Phone for best price

Got a price for the next year but it had increased significantly. When I phoned the agent was able to discount me down to close to what I’m paying this year

Negative experience

I was with AA for a year, and their service has disappointed me on multiple occasions. First of all I got my car serviced with AA, I booked it due to a service discount which they “forgot to apply” and then continued to try charge around €1,300 for a car I brought to a mechanic and they said was perfectly fine. Secondly, I have recently left AA motor insurance due to their renewal offer being way higher than other providers. Lastly, I was encouraged to purchase AA membership for all these benefits I never used, they doubled the price after I cancelled my membership and continued charging me as it’s a “separate product” but never once thought to inform me over the phone when I was cancelling. I feel like it’s constantly hassle with this company. I wouldn’t recommend.

Shocking customer service

Tried simply adding a driver online but unable to process (received below message) …

Sorry, we're unable to make this change online right now.
Please contact us on Web Chat located at the bottom corner of your page
or click here to contact us on WhatsApp.

Webchat tempoairly unavailable ..
Then tried to whatsapp but apparently ‘temporairly unavaiable’..
…Then tried in contact on instagram only to have an automated reply saying that ‘we’re currently away’!!!!

Now on hold for 40 minutes with a receptionist picking up only to be told she has to transfer me... Bonkers

Then emailed them to call me so I don't have to waste more of my time.. only to for the reply that they'll get back in 2-3 days!!!

Shocking customer service - will think twice about renewing with them again!!

Awful company!

Awful company!

This is my second review on this. Long story short I was left in a dangerous situation of a breakdown. Took AA over 6 hours to come out with no communication. Customer service is shocking. Made a formal complaint and 2 months later still waiting for someone to contact me. When I call I'm left waiting for a long time and get no where. Got a reply to my review saying they apologize and to contact them again which I did and still being ignored. Honestly I don't know how this company is in business!

My wife's car broke down today on the M3. The AA said they would be approx 60-80mins before they would get out to her. That was 4hours ago and they still have not arrived. Everytime she rang for a update they said they would be with her in a few minutes. Absolute Disgrace!!

Avoid this company at all costs

I would strongly advise avoiding this company for car insurance. For two consecutive years their agents have made errors on my daughter's car insurance/renewal. Lasy year they admitted the error and I was charged the correct fee quoted, that was after I argued the case and pointed out the error made by their agent.

This year however, even after receiving a transcribe of my renewal call where you can clearly hear the agent stating that the price quoted includes breakdown assist etc. the company have continued to insist additional costs of almost €250 which they took from my bank card are correct and will not be discussed any further. The call clearly shows that I explained to the agent that I could not access the link to the renewal documentation, the agent stated that this often happens and went on to assure me on no less than 4 occasions the price quoted on the day included breakdown assist.

I have taken some very good advice from the CCPC and am currently in the process of lodging a formal complaint with fspo.ie on this matter

5th November 2026
After receiving a response to this revoew from the AA (see below) I reached out, as requested, and provided a copy of the emails, call recordings and the response letter received. I then received the following email on 4th Nov.:

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to The AA, We’re glad to let you know our teams have now resolved your request and this has been closed.

Have a great day,

Best regards,
The AA Customer Service Team

No phone call, or further response with regards to the matters raised. A further waste of my time. I suppose after my previous experience I shouldn't have expected much more.

Karen O'Hora McGowan,

Thank you for taking the time to share this detailed feedback regarding your recent renewal experience and the difficulties you have encountered with our team. We take all feedback seriously, and we are concerned to hear about the discrepancies regarding the pricing of your daughter's policy and the inclusion of breakdown assistance.

We'd like to look into this properly for you. Could you email us at service@theaa.ie with your daughter's policy number and the best number to reach you on?

Just got billed double the membership price this year without any sort of notification. Just saw the charge on my card. Something similar happened with my partner recently too. That is fraud!! Breakdown cover is available much cheaper online from reputable companies. Cancelled my membership!
