The price was really competitive.

The price was really competitive & the features included were just what I needed. The online portal is very easy to navigate & I sorted my cover within a few minutes. I have not claimed on my car insurance for over 40 years, so I cannot comment on what the service would be like in the event of a claim. But I am pleased with the service so far.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration this extra charge has caused.

We always want to be clear and upfront about our pricing. We would love the chance to check what happened here and make sure everything was calculated correctly.

So we can look into this for you, please email your policy details to socialresponders@bglgroup.co.uk. Your case will be dealt with by BISL Limited, who arrange and administer your car insurance policy on behalf of RAC.

Easy website and good quote.

I used confused.com to start with and went into the RAC quote. The website is easy to navigate and they had the better quote.

Had to make a claim for my sunroof that just exploded on the motorway. No idea why - think hot weather. Used their repairer. Initially RAC tried to charge me £100 excess but my policy said £60 so they just charged that. Car now fixed. Their renewal was more so went elsewhere. Shame as they were good (£50 off a service on my drive) and my new underwriter is Ageas (same as it was before!)
