Bad car insurance company

If could I would give them 0 starts I have arranged to do the cancellation over the phone with the customer service. Everything agreed they would take the money out from the direct debit account within 7 days from my partner account. which was really appreciated by me and my partner as we had a joint car insurance for that car. After 2 weeks I received an increase of £25 on my cancellation fee plus the amount owed After talking to then on the phone still wanted me to pay the increase. GREEDY and conning company never use them again I would not recommend to anyone regardless of what the situation Find a new quote get another insurance company to provide you cover Reviewed on: 12th July 2023

Stellar customer service

I explained to RAC that I was struggling with the cost of living and thinking about cancelling my membership. The customer service team were so helpful by offering to help spread my payments, adding deals to my package, and even giving me three months free. 10/10 Reviewed on: 1st June 2023

Appalling service watch for this con.

I made a mistake when applying for insurance. I entered the wrong date of an accident in that I dated the accident July 2020 when in actual fact the accident was September 2020. I also put that I was not at fault as it was a named driver who had the accident. Apparently as it was my policy I am at fault. The premium JUMPED by £358.64 to a total cost of £684.85. I cancelled the insurance. Went back onto an insurance comparison site with the now amended details and who should come up at a price of just under £400. Yes you,ve got it the RAC. So they wanted to charge over £200.00 for an error. I had also paid for my no claims to be protected. Reviewed on: 20th May 2023

Brilliant

Easiest company to use, helpful and friendly. Made it so simple and helped me with every question I had. Made me feel so at ease. Reviewed on: 18th May 2023

Rubbish customer service

Spoke to customer service. Stay well away from this company Reviewed on: 16th May 2023

Avoid the RAC Car Insurance

Truly awful to deal with and after we received our certificate we received a letter stating they would cancel our motor policy unless we paid extra administrative fees which they had added at a later stage. This company needs investigating by some sort of Insurance Authority. Avoid them at all costs. They are very difficult to contact once they get your money. Reviewed on: 13th May 2023

Terrible data management shocking systems to rip people off

If this company was based abroad, I would have thought this was a scan. They charged me £20 as they took the payment form card details from 12 months ago without checking with me the customer. Their responses via email are at best rude and dismissive. Do not use this service, they are shocking Reviewed on: 12th May 2023

Excellent and fast

This company always sorted and helped me in the worse moments I jad to go through with my car. I would absolutely recommend it to everybody! Reviewed on: 11th May 2023

RAC DO NOT DESERVE ANY STARS.

Incident in September 2022 and I’m STILL waiting for car to be repaired. Informed the earliest available appointment to sort car issues is 22 May!! This, despite car being assessed by garage in October…….. Charged £25 admin fee because I failed to tell them I’d taken early retirement! AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!! Reviewed on: 10th May 2023
