RACQ FAQs

For landlords, a better option than home insurance is landlord insurance. Landlord insurance covers you for the same things as a home insurance policy, but with several important additions to cover you against risks from your tenants.

Currently, RACQ does not offer landlord insurance, but you can check out what else is available by comparing landlord insurance providers with Canstar:

If you have a recent and accurate estimate for the value of your home and contents, then it’s often a good idea to insure up to that particular sum to get your exact money’s worth.

If you don’t have an accurate idea of the above value, then you could insure for a complete replacement to give yourself peace of mind. Find out how much home insurance you need and how much contents insurance you need.

If you need to make a claim on your home insurance policy, then doing so with RACQ is a straightforward process. On RACQ’s claims page, it lists a four-step process:

  1. Call emergency services in the event of an emergency
  2. Check your insurance policy to see what you’re entitled to claim
  3. Collect the required information, such as your RACQ policy number, the date and details of the incident, proof of ownership of any damaged or stolen property, and anything else that can speed up the process
  4. Contact RACQ either by calling 13 7202 or by visiting your nearest branch

To apply for an RACQ home insurance policy, first compare your options in Canstar’s home insurance comparison tables. Then go to RACQ’s website and get a quote. This process should only take a few minutes at most.
