Excellent service shame about the price hikes

3
I can not fault the service they provide however every year they try and put the price up by about £10 by just sending the new invoice through the post and I have to ring and spend a long time on the phone getting the price back down. Reviewed on: 9th July 2019

Brilliant service, awful renewal

3
The AA adds such heavy discounts and cashback options to it's new customers that the renewal ended up totalling 4x more than we paid for the first year! Complete rip off. Reviewed on: 15th April 2019

I got a free 1 year cover when I purchased my car. When I started, AA told me if I pay extra 5£/month I would get the 11£ option from their website. I started paying monthly 5£ and on 22/10/18 I made a call to pay the remaining 8-9 months left, all at once. They said I need to cancel the active one and they will create a new one with the same options and I can pay for the full year But the new option was for 150+£ a year , so they almoust triple it. When I told them to cancel everything, them made me an "one time offer" for 99£/year +10£(to end the year without continuing) Just seen now on their website that it's the actual offer they have for everyone 99£/year or 11£/month So, basically I was getting a higher price. Nice way to treat customers. To confirm, I took the 99£ deal on the and I am an active customer as we speak. Unless I get cancelled for this honest review. Reviewed on: 23rd October 2018
