Frequently asked questions
Most RACV Trades quotes are free, and provided with no obligation to proceed. Your tradie may need to do a site inspection to give you the most accurate quote.
You may have to pay for a site inspection if further investigation is required to determine the problem. Your tradie will confirm any required payment upfront, prior to arranging a time with you.
Deposits for certain jobs
If your quote is above $1,000, we generally require a deposit before work begins. This is usually 20% of the total cost.
