Was very very shocked

Was very very shocked that by only informing RAC of change in my office job from secretary to archivist my policy went up significantly!!! It's no wonder people don't come forward in reporting minor personal changes!!

Hi Pauline,

We’re sorry to hear that you were surprised by the increase in your premium following the change in your occupation. We understand how frustrating it can be when a seemingly minor change results in a significant difference in price.

Premiums are calculated based on a range of risk factors, including occupation, and even changes that may appear relatively small can affect the insurer’s assessment of risk. We do appreciate your feedback and understand your concerns about the impact this can have on customers.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Very competitive.

Despite the site being fully automated (no human voice) the experience was trouble free from beginning to end. Everything explained fully (what was and what wasn't covered). Price was much improved on my renewal and very competitive with other quotes. Overall very satisfied.

Great company as we already have emergency cover with RAC
We found the price of the motor insurance very competitive we had been paying over£100 a month with a well known company with the same benefits we've saved over £50 with RAC we will definitely recommend this company to our friends

Simple process and a good price

The whole process of taking out this insurance was easy and quick. The original quote given was one of the cheapest I received and the policy covered everything I wanted.
