The Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV) is a motoring club and mutual organisation which provides its Members with a range of products and services in the areas of motoring, home, leisure, financial services and general insurance.
Members of RACV consist of about 30,000 "ordinary" club members who have access to the lifestyle club properties and 2.1m service members who hold any product offered by RACV.
The RACV runs a lifestyle club known as the RACV Club, with locations in the Melbourne CBD and at Healesville. It operates 5 resorts in regional Victoria, 1 in Tasmania and 2 in Queensland which distinct from the lifestyle club properties do not require a visitor to be a paid up club member or be a guest of a club member. RACV also produces a monthly magazine for all members which covers travel/touring destinations in Victoria, interstate and overseas, motoring and mobility news and reviews, and member benefits news and updates.
The Automobile Club of Victoria was founded in 1903, and it held its first car rally at Aspendale Park Racecourse in 1904. In 1916, the club received the approval of King George V to prefix the title "Royal" to its name.
RACV is a member of the Australian Automobile Association which has member organisations in each state and territory of Australia.
RACV was a founder of insurance brand AAMI (previously known as Club Motor Insurance and now owned by Suncorp-Metway), and both companies are now major competitors in the insurance market in Victoria with RACV's business venture with partner Insurance Australia Group.
RACV provides a tiered roadside assistance service across Victoria to the approximately 2.1 million Victorian members and a reciprocal service to its interstate and international affiliates. It also has a Drive School, a suite of motor products such as Batteries, Auto Glass, Parts and tyres and currently manages and operates Melbourne's Bike Share Scheme on behalf of the Victorian Government.
