I paid for the premium last week

I paid for the premium last week. I have had no experience of your competence as a Company only relying on other people's experience. I will make a more balanced assessment at the end!

RAC should use first class post for important issues.

Re: Natwest/Royal Bank of Scotland
A letter from RAC Insurance dated 18 July 2026,
informing me that there was an issue with my payment arrived this morning.

Hi Deidre,

Hello, thank you for your review. We understand that receiving a letter regarding a payment issue can be concerning. Our first point of contact for important updates is email, and where an email remains unread, we follow up with a letter to ensure important information reaches our customers.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and hope this helps to clarify our communication process.

The website isn't easy

The website isn't easy. Perhaps it's that way so customers pay the £25 fee for an Advisor to sort it.

Reply from RAC Car Insurance

Hello, we're sorry to hear that you found the website difficult to use. This is an online-only policy, which means there isn't a contact centre available for policy servicing or assistance. Instead, we have a dedicated webchat team who can support customers with queries and guidance through the online process.

We'd also like to clarify that all administration fees for making changes to an online policy are £15. These charges are not intended to encourage customers to use an advisor service, but to cover the administration involved in processing policy changes.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, as this helps us identify areas where we can improve the online experience.

We will be in touch to see if we can help you further.

I have claims showing on the CUE…

I have claims showing on the CUE database, these are with Covea Insurance both of which have been proven no fault to me, RAC are stating that my premium will increase but the underwriters of this policy are Covea who supplied the document stating the claims were no fault. But the document from your own underwriters doesn't appear to be proof enough!

Reply from RAC Car Insurance

Hi Mr Mooney,

Hello, we're sorry to hear that you're unhappy with your experience. When a policy is issued, we ask customers to declare all claims, including non-fault claims, as these are taken into account by the underwriter and can affect the premium offered. We appreciate that this may seem confusing, particularly where liability has been confirmed in your favor. We will be in touch to discuss this with you further and review your concerns.

The reduced the price

The reduced the price - significantly - compared with last year so I did not shop around (very clever on their part eh???). Good cover at an acceptable price - what is not to like
