“Ambushed!”

written by Grouchmonkey on 22/01/2023

I renewed my car insurance with AA for two cars. Just before the new policies started, I got enmials form AA saying that, because one of my named drivers had not disclosed a claim within the last 5 years, they would be charging me £150 extra. My named driver could remember no such thing so I did a bit of research. Turns out there was a no fault claim for chipped windscreen on her car in December 2018. Re-running the quotes I found most insurance companies did not apply any increased premium for this (and, indeed, it had not come up when insurance was renewed with Admiral in 2019, RAC in 2020 or Saga in 2021). Told AA I wanted to cancel and, surprise, surprise, the cost of cancellation came to about - £150! This was nothing but a shakedown and I will never use the AA again. Avoid!
