Common NRMA customer issues and complaints
While most NRMA customers are happy, common complaints include insurance claim disputes, long roadside wait times during peak periods, no refunds for cancelled memberships, and occasional customer service communication breakdowns. Some insurance claimants have felt decisions were overly strict or communication was unclear. Roadside users have reported delays or confusion around towing limits.
The key friction points usually relate to expectation mismatches or unclear terms - especially around what’s covered or refunded. Being proactive and informed goes a long way with NRMA.
