“Would rate lower if possible. Informed about accident not my fault as per requirement and they just took over. No communication between them and subcontractors. Intimidating text and calls from subcontractors. Did not listen proper to what they where told causing more hassle. Cancelled courtesy car as apparently repairs took too long albeit they were informed that the spare parts would take up to 3 months to arrive. Never short of excuses or trying to put blame on you. Up to an hour wait in call line. Can't get anymore unethical then this. Should you are with RAC my advise is everything in writing albeit don't expect a reply but at least you have prove of what you informed them off.”

“They will rip you off… Please be away from this RAC brand at all possible. I went for a home, buildings and contents insurance quote via money supermarket. After their search their results and Rac home insurance came as cheapest and I went ahead and took insurance. After I took insurance , I realised the insurance RAC offered is for contents only. So I tried to contact them to cancel it. I took insurance on 2 Nd jan Sunday Nd Monday being bank holiday no one was there to answer call. So I send a mail on 4 th to cancel the policy. Then they asked me to call them and when I called they want me to pay 20£ admin fee for creating an account and then money for using the service for one day . I have explained about the misadvertisement of the quote and I only realised the insurance only for contents after I buy. Money supermarket clearly showed the insurance for contents and buildings. I have to speak to money supermarket for their wrong way of advertising also. But they were adamant and they wanted to have 20£ for just creating an account on them. They were not listening their offices were closed on Sunday And Monday as they want that 20£ regardless . Their only claim, even if they miss sell something , we customers to pay price if admin fee. First time I am experiencing a company this greedy for money. Avoid them .”

“HORRIFIC. Avoid at all cost. Over priced, hidden cost, rude staff which even gave me fake numbers to call while trying to resolve an incident which they said it’s not their problem and hung up! Most unhelpful service. Took me several phone calls and 5 weeks later to finally speak to someone who managed to help me that works for another company. Without his help I would of got my car sorted privately and changed insurance immediately. Probably the worst service I have ever received in my life has to be from RAC car insurance. BEWARE!!! I shall be making family and friends aware to save them the headache and to be financially better off. Huge mistake going to a company I thought would be reliable, helpful and look after their customers.”

“The response time to telephone calls is appalling. I waited pointlessly for 45 minutes! There was lots of recorded rubbish being spouted at me, none of which I wanted to know or asked for. Then I still could not get through to ask my simple query. And I still do not have an answer. Cheap insurance but shockingly poor customer service.”

“After 5 years with RAC insurance and despite 8 years NCB and with hardly any mileage last two years they wanted to increase my premium by nearly £90 to £450. When I phoned the customer service was diabolical and bordering on rude. Cancelled my policy immediately and transferred to another company saving over £250 for better cover.”

“I insure my car with RAC for one year I go to them with 19 years no claims bonus I leave them with 9 years I have no crashes dry very safely and they take 10 years no claims bonus away from you leaves me with 9 years that is alright offer so my advice is do not use RAC insurance if you have any more than 9 years no claims bonus because you will not gain any more from them please take no and do not use them they will steal your no claims bonus.”

“Absolute RIP off! Steer clear. After ringing to make an enquiry re adding my son to my insurance - the call handler made a small admin change by changing my marital status to separated which increased my insurance by £115 per year & also charged an expensive admin fee for the privallage. Why should living apart from my husband change my driving habits & changing M to S on my documents cost £50?”

“I sold my car 3 months after taking out a policy with RAC Insurance. Total annual cost £279.00. Along with the fee for 3 months insurance, which I have no problem with, they charged me a £55.00 Cancellation Fee which I find disgusting. I will never use RAC insurance again. I was told on the phone that "our terms of cancellation are written in our documentation". Yes, they are but few people plan on cancelling car insurance. RAC has lost my other car insurance plus breakdown. Yes, RAC. They are MY terms and conditions!”

“Found my renewal was doubled in price after one claim ( my fault). When I tried to find out the details of the claim made by the other party was told they could not give me details. Brokers they used (zenith). Never contacted me to advise me a claim had been made and despite promises made by the RAC. neither they or the brokers bothered to send me any further claim details which I needed for my new insurance company. Would not recommend them to anyone wanting car insurance. Very poor communication and no interest in trying to help.”

“When changing to a new car The RAC were very poor. Tried to charge us double the rate found on comparison sites or a very large charge to leave - no interest in keeping us as a customer at all - would not in anyway recommend them.”

“Ok (for doing nothing at all) till I needed to cancel the policy. £55 fee for that is scammer price! Just taking the opportunity to rip people off. Wouldn’t insure with them again and would advise others not to either.”

“Obtained a quote to change my car was advised £10.53 would be returned. Next day went to complete and had to pay £26.45. Customer Service refused to assist saying rates change would not even drop their £25 fee. Shocking for such a respected company.”
