Insurance is getting expensive

Insurance is getting expensive, in spite of not making any claims. You also managed to overcharge me. (your mistake)

Unexpected extra charge

I had to switch from the AA to the RAC to insure our car. Both in turn, after accepting my request and taking a reasonable premium charged us a significant extra amount for a small scrape in a car park my wife had had about 5 years ago. (Admittedly we did not challenge our then insurer's poor handling of the claim, [paying a big bill without asking for competitive quotes and ignoring poor parking by the damaged vehicle], so it just went on record causing both companies to charge us extra.) Lesson learned.

Hi Tim,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration regarding the impact the previous claim had on your premium.

Insurance premiums are calculated using a range of factors, and unfortunately, claims history can have an impact on the price offered, regardless of the size of the claim or when it occurred. This was discussed with you in the emails we sent when you contacted us regarding this matter.

We appreciate that this may not have been the outcome you were expecting, but we aim to provide clear information around how claims can affect premiums and the factors considered when a policy is assessed.

Thank you again for sharing your experience and for taking the time to provide your feedback.

Following an earlier negative review I was called by Kirsty at RAC ( Customer Services?) to discuss my comments. There followed a very helpful and positive discussion about my concerns and an apology.I was reassured by the clarifications outlined and subsequently I received a very helpful email outlining some further steps to take.Altogether a vast improvement.Thank you.

I hadn't long joined the RAC having left the AA when my car wouldn't start at home. The operative came out within the promised time and diagnosed a duff battery which was replaced. He ran a diagnostic having disconnected the system and also took the car on a test run. Excellent.
