Pros and Cons of RAC Travel Insurance

How do I make a claim with RAC Travel Insurance?

1. Give immediate notice. Get in touch with the insurer as soon as possible to report the incident and file a claim. You can download the claims form from the RAC website or submit your claim online on the Travel Insurance Partners website. Penalties may be levied against you if you wait too long and deliberately delay the process.

2. Supply all necessary documentation. Besides your Claims form and Certificate of Insurance, you will also need to produce police reports, medical reports, receipts and proof of ownership.

3. Duty of disclosure. Your travel insurance policy will be granted or refused based on the information you provide. It’s important to be as honest and complete as possible in answering questions. If your information is found to be false or incomplete, any claims will be rejected and your policy may be cancelled.

RAC Travel Insurance FAQ

Q. Why is travel insurance so important?

• A. If something goes wrong before or during your holiday, you are liable for thousands of dollars in medical bills, transportation costs and replacing valuable items. With travel insurance in place, the costs incurred in these cases would be covered by the terms of your contract.

Q. How is my premium calculated?

• A. The amount you pay is based on your destination, the number of people insured on the policy, the plan you choose and personal factors. The amount also includes government taxes and fees for changes you make to the terms of your policy.

Q. Which domestic options are available?

• A. You can choose between three options: full domestic cover, a plan covering rental vehicle excess or a domestic cancellation plan. Rental vehicle excess and cancellation are automatically covered under the international policies.

Q. Which additional options are available?

• A. Policies can be upgraded with additional cover, including increasing your excess to lower your premium. Optional extras can be bought to insure electronic equipment, riding a moped or motorcycle and snow sports.

Q. What about pre-existing medical conditions?

• A. Not all pre-existing medical conditions are automatically covered, so be sure to read the product disclosure statement (PDS). If your condition isn’t covered, you can apply for additional insurance, subject to the insurer’s approval.

Q. Who underwrites RAC Travel Insurance?

• A. RAC travel insurance is underwritten by Great Lakes Reinsurance.

Q. Can I cancel my RAC Travel insurance policy if I’m not happy with it?

• A. You have a cooling-off period of 15 working days during which you can change your mind about whether or not you want the policy. If cancelled during this period, you will receive a full refund.
