RAC Car insurance reviews (196)

Beware of hidden Car Insurance cancellation fees

I purchased a car insurance policy with RAC that hadn’t even started, yet they charged me a £45 cancellation fee and an outrageous £45 Insurer Service Fee (ISF). These fees were buried in the T&Cs and feel completely unjustified. The lack of flexibility and transparency is shameful. I expected much better service from such a well-known company. When I questioned these charges, their customer service agent, Alicia, was unhelpful and dismissive. A truly disappointing experience. I certainly wouldn’t recommend RAC to anyone seeking fair and reasonable car insurance. Reviewed on: 10th December 2024

The absolute worst insurance company I've ever been...

The absolute worst insurance company I've ever been with. I had to fight for a copy of my policy and was questioned why I wanted it. Online chat 'Anthony' cut off my conversation when i was trying to get to the bottom of the extra charges. They have charged me twice the amount I should have been charged and not issued a refund they were supposed to. I've contacted them about 20 times trying to sort this. I give up. Waste of space!

Stay away

the worst insurance company and very bad customer service stay away from these thieves Reviewed on: 17th September 2024

Renewal increased by £400 for no reaso

My renewal came in after 2 years with RAC. They increased by £400 to £1150. I have not claimed or contacted them in the year. I have 9 years NCB and increased for no reason. Many will auto review and get completely ripped off. Shameful and criminal. I shopped around and got insured with less excess for £550. When will insurance companies be held to account.

Don't use RAC online insurance

I helped a neighbour to purchase RAC online insurance. The purchase went fine but a day later they requested documents to be sent which we scanned and sent but three days later they cancelled stating that they had not received the documents despite email was sent to the same email requesting it. In the chat they said they never read their emails!. Please don't use this insurance Reviewed on: 7th September 2024

AVOID THIS INSURER

Tried to claim for windscreen damage after flying debris put deep scratch in line of vision. Told that this was not covered as it was WEAR AND TEAR ! They were however very happy to repair privately for £440. Tried to complain but just got sent round in circles. Very poor service. Reviewed on: 5th September 2024
