Thanks so much for your lovely feedback, Jill. We’re really glad to hear you felt genuinely listened to and well looked after from start to finish and hope everything is ok now. 😊

Not what I expected

Can’t fault the AA’s part in the handling of my claim.
But, the distance and working hours of their authorised repairer and the car rental company’s call handlers, along with crossed communication, has resulted in a poor experience and low rating.

Hi Andrea, we’re sorry to hear that the repairer wasn’t local and that you had some issues with the rental car. We hope you’ve been able to share this feedback, and that the repairs themselves went smoothly in the end.

We’re really glad to hear that you felt your claim was handled well by our team 💛.

Hit from behind

I contacted the AA.
The young lady from the AA was polite, helpful and gave clear information concerning the plan going forward.

Everything was well organised and efficient.

Very happy with the AA’s organisation , the service from the repair garage and also the hired car company
