address wrong

1
After a bad experience on the phone, when they charged me extra for correcting their mistake in describing my profession, they sent an amended certificate of insurance, with my address wrong; not only wrong, but impossible. It only got to me by the postcode. Reviewed on: 21st November 2017

bad experience with phone operative taking details

1
I phoned to arrange car insurance, simply because they offer 10% off as i had taken their house insurance { that was REALLY bad too, but i didnt know at the time!] and the man on the phone took a really long time going through all the questions....I am an artist, so every second is a brushstroke not done......when he asked about my work [ I am 73] i said 'painter, and part time art tutor ,as artists tend to describe their work as , eg painting, sculpture, printmaking, etc.....so when the documents arrived yesterday, ,it said that i was a painter/decorator. I was mildly amused, and phoned to correct it. they said that that would be an additional £51 !!!I got that down to £26 or so...BUT, it was their fault, and how on earth could an artist, painting at home,cost them more Reviewed on: 15th November 2017

helpful and reasonably priced

They beat the competition from my husbands car insurance. Reviewed on: 1st October 2017

Best customer service

5
I have been with the AA for many years and every year they have given me a better offer than the year before or have given me a price that I can afford. They have an excellent customer service, many offers and I wouldn't go with any other insurance company. Reviewed on: 30th September 2017

Rip off

1
I have just had a new quote with the AA and they wanted 850.00 pounds for the banger I drive worth 200.00 I am not paying that they mislead people avoid. Reviewed on: 23rd September 2017

Never choose AA car insurance

1
Diabolical company for car insurance. Started AA car insurance policy and sent off previous no claims proof - they came back with "Please be advised before we can accept your no claims bonus we need to know what has happened to vehicle !!!! The expiry date on your no claims bonus proof is 11/07/2017, and your policy started with us on 25/05/2017. Please provide a brief explanation for this. - hadn't even got the correct policy number etc. Had an non fault accident 2 months later - dealt with it ok on day 1 - from then on diabolical service. Vehicle was written off and figure agreed - said it would take 3-5 working days to credit bank. 3-5 working days rang and was told another 3-5 working days - each time we rang was told a different story. on 31.8.17 rang with query on when we eventually get another vehicle would we be charge - was told that provided it was the same vehicle it is was within 30 days of vehicle payout no extra charges would be incurred. 23.9.17 rang with exactly same vehicle and they stuck £62 on policy - I had logged conversation on 31.8.17 and stated this to them. Off they went to find the recording and came back it had conveniently been lost. So a customer gets insurance and is inconvenienced when someone pulls out and writes your car off and they see it as an opportunity to get some extra money out of you - absolutely disgusting company - don't ever go with them. I also be changing my breakdown cover as well with an alternative company Reviewed on: 23rd September 2017

Poor claims handling

1
My wife's car was hit by a lorry on a roundabout. The haulage company denied any knowledge, then admitted involvement but denied liability as there were no witnesses. AA insurance refused to pursue and agreed 50/50 liability with the third party. £150 excess and £100 pa increase in premiums! Reviewed on: 20th September 2017

You can't go wrong

Straightforward cover from a reputable company. A little pricier but worth it I think. Reviewed on: 4th September 2017

Reliable but very expensive

2
I've stayed with AA insurance as it's a name I know and feel secure with but they are more expensive than competitors and have always sent whopping renewal quotes. When I have the time to call and query it is suddenly reduced significantly. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2017

Disasterous insurer

1
Definitely the worse ever experience I've ever had and this was at the purchase. Never ever go for the cheapest, it will cost you dearly Reviewed on: 21st August 2017
