RAC - Rates Are Criminal

They seem to think that because my wife's car was stolen in 2022 that they could increase my premium from £303.94 to £470.56 for her to be a named driver in my policy and when I said I'll take her off the policy, they hit me for a further £54.32. I did make the mistake of not reviewing the details through a compare website so initially didn't realise that I'd overlooked her claim. I'll take that on the chin, a genuine oversight on my part. When I wanted to change my cherished plate back to the vehicle's original one, £25.00, some companies don't charge, RAC do, it's in the T's&C's of course, seems ridiculous since it's all automated but they try and explain it in their gobbledygook insurance speak. When I needed to change to a newer vehicle, they wouldn't quote so I cancelled which cost me another £45.00. so unless you've got a very mature money tree in your back garden that needs pruning, ignore any cheap looking quote from RAC insurance, it's only cheap until they invoke a clause that helps them empty your wallet or chop down the money tree.

Theyre terrible, they use 3rd party companies to run their claims, they say they have cotacted us but zero emails, or telephone calls, avoid at all costs, do not use they are shockingly bad.

DO NOT USE RAC Insurance THEY RIP YOU OFF.

DO NOT USE RAC Insurance THEY RIP YOU OFF. In November 2023, I called on behalf of my mother to see if she could claim for an accident to her car (nothing to do with her) and was informed we were not able to claim, so we didn’t. Then in Feb 2024, I then called to change the policy to a new smaller car and was informed that it couldn’t happen as the was an outstanding claim, then followed 25 to 30 hours of telephone calls between the RAC Customer Services, Claims, Liability, Underwriters & Acromass…….. But no one knows what anyone else is doing, I chased and had it confirmed there was no claim Acromas let RAC know 2 or 3 times, the RAC connected Acromas and it was confirmed again, but no one at the RAC communicates they haven’t a clause what the other departments are doing, and leave it up to the customer to try and sort. The RAC is very quick to take your money but do not do anything for it, just a bunch of insurance fraudsters!! DO NOT USE RAC INSURANCE!!!! Reviewed on: 13th February 2024
