Alternatively, you can claim on your RACQ travel insurance policy over the phone, by calling 1300 207 371 or +61 2 8055 1696.
RACQ's Premium international policy offers a great range of benefits, including an impressive $10,000 limit for insolvency, $10 million for legal liability, and unlimited emergency expenses.
Members also enjoy additional perks such as discounted pet boarding, car hire, and even movie tickets.
One of the few drawbacks for RACQ policies is the $3,500 cap on COVID-19 related claims (with the exception of medical, emergency and funeral.) While this may be more than enough for some travellers, it may fall short for others.
