Sounds terrible. I will only use the state-wide automobile insurer for all my insurance policies for all types or cover they offer that I need (vehicles, building, and home contents). Why? They have an outstanding reputation and physical offices in both cities in the states (Tasmania). Needing to make an insurance claim is almost always going to be a stressful event to some extent. Being able to walk in and talk to a real person if needed is something I’m willing to pay a premium (pun!) for. When it comes to insurance, for me, cheapest is not always best.

  Sorry, I’ve worded that wrong. It’s called the Royal Automobile Club is Tasmania, or RACT. Wonkypodgia does a better job of explaining it: The Royal Automobile Club of Tasmania normally abbreviated to RACT is a motoring club in Tasmania, Australia. The organisation was established in 1923 and now has over 191,000 members.[1] It is a member of the Australian Automobile Association. It provides services such as roadside assistance, vehicle, home and contents insurance, personal and car loans, driver's education, tourism services and home security products. In addition to consumer services, the club also engages in consumer advocacy, particularly in regard to petrol prices, which are both historically and recently higher than prices in other parts of Australia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Automobile_Club_of_Tasmania https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Automobile_Club_of_Tasma... The Australian Automobile Association (AAA) was established in 1924. The AAA is the peak organisation for Australia's motoring clubs and their eight million members, and advances the interests of all road users across Australia to ensure land transport networks are safe and sustainable, and that the cost and access to transport is fair. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Automobile_Association https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Automobile_Associat...
