While Helen Warwick and her husband were away enjoying a holiday in November, they were unaware of the severe thunderstorm that hit their Sydney suburb.
Unfortunately, their house was struck directly by a bolt of lightning during the storm.
“We came back to find that our two TVs and computer had literally blown up. The jolts of electricity had surged throughout most of the house. Even my electric toothbrush was fried,” Helen said.
“I never fully understood the benefit of being with the biggest general insurance group in Australia until I made my claim.”
As part of their standard cover, Helen could have replaced their televisions and computer new-for-old. But, she discovered that she could go one better than that.
“We were able to save money on new, more advanced electrical equipment for our home by tapping into NRMA Insurance’s buying power.”
Helen was able to deal directly with NRMA Insurance’s wholesale electrical goods suppliers. She chose to replace their old 58cm television with a brand new 68cm flat-screen television, by paying only the difference between the insured value of their old model and the wholesale price of the upgraded model. In effect, they saved hundreds of dollars by accessing NRMA Insurance’s supply network.
