- Private use only.
- It must be in good repair and conditon and meet the registration requirements of your state or territory.
Always read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) to understand the specific coverage, exclusions and limitations of your insurance before signing up for a policy.
What exclusions are there?
As with all insurance policies, there are a number of exclusions you need to keep in mind when selecting your cover. These include loss, damage or death as a result of:
- General depreciation (rust, corrosion, mold, wear and tear, etc.)
- Natural events (unless mentioned in your policy) and animals (vermin, insects, birds, etc)
- Illegal use or lawful seizure
- Acts of terrorism, riot, civil commotion or war
- Faulty design or workmanship
- Mechanical, structural or electrical failure
- Failure to secure your on-site caravan, touring caravan, annex or trailer, or leaving it in an unsafe position

- Repairs to old damage
- Incidents that occur outside the policy
- Loss of value of your on-site caravan, touring caravan, annex or trailer
- The cost of fixing faulty repairs
- Tyre damage caused by road cuts, punctures, bursts or braking

What excess do I need to pay?
An excess is the amount you contribute towards the cost of your claim. There are 3 types of excesses:
- Basic
- Age (touring caravan only)
- Hail or cyclone (not applicable for Tasmania).
The type of excess you need to pay depends on what you are claiming. For example, when you make a claim for loss or damage caused by hail or a cyclone, you must pay a hail or cyclone excess in addition to the basic excess. Your certificate of insurance will show the amount and types of excess that apply to your policy. A claim is only accepted if the total amount you are claiming for is more than any excesses that apply to your claim.
How do I make a claim?
You make a claim in three simple steps:
- Collect details if they apply to the incident, such as: full name, residential address, contact number for all drivers involved, make, model, registration number and insurance details for the vehicles.
- Lodging your claim via the NRMA Insurance website: nrma.com.au/claims or calling the 7 days-a-week/24-hour claims line: 131 123
