RAC Car insurance reviews (189)

Rac/markerstudy

I have cancelled my rac car insurance because of bunch of clowns called markerstudy I haven't had an accident/claim in over 5o years but had to report a car park incident this year which caused scuffed bumpers only but no claim made but these people have put a marker on my name meaning that any insurance Co taking me on believe I have had an accident and put the cost up significantly will never use again and will make sure no family or friends do either Reviewed on: 29th August 2023

The cheapest but still wildly expensive

The cheapest deal but still outrageously expensive. Despite having another year of no claims under my belt when I came to renew my insurance this year the only quotes I could find were all at least £100 more thank last year. Reviewed on: 25th August 2023

Awful

Put my renewal premium up hugely despite not making a claim, sent me a really offhand email telling me that despite paying by Direct Debit monthly for years and years I would now have to pay the whole amount in one go (nearly £1600). Talk about not reading the room and helping their clients in a difficult economic environment. Happy news is I got insurance for £900 elsewhere with the facility to pay monthly, so the RAC were not only rude and dismissive they were also just plain greedy. Not ever using them for anything again as they couldn't care less about customer loyalty. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2023

Good car insurance

Not made claim. Good value car insurance as required. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2023

Best deal

Tried a lot of companies this was the best and cheapest deal as the previous company wanted nearly twice as much because of my age which isn’t fair Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023

Clear cover

Easy to understand cover for your car and really good when there is a problem that needs sorting out. Reviewed on: 14th August 2023

RAC and Underwriters Makerstudy problems

These companies are frauds, they're both telling me different things and have been for weeks until I started asking for information in writing form. Just be aware they're problematic and even though they're contracted with each other they don't communicate with each other. Reviewed on: 18th July 2023

Efficient

I have not had to make any claims during my time insured by the RAC but when I have had to make policy amendments the process has been easy. Reviewed on: 17th July 2023

Avoid at all costs

Just cancelled policy after 3 months cover as they tried to rip us off for 2 x £25.00 admin fees to amend the policy. The original premium was £246. and we’re getting a refund of £48. Their cancellation fee is £56 (another rip-0ff?) which means we’ve paid a premium of £142 for 3 months cover (when a full year was only £246). AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. Reviewed on: 16th July 2023

One of the best around

Hassle free car insurance with a established company Reviewed on: 14th July 2023
