Royal Automobile Club of Queensland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Royal Automobile Club of Queensland (RACQ) is a motoring club and mutual organisation which provides roadside assistance, insurance and other services in Queensland. It is a member of the Australian Automobile Association
In 2005, RACQ celebrated 100 years service to state of Queensland. Its headquarters are based at Eight Mile Plains in Brisbane, with hubs at Tingalpa, Fortitude Valley, Murarrie and Southport.
RACQ Insurance, the RACQ's insurance arm, is 50% owned by the motoring club. The other half is owned by financial institution Suncorp Metway.
It's branches are mostly owned outright, however some are franchised or contracted out. This particularly true of the road service division, which uses contractors outside of Brisbane.
On August 29 2006, RACQ officially launched a new mobile branch, that will function as an ordinary branch and be used for exhibitions, trade shows and to assist in large scale disasters in helping communities get their claims processed quicker and back on their feet again sooner.
