Had a competitive car insurance deal over the phone. All terms and conditions also read out. Both policy and other documents received via email immediately. Superb RAC service.

No telephone customer service and poor automated bot support.

The Website BOT was not useful, I went round in circles multiple times. Then information it gave was only partially correct. The fact that RAC declare that the do not provide a telephone customer service is worrying based on the issues that arose when I was simply changing address. Then the charge was a surprise and seemed excessive compared to my experience of updating address elsewhere

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you found the online chatbot frustrating and that the information provided was not always accurate or helpful when updating your address. We understand how important it is to have clear guidance and a straightforward process, and we apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Regarding the charge for changing your address, this is calculated and applied by the underwriter based on your new postcode and their underwriting criteria. We appreciate that an unexpected charge can be frustrating and understand your concerns about the cost.

We will review the change and associated charges then be in touch.

Hi Malcolm,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your disappointment regarding the increase in your renewal quote, especially when your personal circumstances have remained unchanged.

Renewal premiums are recalculated annually based on a combination of individual policy factors and broader industry changes—such as rising repair, inflation, and market-wide claims costs.

We appreciate your comments and thank you for taking the time to post your review.

I have been a road member of the RAC for many years but this is the first time that I have taken out a motor insurance policy with them. I’m hoping that I will not need their services in any capacity in the coming year. Obtaining and accepting a competitive motor Insurance quote from them was very straightforward.
The only drawback was the limiting 28day availability. I had to resubmit a number of times in order to retain continuity of Cover.

Simple to Renew


It was simple to renew, I received an email stating my car insurance was due for renewal, and a price quoted. If I was happy with the price quoted, there was nothing to do and payment will be taken from my credit card which they had on record. It was that simple.

I stayed with RAC but they were no the most competitive quote.
It was also difficult to actually talk to a person and as a pensioner I do not like dealing with my personal finances etc online.
When I did speak to a person, she was very good and understanding but was unable to offer a better deal.
