“Been broken down since 5pm reported that fan belt had snapped they send a small van with no parts just to confirm what I said. Then promise to get me a tow truck within 1hr 30mins. Two hours later still waiting an told we can expect to wait much longer. I’m very disappointed have a young child and no toilets. The service has fallen down the ranks, and cannot be relied upon.”

“Had real problems getting through to cancel my membership when I sold my car and membership was automaticaly renewed and charged to my credit card! After 45 mins on hold spread over 3 separate attempts to get through, I eventually got through to the right department and the gentleman cancelled my membership without further incident, I initially set out to leave a terrible reveiw here whilst waiting for my call to be answered, however in hindsight it is fair to say that once I'd actually got through the call centre staff were eager to be as helpful as possible,. I have never had occasion to call out roadside assistance so cannot comment on this aspect of the service.”

“Bad bad and unprofessional company I applied for a loan online & I received the email confirmation about final checks with in two days it’s more than a month now I made 5 calls and 3 emails no answer so far. And hard search on my file the reason I stupidly applied with them cuz of their advertising rate of 2.8% but after one month they sent me a email with subject of Good news your loan been approved with rate of 17.8%. Please please don’t even bother such a unprofessional organisation.”

“DO NOT TAKE OUT VEICLE INSURANCE WITH THE AA. (Similar experience to Sarah Edgerton posted 2 weeks ago) Another vehicle hit mine whilst they were reversing. The driver admitted liability, so this should have been simple for the AA to deal with you might think...think again!! I have spent hours on the phone trying to get through to the AA, and been passed around. Appalling service. I have spent a ridiculous amount of time sorting out the repairs to my car, dealing with the underwriters, dealing with Claimfast; including responding to their request for a written statement of the incident, sketching the incident etc. REMEMBER, the other driver admitted liability and had informed their insurers (who have written to me saying they accepted their client's liability and would not be contesting) and wrote a note (again) accepting liability, all submitted to Claimfast. I've also to make calls to the recovery/repair garage and arranged my courtesy car. Throughout, this jaw-droppingly bad experience, AA and Claimfast etc. have assured me that, as the injured party, I will not suffer financially, which as I wasn't at fault I didn't doubt. Today I was informed my car is repaired but I have to pay the garage £350 to get it back! why, because the AA has not waived my excess, which as they have the third party's admission of liability is normally the case. I made more calls Claimfast and the garage. They say the AA is at fault, the AA blame Claimfast. Apparently, I must pay the garage and then try to get my money back via the Uninsured Loss Recovery Claim team. I've been told I should get it back eventually. So, to recap, my car was hit by another vehicle, that driver accepted liability, yet my insurer is not representing me, is not liaising with the other driver's insurers and is now financially penalising me. I bitterly regret taking out AA insurance, I thought they were a reputable company and wish I had accepted the other driver's insurer's (AGEAS) offer to deal with this.”

“AVOID CAR INSURANCE AT ALL COSTS - Poor Service When Making A Claim!!! What can I say, the way the AA has dealt with my vehicle claim is disgusting. I had an accident on the 17th of January and I have fully comprehensive insurance. The third party who hit my vehicle's insurance company called me the day after the accident to state that he has accepted full liability for the claim and that they would like to handle the claim, they could pick my vehicle up the following week and deliver a curtesy car. I however decided to continue to let the AA deal with my claim after all I had comprehensive insurance, what a fool. I had to make all the calls to the garage, the underwriter and the hire car company and would you believe I have only got my car back TODAY, the 8th of MAY !!!!. Then to add insult to injury they have not got the acceptance of liability back from the third party so I have had to pay the excess even though it is clear to all that the accident is non fault due to the nature of it. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE avoid at all costs, pay the extra £20 and go with someone who will provide the service that you pay for!!!! I have raised a complaint and I am also going to seek advice as in my eyes they have not met the standard level of service THEY PROMISE when taking your money. I have put in a complaint but I am not holding out much hope of this being dealt with anytime soon - I will update the complaint with the outcome of it if possible.”

“Little disappointed in the fact that they charged £25 for me to change my private number plate to the original, in the past other companies have wavered this.”

“I changed my car and tried to amend my policy. Cost was significantly more than I had anticipated so I ended up cancelling my policy and taking out a new policy with another provider. I was told there would be a £50 refund on the remaining cover but it could only be credited to the card with which I had paid in full for the policy @ 8 months earlier. I explained that I no longer had the credit card and I had closed my account with Newday card services. I challenged this, only to be told that if Newday could not accept the payment it would bounce back and then the AA would issue a cheque (this is apparently to comply with Money Laundering regs). This was around 10 weeks ago and to date I have not received any refund. Also I've had no help in tracing the money from either the AA or Newday Card Services. I've made numerous phone calls, sent lots of emails and even written to Newday. Apparently I now have to complain to the Financial Ombudsman. I have had loans from the AA in the past and previous car insurance policies. However, I will not be using their services again in the future.”

“This has to be the worse service firm I have ever used, first they give out 0845 numbers to use which cost if using a mobile. The insurance is a waste of time as never covers the full cost of the repair and will use every reason as to why not. They are totally inflexible and I very much regret renewing my policy with them. And if you try calling the complaints department they never answer just left waiting for ever.”

“Home insurance not car. Did not need to claim for anything. Best value when took out policy a year ago. Significant rise in cost this year so did not renew. Nothing negative to say but no need to test their systems and services so nothing specially positive either.”
