RAC offered different levels of comprehensive cover. The price seemed fair. RAC is a long established name in the world of motoring. I am already a member of RAC Breakdown

The experience was good but I would like to be able to communicate with you more easily. I have had several emails off you and a couple of texts but my reply could not be sent.

Where is customer service…

Why is it impossible to speak to real people rather than a binary virtual assistant who was unable to answer a simple question. I am now stuck in limbo with nowhere to turn to.

Hi Gerald,

We’re sorry to hear you’ve found it difficult to get the assistance you needed. Your policy is an online-only policy type, which means support is provided through our webchat service.

We appreciate that this may not have been the experience you were expecting, and we’re sorry the virtual assistant was unable to answer your question or get you through to an online advisor.

I will be in touch to help.

Very close to switching because of arrangement fee

I was very close to switching to a different provider as the arrangement fee is ridiculous obviously a semi hidden charge, so same premium can be offered to existing customers as new to comply with the law. I could of saved a significant amount I just couldn’t be bothered to switch this year but will be next.
