I got my quote and was just about to buy it when I realised I had put 1st September instead of 31st August (just 1 day) so I went into edit and changed the date and it went up by £9. When i queried this with the online rep Michael he told me that the nearer the time of renewal the more expensive it becomes. I’ve never heard so much rubbish in my life and i told him no thank you. So I went elsewhere. If they are going to rip you of like that what on earth will they be like if I claimed for an accident.

Reply from RAC Car Insurance
Hi Joan,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience when making the change to your renewal date and understand why the increase in price was frustrating.
Insurance premiums are calculated based on a range of factors, and the price can change when details such as the policy start date are amended. While we appreciate that a one-day difference may not appear significant, the quote generated can be affected by the date selected.
We’re sorry that the explanation you received from Michael did not reassure you or provide the clarity you were looking for. We certainly would not want you to feel that you were being misled or treated unfairly.
We’re disappointed that you decided to take your insurance elsewhere and appreciate you sharing your experience, as feedback such as yours helps us identify where we can improve how we explain our pricing.

I rang the RAC to declare a speeding fine and was told to ring back with the official details given me by the police. When I did ring back with the details of this fine, I was informed that I needed different information, which I didn't have to hand. Still unresolved as I don't know what else is needed.

Hi David,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you were left unsure about what information was required when declaring your speeding fine.
It is very important that we have the correct details of the offence added to your policy, as there are several different speeding offense codes. The specific code you have been endorsed with can be found on the DVLA website, which should provide the information needed to ensure your policy is updated correctly.
We appreciate that having to contact us again for further information can be frustrating, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We hope this helps clarify what is required and allows you to get this resolved.

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!
