Just got some more quotes from them. They are consistently $300-$500 cheaper for the same excess than RACV.. very tempting.

Yes, windscreen cover is worth it. The 135 screen will cost you about $1800 if you pay it yourself.

You get what you pay for. I wouldn't insure my wheel barrow with Racq after the experience I had with them this year. I had a 3 month old Ranger Wildtrak that someone king hit at 60kph on its side de while parked. Needless to say, they 'repaired' the car. It was shocking, I had to sell it.

New for old simply means they are going to spend up to 75% of the insured value before writing it off.

Almost anyone else. AAMI won't give you choice of repairer so probably not them either.
