to store or distribute products for sale, or for an occupation that carries stock (including jewellery or a gold merchant), the stock you have is not covered.
If you’re not sure about work equipment which might or might not be covered by your current home insurance policy, please get in touch with us to discuss your situation.
If you have RAC Contents Insurance, any contents which have been provided to you or your family as part of a written employment contract will be covered against the usual insured events up to a limit of $5,000. You’ll find this information in your product disclosure statement.
Your usual contents cover will also extend to equipment you are leasing, for example if you’re leasing a laptop from a rental company.
No, your rent is not covered by your RAC Contents or Renter’s insurance if you’re not able to pay. We understand this is an extremely difficult time for many of our members and we recommend you speak with your landlord if you’re in this situation.
No, this is not covered by your RAC Building or Contents insurance.
