Appalling service I had taken out insurance with RAC Online - believing that RAC was a reputable company - how wrong was I. I had the policy for around 5 months when I... Read more Reviewed on: 16th October 2025

RAC Car insurance reviews (188)

Ridiculous arrogance, Cash cow public, AVOID at all cost's

Bottom line 3 years with them and quoted £860 for 1.6 diesel, 43 year old with 6 years no claims, i was quoted £190-£280 MAX by 5 other insurers with better policies ! i saved over £500 with one free call RAC was trusted brand, not now, as insurance broker they are disgusting, £30 charge for every phone call ever made, they dont insure you, they punt you out and charge another £100 on top, plus the £30s for any call, one internet search will save you 100s, if you like yourself dont renew your policy, i lapsed last year and was going to be £200+ to cancel policy, on reflection i would NEVER put another £ in there hands, they dont make any effort to get you a competitive Quote, they are cynical and unwilling to help at any level, take a day and save yourself the hardship of a Poor service provider Reviewed on: 26th February 2019

Cheapest on comparison

Trusted brand, communication great so far, hopefully I’ll never have to make a claim and test their customer service. Reviewed on: 29th November 2018

Shocking service

What a terrible company - I have had a company car for years and no claims at all! Due to car allowance I have leased a car. Despite Lex providing details of my No claims; RAC would not accept!!!!! They claim it’s not valid so I asked to cancel and they stated it would take effect at midnight that day. Instead they cancelled it at 15:30 putting me and my vehicle at severe risk. Would not recommend- try LV! Reviewed on: 19th September 2018

RIP OFF

After buying another car (7 years younger than current one and no bigger - going from Fiat Punto to Vauxhall Corsa), I go to swap my RAC insurance to the new car to be told it will be over £100+!! more for the year? So I go to cancel and am told I'll be charged a £50 cancellation fee PLUS £24 admin fee, so as you can imagine, hardly worth me cancelling. But hey RAC!! you won't see me for dust this time next year. You rip people off. I've just searched like for like quotes on Meerkat and found I could have my insurance at my current price for the size of car I have brought. I am appalled companies like you can get away with daylight robbery! This is the last you will see of me! Reviewed on: 16th September 2018

Rip Off

After cancelling insurance because they where quoting 50% more than LVC insurance for a change of car They charged me £55 cancellation fee. Absolute rip off and will never use this company again. Reviewed on: 18th August 2018

Very helpful

Very helpful customer service representatives. Reviewed on: 23rd July 2018

Great insurer

Easy to sign up, very good price and for the first time ever my quote for this year gone down! Reviewed on: 17th July 2018

Terrible service

You will spend forever on hold trying to speak with anyone. You will have to listen to endless information before you even get put on hold. You will be subject to huge premium increases every year. You will subjected to endless calls from ambulance chasers when making a claim. A truly terrible company to deal with. Reviewed on: 11th April 2018

Waste of time

Filled in details online. Obtained quote of £377.08. Tried to pay having put in purchase date - and suddenly 'the site was closed due to maintenance'. Rang up - 10 minutes listening to drivel before I got to an adviser. Lots more sales chat - finally confirmed the quote of £377.08 and eventually go to the payment part - and I was then told. 'The price is £553 - OK?' Hang on - what ... No explanation for the huge price hike, just told 'That's now the price...' No explanation for not honoring the quote which on screen I was told was valid for today. He just kept saying - 'That's the price - OK? No - that's really NOT OK! Disgraceful! Will not buy any RAC products from now on. Reviewed on: 5th December 2017

Good service and reasonable price

Had a really positive experience with RAC. Whenever I call I get good service and I asked them to call me back at a particular time and they actually did. It is the small things that make a big difference Reviewed on: 13th September 2017
