Reasonable quote

Reasonable quote. Shouldn’t have to negotiate as a loyal customer to reduce cost of cover.

This happens every year

This happens every year, I took out RAC recovery aa couple of weeks before I renewed my insurance. Every year I get an offer free or cheap recover but I have to cancel my RAC recovery after 40+ years to start a new RAC recovery to take advantage.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I am sorry you are unhappy with the terms and conditions of our free RAC breakdown promotion. It is optional so if you would rather keep your existing RAC breakdown in place this is something you can do.

I will send you an email, if you have any further questions about the promotion or any other questions, you can reply to the email and we will be happy to help.

Thanks, Rachael - RAC Car Insurance

I found quotes quite confusing and not easy to understand. After taking out insurance, I then received emails quoting the same cover at lower prices ?

Hi David,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

We're sorry the quotes were confusing. The emails you received show the core policy price and do not include the Plus Cover options added to your policy, which is why the prices differ.

If you have any questions or need any further support, please reach out to the team, who will be happy to help.
