It seemed to be a fairly good price from a company I was comfortable with. You can only tell if an insurance company is good when you make a claim though, hence only four stars!

All went smoothly, despite car insurance being very much a distress purchase. Worthwhile to keep self snd named drivers covered, c/w RAC breakdown assistance. Hoping for an uneventful year.

On line RAC car insurance

I have had RAC car insurance for numerous years.........The reduction in quality of service will mean that I will never use it again.
1. I renewed my policy (I was pleasantly surprised that there had been a reduction in premium) but I feel that I was fully made aware about the lack of support for advisers over the phone that I was signing up to. I have had a online policy before, but have been able to sort things out using portal/chat/phone call in exceptional circumstances. The portal does not allow you to manage your policy effectively and the chatbot tells you that you can do things which you are unable to do such such as adding additional drivers. The chat is incredibly frustrating as it doesn't tell you why you are unable to do things the chatbot tells you you can do..
2. I was charged a £20 pound late payment fee. I can't remermber if I was asked to add card details at the time of renewable. The account I used to pay has not changed at all and there was lots of available funds to pay. Because you sent me an email saying I needed to go on to the portal as you couldn't take payment. The portal doesn't allow you to make a payement independently and all the advisers on the chat say is check with your bank. The banking ap showed nothing about a declined payment and I couldn't authorise the payment. I didn't want to have another late payment or risk having car insurance cancelled so wanted to pay immediately and this was rediculously difficult.
2. I was told I could add my 18 year old son who was learning to drive as a driver for zero fee when it turns out I couldn't and would need to pay an increased premium.

Hi Jane,


Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about the difficulties you’ve experienced with your policy, particularly around managing your policy online, making your payment, and adding your son as a learner driver.

We understand how frustrating it must have been to receive conflicting information and then find it difficult to get the support you needed. This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers.

We’d like the opportunity to look into the issues you’ve raised and see what assistance we can provide. We will be in touch with you directly to discuss this further.

Thank you again for bringing these concerns to our attention.


Many thanks,
Kirsty
