I got my renewal through the other week, they wanted £990 for it. So I thought feck em, Ill go somewhere else but I just did a quote online and it came back with £408 fully comp :shock:
Cue Level 1 sh*tty email:
To: AA car insurance,
CC: Everyone I know.
I have my car insured with you, it’s a 1990 Mazda Eunos Roadster and last year I paid around £450 for fully comp. insurance. I just received the renewal notice through the post and you (the AA) now want £990.83 for the same level of cover. This was fairly annoying, But wait. It gets better.
I just went to your website (www.theaa.com) and I did a quote for the same level of cover – it came back at £408.72. (on a side note that’s way more than directline.com).
£408.72 vs £990.82 though?? Where does the £580 extra come into it? Sure, I have aftermarket alloy wheels on the car which the website doesn’t take into account but they don’t warrant £580 of extra cover, surely? Actually I know full well they don’t.
I find it very hard to believe prices have changed that much in the week or so since the letter was sent. I wonder if you’d have said anything about the £408.72 quote if I’d taken up the £990 quote too.
Its scary to think how many people might not have the time to double-check renewals like this. Im glad Im not working away from home at the moment.
Anyway, sorry to moan but I’m very angry with the AA and I absolutely do not want to renew my insurance through you come 18th July. My family has been using AA services – loans, breakdown cover, driving lessons etc for years and years. Obviously, we will not continue to do so in future.
