RACQ VS NRMA Car Insurance
Jul 22nd
Trying to decide between them? RACQ is marketed towards Queenslanders, NRMA is Victoria
RACQ Insurance
In Queensland, RACQ is really starting to push advertisements about their popular car insurance products. To find out more about them, see our RACQ insurance page which briefly explains what they have to offer. They are one of Brisbane’s most well known insurance companies and many people are very happy with their service.
NRMA Car Insurance
NRMA is one of Australia’s largest car insurance companies. If you haven’t heard of them then you probably haven’t driven a car before! Find out more about NRMA’s insurance policies on our NRMA page. I’d like to see some more creative television advertisments for NRMA. More of the NORMA please. I remember driving my car in Brisbane and noticing some clever NRMA sky writing which was very memorable.
Car Rental Insurance
Jul 3rd
Many people unknowingly waste their money every time they buy insurance when they rent a car. For some people, insurance for their car rental might be the right choice but this is not true for many others. Should you buy the rental car insurance? It is not a straight forward answer. It depends on what kind of insurance you already have and what kinds of deals are available to you.
If you already own a car, you should look through your existing auto insurance policy or call your insurance company. It is likely that your policy covers rental cars. In addition, make sure the insurance policy will cover the entire value of the vehicle. If your existing insurance policy looks solid, then there is no reason for you to purchase any additional insurance for your rental car.
You should also contact your credit card companies because many offer their customers the benefit of complimentary rental car insurance. Credit card companies usually provide very restricted rental car coverage, and it usually only covers collision insurance. In addition, most credit card companies condition this insurance on your paying for the rental car using that company’s card. If you wish to take advantage of your credit card company’s car rental insurance, you should call the company first to make sure you understand all of the terms and conditions.
When it comes to personal accident insurance, you might want to consider the passengers that will ride with you in the rental car. Most renters do not need personal accident insurance, but if you or your passengers do not have medical insurance, personal accident insurance could protect you if you need medical attention in the event of a car accident.
Of course, if you have no auto insurance and no credit card, you will definitely want to consider rental car insurance.
