Hit by third party insured with RAC

5
I'm currently insured with Admiral, but was hit by a third party insured by RAC. My insurance offered me to go through their third party company Auxillis, which informed me my vehicle was a total loss. RAC then contacted me the next day to transfer the valuation amount into my account. Very fast and easy so I could look into getting a new vehicle. Reviewed on: 18th November 2023

Avoid like the Plague

1
Tried to change vehicles on my policy and told I've to take out a new policy with another provider, and in order to leave to find another myself, I'm required to pay a £100+ exit fee. Complete daylight robbery Reviewed on: 16th November 2023

Joke insurance Co Ltd

1
I've had the black box insurance for 12 months. Their renewal letter is a 133% increase, a farcical amount. The black box wasn't working at all for four months. When I rang RAC to report they put the phone down twice. In the opening weeks I had 4 letters cancelling my policy and 4 letters saying it wasn't being cancelled. Reviewed on: 13th November 2023

Making changes

1
This company are a joke, just tried to make a couple of simple changes to a policy (change of address and new job - nothing unusual) with 5 years driving experience and 5 years no claims to be told this can't be done, and also told that I must now cancel the policy, even though it was an enquiry... Avoid unless you know for sure your circumstances won't change.. Reviewed on: 24th October 2023

Absolutely point

1
How does this company even exist.. had an accident in our car and RAC, who I pay, do not handle the claim or actually know who does. I’d rather pay more and get a better service than deal with these clowns. Reviewed on: 24th October 2023

Avoid like the plague

They simply don't care or do anything for their customers. Complete wastes of space. Reviewed on: 23rd October 2023

Rubbish

1
If I could give minus stars I would Despicable, service, rip-off, money, grabbing vultures stay well away do not use RAC Insurance For anything. I had a policy and then I changed my car. to a VW transporter van, no commercial van every day family vehicle type van with six seats. In the past when I have changed vehicles midway through a policy to be no problem and I’ve been able to do it, I may have been charged a very small admin fee but I could do it. Oh no, no no no not with these rip-off vultures they gave me no choice but to cancel my policy, and then charge me an obscene amount for a cancellation fee As they claimed, they don’t insure the type of vehicle that I wanted to I told them it’s not a commercial van it’s a family vehicle doesn’t matter they were rude on the phone not very helpful. Like I say do not use these guys they are awful Reviewed on: 23rd October 2023

Vile organisation

1
Don't insure with these. Double your fee after 12 months and hope you don't notice the auto renewal price. Also you would be very lucky to see a penny in a claim. Rude customer service also. And NEVER use the breakdown recovery. They don't exist if you have anything worse than a flat battery. Even then you can be abandoned for 12 hours or more Reviewed on: 19th October 2023

Fair price insurance

Spotted the firm online when my previous insurers wouldn't lower their prices Reviewed on: 14th October 2023

Really bad!

Every expensive No one ever answers the phone App doesn't work, website login never works, telematics don't work. Avoid Reviewed on: 9th October 2023
