How hard is it to cancel RACV?
RACV scores 66/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the AU — a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via phone, email, online (self-serve), in-app.
To cancel personal RACV membership and emergency roadside assistance, members contact RACV directly (13 RACV / 13 72 28); insurance products can also be cancelled self-serve via the RACV App or online account dashboard using the 'Cancel product' button. For insurance, RACV refunds the unexpired (pro-rata) portion of any paid premium, less any cancellation processing fee and government charges it must retain by law. Cancelling all RACV products ends membership status, and re-joining later restarts at Blue Member tier (0-4 years). RACV Club membership is cancelled separately via 1300 501 501 or [email protected].

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
