Review of the AA, Home insurance:

Ongoing experiences with the insurer of the at-fault...

1
Ongoing experiences with the insurer of the at-fault driver. no clarity, no support, no fairness. After being involved in a non-fault accident, I contacted AA Insurance to report the incident and request assistance. What followed was a deeply frustrating process filled with contradictions, a lack of communication, and zero transparency. Initially, I was asked whether I had “access to another vehicle,” which I reasonably understood to mean access to any personal or shared car (e.g., a sibling’s,friend’s vehicle or even could be neighbour’s vehicle) so I replied “no.” They provided a vehicle that did not match the agreement and left me dissatisfied, while leading me to believe it was only a temporary solution. Later, I was asked whether I have another vehicle, to which I answered honestly that I have a business van. Based on this, AA immediately withdrew all services without giving me a chance to explain or clarify anything. And the hire vehicle was taken away from me asap. The agent used the exact words: “We retract all services immediately.” I tried several times to talk that the business van is not suitable for personal or family use, but I was cut off, ignored, and completely dismissed. Even the call recording proves this — I can be clearly heard saying: “listen to me,” “I want to talk,” “Stop being clever, I want to talk,” “Ok you understand me but I still want to talk,” and “Why did you call me if you’re not going to listen?” But yet the agent cut me off all the time. The agent’s decision to treat my business van as an alternative vehicle, without giving me any opportunity to explain, has left me without a car since the date (10/03/2025) of the accident and has had a significant impact on my daily social life and has resulted in both financial loss and emotional hardship for me. As anyone working in the insurance industry should know, a business van is neither legally nor practically an alternative to a personal vehicle, and it comes with restrictions for private use. •Was the agent unaware of this? •Was the agent indifferent to the inconvenience and distress this caused me? •Did the agent simply not care about my situation? •Did the agent make this cancellation decision personally? •If I had told the agent that I owned an electric scooter, would they have considered it an alternative means of transport and still decided to “retract all the services”? •Did the agent record in the system that I have a business van, or did the agent noted it as an alternative vehicle — as the basis for the “we retract all the services” decision? The call recordings clearly confirm this unfair treatment — I was not allowed to speak, explain, or clarify. I was silenced before I was even heard. No fair opportunity was given to explain the nature of the van or why it couldn’t be used as a personal alternative. In legal terms, denying a customer the right to be heard violates the fundamental principle of natural justice — audi alteram partem. Not only did the agent refuse to listen to me, but I was also firmly and insistently pushed toward using my own insurance. What’s worse; later, AA claimed that I voluntarily refused their services and declined the arranged inspection — a claim that is completely contradicted by the actual call recording. This was not just poor customer service. It was a complete breakdown of fairness, clarity, and responsibility — handled in a way that created avoidable stress and disruption during a time when support should have been provided. The email I sent to clarify this issue and request an explanation regarding the conduct of the AA agent was left unanswered and completely ignored. I will continue to share my experiences throughout this process to help others be cautious when dealing with this insurer. I wish I could give a zero star or even less. Reviewed on: 20th April 2025

Held a good policy with the aa. When the renewal was ready the helpful member of staff pointed out a huge mistake I had made on my policy that would have potentially made it void. They could have taken my money knowing full well that was the case. Reviewed on: 29th August 2019

Not a lot of progress

This is my second review about a fire gutting my bungalow and the AA 5 star insurance dragging theier heels regarding the refurbishment. There has been little progress since my last review. I would not recommend the AA home insurance to anyone Reviewed on: 5th August 2019

Sounds OK till you make a claim

Fire in roof of my house started February 2019 by a careless roofer Affected whole house. Still fixing roof now after 5 months.. just delay after delay and we are still in a rented flat. Our home is still in a terrible state of dereliction and filth still uninhabitable. They now have the cheek to be putting our premium up although they will claim from the roofer who did the damage. Awful company. Don't go there. My ordeal hasn't ended and looks unlikely to soon Reviewed on: 31st July 2019
