Car Insurance

I recently renewed my car insurance with RAC which was a relatively straightforward process online. I changed my car shortly after the renewal & asked for a new quote. This was over £400 more than another quote from another well known insurer so I cancelled my RAC policy but am still waiting for the promised refund. This is another example of a company that is very quick to take money & very slow to return money owed

Please be assured that we will be in touch with you to see how we can help and get this sorted out for you.

Complicated and confusing. The first person we were connected to

The first person we were connected to, after being on the phone for a long time couldn't renew our insurance. We were then passed to "Sean" who was excellent and completed the renewal in minutes. Thank you "Sean"

Hi Drew,


Thanks for getting in touch and sharing your feedback with us. We really understand how frustrating it is to see your insurance go up, especially when you drive a smaller engine car that you'd expect to cost less to cover.

Insurance prices are rising across the board right now due to higher repair costs and parts technology, but we know that doesn't make it any easier. We will be in touch with you to see how we can help.


Many thanks,
Kirsty
