What a con. Just want you to sign up with Freedom Finance at a higher rate.
Now have a search on my credit rating with a negative outcome.not impressed
I will change my family AA plan and my business AA plan to another provider.
Very disappointed with AA, I thought they were an old school type of company but apparently not.
You’ve just lost all my business and will only get negative reviews and no recommendations from me.
Very poor.

No claims service

A third party crashed into my car making it a total loss. AA passed the Engineer's Report to me and told me to sort it out with my insurance company. My insurance company knew nothing about it and I had to do all the AA's work for them.

My experience was amazing, the person that attended to me was very composed, and a very fantastic person, it was very nice talking to him, I feel in me that I have achieved all that I was looking for.

The AA insurance are useless when handling an accident. Took 3 months to resolve a clear no fault case. Poor communication is an understatement as the repairer had to inform me of a total loss. Each call to the AA was over 1.5hr wait. Made 3 complaints, 2 ignored and one resolved failing to acknowledge the issues. Then after the matter was settle as a non fault claim, I got a a solicitors letter for the hire care charges asking me to prove I could not afford the hire fees. I rang the AA and they told my that yes I am liable and should have done what I can to limit costs! The AA we're the cause for taking 3 months to decide if my car was a total loss, not me and then they tell me I am liable. NEVER use this useless and incompetent business. AX who handled the hire car however were very good.

Had a non fault claim, As my insurance was going to run out during mid claim, So renewed policy to keep continuity of claim but my policy tripled as was told i had a fault claim against me until proven a non fault, but was told once proven its a non fault claim my premium would revert back to original quote and be reimbursed the excess I paid.
They lied. It was proven that the claim was a non fault claim but the policy did not revert to original price. They did reduce a bit but was still over a double!!!
Customer service was terrible just blaming everyone else and spoke to a manager who was as useless as a wet paper bag. I would avoid the AA as an insurance company as much as possible.

Non fault claim, was mismanaged. I had to wait 3 months for an assessment by the engineer, thereafter the car was passed on to an underwriter who had to reassess the claim as a new claim. Over all I waited 4 months for the claim to be settled. Communication from the AA is extremely poor , no one communicated with me through the process or explained the claim properly. Staff do not understand their job and a lot of cover up for mismanagement. The teams they have are disjointed and don’t communicate. Unfortunately I had to go to the financial ombudsman and will be taking this to solicitors .

If I could give the AA 0 stars I would.

Last night my family's car broke down in the middle of a busy junction in central London, blocking a main road behind traffic lights. We had four people including a disabled person who couldn't walk in the vehicle and despite numerous calls, texts, and attempts to reach the AA on every social media platform they have it took them 10 hours to reach us and offer us any kind of support.

I'm absolutely shocked and outraged at the negligence of the AA last night - what I thought was a reliable company failed to come to our aid and kept us in an incredibly dangerous situation, ignoring all of our messages and leaving us on hold for hours.

If you have any option to NOT use the AA I recommend turning elsewhere for support.

Two of the four passengers have AA memberships, and yet they still charged us a high fee when they eventually came to pick up the car at 4am.

We have never claimed on home insurance but unfortunately in Jan 2022, we came home to a leak in out En-suite, initially we wasn’t gonna claim but seeing to extent of the damage, we had no choice, building surveyor booked, came round, assessed the damage, told me it’s pretty bad, smell damp in both bathrooms, his little toy was beeping everything he touched, after a week or so, I called the AA to get an update, they said the family bathroom could not be validated, I was fuming, they said I would need to make a second claim, which means more delays and headache, living like this with 2 young children is not acceptable, my young daughter has cut her feet twice, entering 2 bathrooms that smell to the rafters of damp is not the most pleasant thing in the world, we are now in March and the AA have offered us peanuts compared to what the cheapest quote came in out, I am appalled by this, they say you will be contacted by them for updates which is completely untrue, every time I have called them I get updated, what we have been through and are still going through is causing so much stress, with 2 young children in the house, avoid them at all cost please, your better off getting your home insurance from your bank, in which we will do once this is resolved.

Do not use the AA. I am appalled at the service they gave me I have now had 2 very VERY bad experiences with them. Yesterday I broke down on the motorway and it took them 8 hours to come and look at my car. I am a 22 year old women and I was by myself in the dark at night and apparently I was ‘priority’ however, they wouldn’t look at my car on the motorway so I had to be pulled off before they would even see me. They told me they would be there for 4pm they did not sort the problem out until gone midnight. Once they finally came they charged me an EXTRA £450 to get my car home as they only cover 50 miles free … WHAT ARE WE EVEN PAYING FOR IN THE MEMBERSHIP?! DO NOT USE THEM! I will be writing a bad review on every site possible and will be leaving them straight away. I will steer everyone away from the AA that is thinking of joining.

3 hours on the hard shoulder of the M1 and repeatedly lied too!
Broke down at 4.00 pm waited 3 hours on the hard shoulder of the M1 (rush hour) despite being told I was priority because of the dangerous situation, repeatedly lied to about recovery times, then after 3 hours towed to a service station 2 miles down the motorway by an independent recovery company, waited another hour and a half for a patrolman to turn up to tell me my car needed recovering (which I knew all along and I believe so did they as you are asked for the symptoms when you call) now told it will be 11.30pm before they can recover me for the 150 mile onward journey (which I don’t believe as every single member of staff you speak to lies about the times) you will wait at least 2 hours or more after the time they tell you. Cant have my car delivered to my garage because they are closed as it will be 1.00 am in the morning! and even if I have it dropped off there I have to make my own way home or else get my car taken home and they then will charge you to take it to your garage the next day! so 7 hours stranded so far (that’s if they turn up a 11pm which I doubt) be lucky to get home by 2 am! Personally after being a member for 7 years I will never use them again, they are unprofessional they don’t care and no longer have the resources or ability to look after their members, I would never recommend them!
Update 11.23 patrolman arrived but says he can only tow me halfway!!!!!! Is dumping me at a service station 75 miles from home at 1.00 am in the morning I now have to wait to be picked up from there! AA you should be ashamed of yourselves!!!!

They send you a cheery e-mail implying the monies will be with you in 2 working days whilst hiking up the advertised interest rate by 400%.. Then decline your loan and don’t bother telling you until you chase them up.

I have an excellent credit score (990), decent stable income, no black marks against my name etc and work hard to keep things this way.

But the AA said no. And now my credit rating has taken a 15 point hit.

I don’t know what you need to get a loan from the AA. A letter from the Queen, but I do hope you are reading this and avoid them like the plague/ COVID!
