Consumers find the online platform simple and easy to navigate, allowing them to arrange and manage their motor insurance quickly without any unnecessary complications.

It was not very easy to get in contact with an agent to get this done as there seemed to be a reluctance to take part hence doing it on line. I wanted to bring all the family’s vehicles under one company. The price for this is a higher premium than I was paying with LV. But I will wait and see if this changes in 12 months

Hi,


Thanks for bringing your family's vehicles together under one policy with us.

I’m sorry to hear it was difficult to reach an agent and felt like hard work. We want to make speaking with us simple and straightforward, so I'm sorry that wasn't your experience.

We really appreciate your trust in moving over to us from LV. We'll do everything we can to give you peace of mind and great service across all your vehicles.

We will be in touch with you to see how we can help.


Many thanks,
Kirsty

Helpful customer service staff.

The price quoted for the car insurance was very reasonable and being able to phone and talk to a member of staff to answer my queries was very helpful, thank you.

Good price and cover.

The price was £100 cheaper than my renewal and for an extra fiver I got BASIC breakdown cover with RAC. Couldn't argue with that.

Was simple and easy to do as we weren't changing anything. Only thing to improve it would be a person to speak to without going into a long queue with options and a lot of spiel before getting there!!

Hi David,


Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We're really sorry to hear about your experience with the price increase after your policy started. We know how frustrating that is, especially for a no-fault claim.

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.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to get things sorted for you soon.


Many thanks,
Kirsty
