Criminals. I changed my address, moving within the same postcode to a flat with a garden, three minutes walk away, and my renewal quote went up 6 times, from £519 to £3000. I couldn't get an explanation why from any of the machines who work there. Awful

I have car insurance with them about 3 years and when I want change address they said is not possible and cancel my policy and offer new one for 4k per year and £130 cancelation fee !!!!! I pay £35 full including break downs cover. more like 10 years no NCD. I said I call back and will research. When I call back offer was £1500 per year and £70 cancelation fee but different person. Something is wrong here I call back with 10 minutes cancel my policy even new person don't know I speak with someone before. My wife renew offer £500 more. Never again !!!!!!

never sent me a renewal letter then just renewed my insurance without my permission, increased the cost by £500 even though I now had a years no claims and a year of having a black box score above 75% and will be over 25yo half way through the year, then charged me £75 to cancel the policy, when I rang within minutes of being informed the policy had begun - simply appalling - avoid wherever possible

We are both pensioners and unfortunately we have both had accidents within the last month, Which we were the innocent parties in. ln mine a lorry took me of the road and the lorry company even rang me to apologise and ask me how the claim was going...After £350 in excess and £81. to alter our policy which we may get £50 eventually the RAC and their side kick AGEAS have REFUSED TO SPEAK AND HELP TWO PENSIONERS..They are the worst companies I have ever had to deal with..My adviceeveryone is to go with anyone apart from RAC and their AGEAS side kick they don't even deserve one star but this website doesn't seam to have that facility

They keep harassing me for 25.00 despite me cancelling my insurance within a couple of days as my car ended up being scrapped. I will be reporting rac for harassment if they carry on.

Absolutely thugs, they make me £55 for cancellation and £61 extra for nothing. I will never use this company again. They have a ridiculous customer service a bunch of unprofessional team.

Absolutely pathetic service, had an accident which was not my fault three days later and still no courtesy car, been on the phone in total 2 hours 45 minutes and still getting nowhere. Would definitely not recommend RAC insurance, would rather pay a little more for someone like Direct Line whose business is solely insurance, my husband had a claim a few years ago and it was dealt with promptly and efficiently.

I had a policy with RAC changed my adddress and the underwriters didn’t like my new address and I made a claim and it all had an impact and they cancelled my policy and charged me for the rest of the yearly payment. Didn’t explain things very well.

Insurance premium is rather low, although far from the lowest. Changes of address and cancelling come with ridiculously high fees. Can't make them online, need to call. I will not be using RAC INSURANCE ever again.

Automatic renewal at uncompetitive rate, way higher than last year despite no claims; you have to jump through hoops and have to hang on the phone to cancel - clearly hoping to make money by making it difficult to cancel - I won't use them for anything in future.

Read the reviews before taking out insurance with this company. They are very low for a reason. I recently sold my car as I have not been using it. I informed RAC and they want to charge £55 cancellation fee! I know there will be a small admin charge but £55 is ridiculous. Others like AA car insurance charge a more reasonable £30. I made no claims during my period with them and the £55 was about a quarter of my yearly full comp insurance price! Rip off company. I urge you to go elsewhere. I for one am telling as many people as possible to avoid this company.

Lost £26+ of policy cost by selling car and cancelling with 3 months left on the Policy. Greedy as no refund given when car was hardly used during lockdowns. I will never use RAC again.
