“After breaking down an hour from home it took 21 hours for a local garage to get us home...abysmal customer service..complaints team even worse..so much for their TV adverts.better iff breaking down and sorting it out yourself and least it will be the truth.”

“My brother in law was sure he had purchased the most comprehensive trvel abroad car insurance they offered. Yet when we hit a deer 2am on a french motorway we were towed to a garage, left to sleep with our toddler in the car all night (despite promises of a hotel) and then woke to find not only that the garage was closed all weekend but to a message that RAC wouldn't help further because it was an 'accident' not a 'breakdown'. This is not clear on your website, so if you purchase from them go through the contract with a fine tooth comb and be prepared for them to find any excuse not to help you.”

“Absolutely terrible experience, I was not very aware about this spy black box thing that MUST be fitted in the car (I didn’t know it was mandatory) so they decided to cancel my policy, I called 4 or 5 times different services, they sent me else to come back eventually to the service I called the first time! WTF? Unbelievable! Worst experience ever, nobody is interested to look after you, they don’t even care if you cancel the policy, wahooo I just cannot believe how unprofessional RAC are! Shocking experience at a very high price! That’s a f...ing joke”

“Moved house last year and was charged £25 for the honour then my premiums increased even though I’m now in a so called better postcode. To top that off I sold my car a few weeks ago and was charged a £39 cancellation fee. Just when I thought that was it I was sent a letter demanding £21.44 as a cancellation fee! I’ve paid it to stop any hassle from them but I’m waiting for my complaint to go through their process. After this I’m going to get in touch with the financial ombudsman. Avoid at all costs”

“Absolutely the worst company to insure your car with - AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Completely uninterested in your requirements basically 'the computer says, no' Was charged £55 cancellation fee for being 3 days without a car - they would not allow me to keep my cover until my new car arrived. I would never insure with them ever again.”

“Painful process to cancel a renewal....can't do it on the website...only doable by calling the contact centre who took 25 mins to answer...never again and have also cancelled my RAC membership and switched to the AA”

“Don't be fooled by the household name RAC are a total RIP OFF on all accounts from Changing your policy slightly to address they charge for everything . No customer service at all . They need reporting”

“£54 cancellation fee, absolute daylight robbery, and to top it off, completely disinterested & unhelpful call staff! Read off their little sheet, no attempt to resolve issue. Hope this gets read by both the RAC people and others because come November when I have to renew my breakdown cover I’ll be cancelling that as well”

“You automatically renewed it with no option to cancel this. You then charged me for insurance I didn't require as the vehicle was off the road. You are the most unhelpful company I've ever had the misfortune to deal with. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!”

“Miss sold an insurance policy! Asked them to check on two seprate occasions that I was covered in certain European countries before agreeing on the policy. They confirmed I was covered, when the documents came through it stated otherwise! Cost me £200 more than other insurance companies and they said nothing they can do about it! What if I had not check and had an accident! Currently taking further action against them.”

“RAC motorbike insurance … don’t go near them. Have breakdown coverage in my insurance policy and I was told that they had no record of it. Charged me £150 to come to a breakdown and then I had to drive with a car battery between my legs to get home. I’ve been told that it will take 21 days for “ customer care”to respond to any emails. So I’ve been paying for a policy for 1 1/2 years that didn’t exist. Horrible RAtC”

“The most awful experience ever. Little or no level of expertise or customer service. Following an a terrible accident, not my fault, rang the RAC. 45 minutes later struggling to understand what I was being told. No help whatsoever, in any respect, no support. 3 or 4 promised call backs never came in. One operative allowed me to get as far as a polite "I am not happy with the service" before she put the phone down on me (Sophie, claims dept., 12.07 on 11/8/21) Filed 2 complaints. heard nothing. On top of which my renewal is due but renewal email has not reached me and a promised resend 2 days ago has not materialised. I have been with the RAC motor insurance for one year, and that is one year too long. If I could give them minus 5 stars I would. Don't go to this company if you expect and help, support, or customer service. A low quote is not everything.”

“As part of the RAC insurance Auto Windscreen - Ashford Middlesex was there chosen service provider to fix a tiny chip in windscreen. Normally the repairer van will come to my home or work location, but RAC said I need to take my car to their garage. When I arrived there were no space to park my car as stff cars has take all available parking bays and rest of the area blocked by their company repair vans. So I had to park near to available space. No one greeted me and man came with Auto windscreen t-shirt from inside garage and said "move your car" . I informed him I got the 10.30 appointment and where should I park or handover keys to their office. He said we don't have office here and very rude and unprofessional, no customer service skills at all. Would say felt I was treated racist manner due to my skin colour. Poor workman ship and after the repair, new 2 cut marks in the windscreen and the repair job itself is poor quality as they did not clean properly before filling then damaged chip and visible from in /out. This echo the previous comment made bow by another customer for poor workmanship as careless work carried out and left with new cut marks in windscreen and all glue residual for me to clean. Never use this garage again, avoid at all costs, seems they don't care anyway and bit racists.”

“We had two cars with them. The renewals came through as very much the same as last year. Having read that insurance fees had dropped due to COVID I went on the comparison sites and got the same cover for the two cars for £500 less. Even there the RAC cover was £100 less per car car than they wanted to charge me. I understand they can't charge existing customers less than new ones now. The only way to contact them is by phone. I spent ages on the phone and never got through. You can't email them. Thus I cancelled the direct debits. Since then we have been getting increasingly threatening letters and emails. Why should I have to pay to cancel? It takes one press of a button by one of their under paid staff. I am taking the matter up with the FSA for harassment and I would urge others to complain as well. They are nothing more than a bunch of crooks.”
