Can I claim after my initial payment?

Hi there,
Does NRMA comprehensive insurance cover a rental car in the USA?
Thanks Martin…
Hi Marty,
Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, you will not be covered by your NRMA insurance while driving overseas. However, a travel insurance policy would cover you for driving while overseas. Please have a look at travel insurance guide to the USA.

Hi, I have a question about some information that was given to me by a friend and I just wanted to confirm if it is correct! I would like to know if NRMA has anything to do with SWANN INSURANCE? if they have a partnership?
Would really appreciate the feedback.
Thanks
Hi Natasha,
Thanks for your question. Both Swann Insurance and NRMA are part of the insurance group IAG.
Cheers,
Richard
Hi thank you for answering my question, but I am still not understanding. What do you mean by Swann and NRMA are part of an insurance group IAG?
Thank you
Hi Natasha,
IAG is a multinational insurance company, and both NRMA and Swann are subsidiaries. If you would like to read about the company history, check on IAG website.

Hi, I would like to ask that how much extra cost I have to pay if I upgrade my Comprehensive insurance with 14 days car hire to Comprehensive Plus Car Insurance with unlimited car hire option.
Looking forward to receiving your reply.
Hi Min,
Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, finder.com.au is a comparison website and so I am unable to give you a definitive answer as to how much it would cost to upgrade your policy. However, if you would like to get in contact with the NRMA, one of their consultants will be able to give you an answer.
You can contact them either by phone on 132 132 or via email by following this link and submitting your question on their contact us page.
I hope this was helpful,

I just got a car insurance policy which I chose to pay annually. Now I want to shift to the monthly payment. How can I know the monthly installment amount so that I can make a final decision.
Hi Susan,
Thanks for your question.
Unfortunately we don’t have access to any personal information related to NRMA accounts.
Please speak to the customer service team at NRMA Car Insurance to find out what your monthly payments could potentially be.
Cheers,
Shirley
