Review of the AA, Car Insurance:

Helpful and friendly

AA is a great company, very reasonable insurance prices would recommend. Reviewed on: 30th September 2016

Sneaky autorenewal and more than doubling my price

1
AA used to be a brand you could trust. But I have just narrowly avoided having my car insurance premium double automatically and the renewal take place base don one email notification that I nearly missed. It was then pretty tricky to figure out how to get out of it. Additionbally much cheaper quotes elsewhere Reviewed on: 14th May 2024

Check small print immediately you get your policy

Got a quote from AA, insisted I had to pay that day even through it though insurance starting 15 days later. Looked at policy details 4 days after start date to find that my husbands name was not on the insurance. When I phoned they told me they had deleted his name as they do not insure people of his age (88) but at no time did they inform and were happy to take the money. My husband was in fact driving without insurance!! Cancellation of policy still cost £30 even though it w... Reviewed on: 5th February 2024

Not impressed

I had an accident in October which wasn’t my fault-someone hit the back of my car. I assumed AA who I have insurance with, would deal with it all but apparently I was with an Insurance Company through AA. AA were good at organising a curtesy car but that’s about it. I have been passed from pillar to post and am still waiting to get my excess back (if I get it back!). Sorry I’m not impressed Reviewed on: 28th December 2023

AA issues are customers problem and hidden charges just jokers

Still awaiting a call off manger for why my account was passed to collections 3 days before I've received there letter. When I cancelled as problems there end that was make my issue. Just jokers I'd recommend recording there calls as for ever changing stories. NEVER WILL I USE AA SERVICES AGAIN. Reviewed on: 16th October 2023

Fair price

I appreciated that they were willing to match a renewal quote I had seen elsewhere. However it was disappointing that when they tried to add on Breakdown Cover they couldn't give a definitive answer to the question of whether our dog would be permitted to ride with us in the rescue vehicle if we needed roadside assistance. I learned recently that some recovery services make the dog stay in the car, which is towed separately - we would consider this totally unacceptable and don't... Reviewed on: 10th October 2023

Shocking

Shocking customer service. Shocking customer skills,arrogant,would NOT. Recommend these people Reviewed on: 16th September 2023

Awful customer service

1
My husband called them to tell them we were changing cars, they could help insure the new car and we said we would need to stop the policy. The lady on the phone after being asked if there was a cancellation said no and we were due a £200 refund. Shock horror 3 days later only £11 went in the bank. Called back got a rather rude man on the phone telling my husband he was wrong and they wouldn't say that on the call. Gave a load of rubbish about why we got less money. My husban...
