It seemed to be a fairly good price from a company I was comfortable with. You can only tell if an insurance company is good when you make a claim though, hence only four stars!

All went smoothly, despite car insurance being very much a distress purchase. Worthwhile to keep self snd named drivers covered, c/w RAC breakdown assistance. Hoping for an uneventful year.

Usually cheaper than most for me and you get some good discounts. Never used them for a claim but never had a problem with them.

Renewed car insurance poilcy over the phone. The lady that took the call was very pleasant and professional. The whole process took only a few minutes and the best part was that it was a good few pounds cheaper than last year.

BULLYING and THREATENING ME with COLLECTION AGENCIES even though my debt is on hold
Following my experience where my insurance renewed for 38 days but I had to scrap my car and RAC demand I now pay them £197 (approx) - I made a complaint as I feel that they treat customers unfairly and are not transparent in their communication at all. You are now BULLYING ME and threatening me with COLLECTION AGENCIES
For example, if my year's insurance by DD came to £404 a year (1.11p per day) then why are they not only charging me a cancellation feel of £45, another £45 for intermediary services (so think twice before you sign up for breakdown, extra legal etc - all very basic provision by the way) but £136.04 for insurance, which equates to £3.58 per day.
My 'Debt' has been put on hold until 24.09.26 but today I received 2 demands for payment in full (the person I last spoke to removed the cancellation fee of £45) and they state they will pass the debt to a COLLECTION AGENCY if I do not pay immediately!
As far as I am aware, I was told that my debt was on hold so why am I being sent threatening emails? Also, I made it very clear which email i wanted communication sent to but they have (of course) sent these demands to me via TEXT and the email address I asked not to be used. Well done RAC for your bullying and incompentence.
Your agents have not even asked me if I can afford to pay this amount in one go and your website does not allow me to change payment methods. So me cancelling my Direct Debit as I cannot have this amount drawn on my account - will be seen as refusal to pay. I have not refused to pay what I owe but we are in dispute about how much!

I'm truly sorry to hear about the stress and frustration this has caused you during an already difficult time. Scrapping your car is stressful enough without having to worry about unexpected costs, automated payment demands, or confusing calculations.

So we can look into this for you, please email your policy details to socialresponders@bglgroup.co.uk. Your case will be dealt with by BISL Limited, who arrange and administer your car insurance policy on behalf of RAC.
Please rest assured that we take your feedback seriously, especially regarding how we communicate and how we support you with payment options. Once you send over your details, we'll get right on it to help clear this up for you.

Cancellation charges
The website would not allow me to add a driver to the policy before it started with no explanation. When chatting to the company, they assured me they could try to add them, with the same result. They then charged £90 to cancel a policy that hadn't even started and did not provide a receipt, document on the account or explanation of charges without having to contact them directly. Completely unhelpful and took a long time to resolve.

Insurance Renewal
Spoke with Tracey (Tracy) today to discuss my insurance renewal quote.
What a lovely lady, credit to your company. Not only reduced my quote, but did it with kindness and such polite professionalism.
Customer service is to me more important than online quote tools.
Such a credit to your company. Thank you Tracey.
