Review of the AA, Home Insurance:

Household Insurance from a household name you can't trust!!

1
Claim Reference number SHAA01006224: Claim made on the 15th January 2022 for water damage as shower has obviously been leaking for a number of years, damage to floor boards and bathroom support beams. Do not insure anything with The AA, the offer no insurance what so ever and will do whatever they can not to pay. You get a claim handler that you can't contact. You are asked to communicate over the portal where messages are ignored! What sounds hard to believe is this so called insurance Company will not repair the leak but will repair the damage caused by the leak, this is written in their policy so this is fair enough, however the truth of the matter is they won't pay to repair the damage either! As soon as their surveyor arrived I knew that he had already decided that this claim would not be paid. I have asked for his full biased report and I am unable to get this. The reason for not paying is they state that the leak must have been there for a while, pretty obvious because the beams are rotten by water damage but how would I know that until I made the claim once water came through the ceiling and I removed the shower tray to uncover the damage! Calling your claim handler, leaving messages for her to call you is pointless. I called Friday 28th January 2022 waited over a hour for someone to answer and as soon as someone did they dropped the call. You can of course log a complaint with them, which I did, but no one actually asks you what you are complaining about and you are told that they will be in touch in 8 weeks after looking into the complaint that they know nothing about, which I am sure will come back with they will not be paying the claim! Everything about making a claim, getting it surveyed, approved, to resolve your house Emergancy is engineered to make sure that your claim is processed slowly, refused and when you complain they disappear! I will continue to fight this injustice and poor customer service / relations until someone takes note and I will update this review on my progress, as this Company cannot keep on taking the publics money and leaving them stranded without any assistance or help! I hope their recovery service is a bit better that their insurance services! Reviewed on: 1st February 2022

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. I could have understood if it had been for thousands, but £426.00?? 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

Be careful

While the AA are a very reputable brand, their claims management is handled by a company called Integra who have a shocking reputation. I tried to submit a very simple accidental damage claim. Would have been done and dusted in minutes with a proper insurer like Direct Live or Aviva, but Integra went out of their way to make life difficult for me and gave me so many unnecessary hoops to jump through in the hope I would withdraw my perfectly legitimate claim. Over a month later and radio silence from Integra. I will leave AA at renewal and never come back. I'd rather pay a little more with a proper insurer, safe in the knowledge they will look after me when I need them. Reviewed on: 17th July 2023

AA Home insurance Claim just treated as a joke 5 months down the line . Our home has been left as a building site after a flood in November . No assistance , they couldn’t provide builders, accommodation , told us to find a “man with a van “ to remove the rest by of our contents . No customer service , no response from complaints department . Everyday is a battle . No one cares Reviewed on: 12th April 2023

Specifically chose the do not auto renew option but this was ignored. I chose this insurance for my autistic brother, when trying to cancel the auto renewal on his behalf they insisted they needed to speak to him! Absolutely furious Reviewed on: 7th November 2022

The AA can’t be beaten on price, we have used them for home insurance for the past 3 years as they have always been cheapest even on renewal. When I have had to contact them they are always friendly and easy to get hold if Reviewed on: 15th August 2022

Had a leak on a water stop tap .the leak caused damage to the vinyl flooring .had to be taken up as it was warped.surveyor for the aa agreed.but the claim has been declined because on the photos we sent there are some marks on the wall and the aa say this is related to the damage these marks are not connected to the leak It seem they are looking for ways not to pay the claim.you may get cheap insurance with this company but if they don't pay for accidents that's why If I were you please go to another company .all.in all a very. Bad and costly experience Reviewed on: 16th March 2022
