Good set up. Set up was good and easy to complete. It was not the cheapest but very close. Friends are with the AA and recommended the site. Reviewed on: 7th October 2025

Review of the AA, Car insurance:

Shockingly bad customer service ,would give zero stars if possible

1
Having been an AA customer for a number of years it is surprising to have had such a bad experience over the past 5 days. I changed my car so phoned to update my insurance. Having waited for 30 minutes my call was cut off. Waited another 30 minutes to get through. Was given 2 options one was to change existing policy and the other to take a new policy. The new policy gave no overlap cover so this wasn’t an option in case I was delayed picking my new car up. Not to worry, I was told I could proceed with an amendment to my current policy and then phone to get a new quote once I had the car if I wanted to as the amendment was nearly double the price of a new policy. If I did this there would be a £30 admin fee. That’s okay I thought as at least I knew I was covered. So following this advice I phoned this morning. Learning from my mistake I phoned at 8am- through immediately. However after a drawn out call involving a long period on hold I was told they couldn’t give me an amended quote. My only option was to cancel- with a few of £130+ or continue with the insurance which was nearly double the quote given last week. I feel completely ‘done over’ by The AA. At no point was I told I would in essence be stuck with a high cost insurance and at no stage told I would have to pay £130 to cancel my insurance. Having been a loyal customer for years of both insurance and roadside assistance I now know loyalty means absolutely nothing. If you want to be ripped off do go with The AA Car insurance as they do this rather well! Reviewed on: 10th July 2023

The AA has many services from breakdown cover to home insurance. I use them all and always have had 1st class service. All my insurances are easy to connect to online and most important of all I can speak to a real person if I choose. Reviewed on: 17th August 2023

wish I had never joined them

After being told on the phone without seeing my car that it was a write off they then came and took it away only to be informed that it was not a write off. Told they would be bringing it back as it was drivable after a week no car!! Phoned every day told it would be back soon still no car. When it does come back I am told I will have to drive it to a garage 7 miles away while they assess what needs to be done then bring it home then drive it back to be mended. I was under the illusion that the aa would make things easy but that has been shattered!!! Reviewed on: 2nd August 2023

Terrible

AA Home Insurance is just awful - we had been with them for many years, never made a claim. We had a water leak at our home, water gushing out of a pipe, we called a plumber right away in order to stop more damage being caused. Cost of repair was £426.00- we sent the claim dept footage of the leak and screenshots showing the invoice and a bank statement showing the payment was made as they had requested. Claim was turned down as 'you did not follow your policy rules by calling us first and using our own tradesman' What?? We thought we were helping the AA by not letting the water cause more damage than necessary and saving them money. Avoid the AA - they just want your money and they use any excuse to weasel out of paying - awful Company Reviewed on: 31st July 2023
