CLEAR AWAY FROM THEM. They've moved to iga from the backoffice and they're making a havoc out of everything. Absolutely rude staff, holding you up on the line for 18 minutes to do nothing for you. Just wasting your valuable money and time. Steer clear from NRMA.
I didn’t realise that NRMA still had family owned franchises. To say it was amazing is an understatement. As I believe in NRMA and have been a long term customer for over 35 years . I am so grateful that I called my local store and got a lovely lady called Margaret that was fantastic she quoted answered all our questions made our policy fit us and we signed up straight away not going anywhere else . Thank you Margaret and thank you NRMA . There’s nothing better than family and Knowing your protected .
They are making it easy by trusting their customers too do the right thing being safe by not having too pay alot of money on the spot I have being able too comprehensive insure many cars an pay less with discounts and will always ensure with nrma I Evan remember years ago people got free shares just by being a member thank you for making it easy
We are all just numbers now. What was a great Australian icon that employed Australians is now more concerned with profit over customer service. Call centres moved offshore at the cost of Australian jobs. Sending money we pay through premiums offshore rather than keep in local economy.
No matter what I say, unfortunately will do little. Shame NRMA.
i spent hours on the phone to NRMA over 4 days getting a quote for car insurance, but each time I agreed on a premium, when I went online to pay the quote had "mysteriously" increased by over $200.
So far - no explanation!!
Excellent easy process and a good competitive rate. They weren’t the cheapest insurer but the excess was better and they have the app to keep upto date with the policy so I chose them. So far I can’t complain at all so definitely recommend them.
Recently reviewed my insurance Policies at SHELLHARBOUR OFFICES and have found the staff very polite and made me feel comfortable when reviewing my policies. Very informative with their explanations and explaining the terms and conditions..Great to have FACE TO FACE COMMUNICATION with friendly staff rather than informal conversations on the telephone or on internet…
he staff service are amazing. Diane was polite, informative, friendly, knowledgeable and very patient in assisting to obtain car insurance coverage at a most affordable price.
That the people l spoke too were amazing and answered all my questions.
My experience was great because l had great help from great people, nothing was too much bother for them, they were polite at all times.
Will definitely use NRMA again.
Thank You

Local shop fronts with good old fashioned, face to face service. Able to sought out any questions there & then. Real signature is best practice, not digital.
This pathetic NRMA has worst service and worst repairers. I had my car hit by kangaroo and was sent to repair on June in ACT and its still not fixed 100% .At first, When repairers checked the car they said the damage is not big just simple damage but now they are saying parts issue and will get parts in mid November. Every time I have to call the repairer for an update shit people and shit company. They are forcing me to take the car which is not 100% fixed. Repairers says it’s drivable. Seriously this shit service And if I call nrma they say they can’t do anything.
I wanted a flexible insurance cover quote for…My Caravan
I wanted an insurance cover quote for my caravan. Talked to on person who emailed me a quote. I noticed that on the quote there was a product named but wasn't included. I didn't understand what the "Layover Option" was. I called back and talked to a different man. he explained what the "Layover Option" was in a very brief detail but, did not explain it in full, and did not mention that the option would save me a lot of money and be of help when I am not traveling . I called back and this time I talked to a lovely lady by the name of "Renee".
Renee explained in detail what that option was and that it would greatly reduce my yearly premium, explained clearly how it works in full. I felt very happy and verry confident talking with Renee as she helped me to take out a great policy that really suits my needs rather than one that was going to cost me a lot more than necessary. As a pensioner that is an integral part for me. I highly recomend that, Renee is recognised for her knowledge, her kindness to explain things well and sell a product that absolutely suits the customers needs, and not one that is generic and costly and ubsuitable.
Well done to Renee!!
The staffs service are amazing along with the best price.
The staff service are amazing. Naomi was pleasant, professional, friendly, knowledgeable and patient with us to obtain the best possible home and building insurance coverage at a most affordable price. All other insurance companies we obtained quotes from were almost double the premium. It did take longer than expected to finally get the quote correct however that’s how we got the best possible premium. Highly recommend. Bob. Southern Highlands NSW.
Was told the policy would not auto renew but it did. Then ‘nothing can be done until next year’. Extremely impersonal to deal with. NRMA is not the company it used to be. If something goes wrong they hide behind a wall and continue to take your money. I think the phone people use scripts. Like scammers do.
Jean at NRMA Hornsby was very helpful with my home and car policies.
She answered all my queries very clearly.She was kind and thoughtful and a pleasure to deal with.
