RAC Car insurance reviews (196)

Do NOT waste yr money

Terrible company. Cancelled insurance policy 2 wks ago still no refund and been to,d today another 8-10 working days… They take yr money and don’t return it Reviewed on: 23rd November 2022

Gave up after eight hours stranded

When it went wrong, it went badly wrong. First (and last) time I called them out it was 11.30pm in November in a city centre multi storey car park. They didn't phone to check my details or location for 4.5 hours, then there was nobody available to come out. At 7am I was told someone MIGHT be out to me in the next 90 minutes. Lone female stuck in a freezing car park overnight and I wasn't a priority. After eight hours I gave up on these clowns and will be writing to find out why they can't meet a basic service. Avoid at all costs. Reviewed on: 18th November 2022

Competitive Rates

Real people at the end of a phone to speak with and helpful they also answered promptly Reviewed on: 4th November 2022

£25 fee address change

Have to change address on my car insurance policy. 25£ fee for that? Very expensive Reviewed on: 30th October 2022

They are thifts ,my and my friend have the same isuue with them ,first they take your money and after they call you to say was a mistake and the insurance need to increse so stay far away from this insurance company. Reviewed on: 17th October 2022

Renewal up by 25%, painful to cancel

Wish I'd read these reviews before signing up with them. 12 years NCD and they raised my premium from 234 to 290. Been trying to cancel for 20 mins now. Their website says you can cancel online but the options not there, surprise! So you have to call, after 3 mins of irrelevant pre-recorded message, now on hold for 15 mins. This is one of those companies that makes you jump through hoops to cancel in the hope you'll give up. Reviewed on: 1st October 2022

Avoid

If you miss a direct debit - they charge you £20, I have been off sick from work since March and struggled to pay this month's insurance ( I had made 2 changes to the policy last month so had an extra £50 in charges) - I chatted to them to explain I had been off and that I could pay the £70 odd outstanding today and that going forward I will pay on the 29th of the month as I have started a new job, all was going OK and then the lady said RAC & BISL have decided you can't afford monthly payments and have cancelled the policy with immediate effect. I was shocked. I ended up having to pay a deposit with another company and go elsewhere, I will never use RAC or BISL again. Reviewed on: 27th September 2022

Reliable company

Reliable company with helpful customer service. Reviewed on: 27th September 2022
