    I got in an accident and we both assert that the other is at fault. Their insurance has taken statements, collected photos and have denied fault. AAA (my insurance) hasn't even taken my statement yet and it's been 8 days. :( It should be of the utmost importance to get the statements from both parties IN A TIMELY manner so that their recollections are recent and clear. I am VERY DISPLEASED with AAA. Their pricing is good, so I gave an extra star for affordability.

    I am writing to express my extreme disappointment and frustration regarding the service I received on 3-3-2026. I have been a loyal AAA member for 24 years, yet the treatment I experienced during a recent breakdown was totally outrageous. When I called for a tow, I was told there was no record of my membership number and one of their service representatives hung up on me while I was seeking assistance. Furthermore, AAA online service referred me to non-towing garages. It took about two hours of constant runaround before I finally received the service I needed. I am glad I was not danger!

    After over two decades of membership, I am shocked by this level of unprofessionalism and incompetence. At this point, I highly doubt I will be renewing for a 25th year. I expect a formal response regarding how this situation occurred and what will be done to rectify it but can't find any method other than "Sharing My Experience" with others to vent. The tow service I received was outstanding gut getting through AAA service was a nightmare!

    Called my agent to ask about getting quotes for cars that I’m looking at. He told me to get the VIN of the cars I’m interested in and he would get me quotes. He gave me a quote in 1 car that sold in between emails. When I sent 2 others his response was basically, "I’m not doing it." I’ve attached the screenshot below of his exact response. I asked for a new agent who would be willing to do their job and earn commission off me.

    To whom it may concern, I am issuing this statement as a clear and direct warning based on my own experience with this company. What I encountered was enough for me to make one decision with absolute certainty: I will not be engaging with them again, and I strongly advise others to proceed with extreme caution. Throughout my interactions, I observed patterns of behavior that raised serious concerns about professionalism, transparency, and reliability. Communication was inconsistent at best, dismissive at worst. The overall conduct left me with the unmistakable impression that this is not an organization operating with the integrity or accountability that customers and clients deserve.

    I am sharing this so others can make informed decisions before committing their time, money, or trust. If you choose to move forward with them, do so with your eyes open and your expectations guarded. This is not written out of anger — it is written out of clarity. My experience was enough to tell me everything I needed to know. Stay alert. Protect your interests. Don’t ignore the red flags.

    Sincerely,

    Cary

    I have been unhappy since my AAA agent retired and I was put into a "house" account. I have had multiple cars, houses, and an umbrella policy through AAA since 2010, I believe. In November, my wife bought a new car. I contacted AAA to let them know. They apparently mailed an invoice for an additional $60.25, which was lost in the mail. By the time I figured out what happened, my policy (all 3 cars!) was cancelled. Then, out of the blue, you sent me a check for $10.25 (for the 6 days of lapsed coverage--perhaps the other two cars). This seems like terrible customer service. Get some local agents.

    I have been a member of AAA since 2011 and have had auto and renters' insurance for 4 years. I recently wanted to add another daughter to my insurance, and they denied us for a lapse in driver's license when she turned 21 at college (2 years ago). She did not even drive or have a car in college and had a passport and college ID but needed to wait until she got back in her home state to update the license (only 2 months of a lapse). I immediately switched to Progressive with a better rate and dropped AAA.

    Besides the denial of insurance, I was on the phone for over 2 hours with unknowledgeable staff. My agent never returned my calls and when I called an office, Greg in San Diego locked my account and no one could access for an hour. I was either transferred or had to call back 5 times and retell my situation before I finally asked to speak to a (incompetent) supervisor. In which he explained the inability to add her to the account. Thank you, AAA, for being so difficult, I was able to get a better rate with Progressive for the same coverage in addition to adding an additional driver. And it was so seamless and easy.

    They are not an insurance agent. They will only offer you one policy. I have never had an agent that did not have options before. Upon calling them they are not knowledgeable and read from a premade script that they are given and will not assist you any further. I would not get a policy from them again!

    My car insurance had gone up about $80 when renewal time came in Nov 2025 and my SUV is a 2006 with less than 93K miles and I'm medically retired now. So I decided to check out AAA Auto Insurance to see what they could offer since I have the AAA membership. BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER!! First, I asked for the quote to be "emailed" because I didn't know if their number would come up as Spam (darn that Medicare Advantage with the non-stop calls). Well, they called instead which kinda ticked me off as I wasn't prepared with paperwork in front of me and I had asked specifically to get the quote in an email. Whatever. So I talked with Peter, gave what info I could at the time and he gave me a quote. I told him I wanted to think about it as I still had over 2 weeks before my insurance needed to be renewed.

    Immediately after the call, I received 3 emails, including the quote in a PDF for me to sign and return. That really bothered me because I felt even more pressured to make an immediate decision. Over the next 7 days, I received 10 emails, some were reminders, plus a 2nd PDF to sign. That hounding irritated the living you-know-what out of me. I decided at that moment that the discount (about $50) wasn't worth the aggravation he put me through. So I emailed Peter back telling him that I was going to continue using the same company I've been using for the last 4yrs and I did NOT like getting all of those emails. Plus, all of the negative reviews on Google, Yelp and Trust-Pilot helped me make up my mind too.

    Then... the calls started... from Direct Auto and other auto insurance companies. And when I say calls, I mean 10-20 calls a freaking day!!! That's when I found out (googled) that AAA Auto Insurance SELLS YOUR INFORMATION!!!! I have never, and I mean never, received calls like this before in my 40+ yrs of driving! It's like these companies are in competition with Medicare Advantage as to who can drive me more insane (pun intended)!!! It's evil!! They won't stop!! Today, Feb 3rd, I got a letter from Amica about auto insurance!! I'm willing to sell my soul for these calls to stop, I swear!! So be prepared, if you ask for a quote, you will end up in a living nightmare from AAA selling your information!!! JUST DON'T DO IT!! You'll thank me later, I promise.

    AAA is not a family friendly company. You can add your kids to the insurance sure and pay a huge price, but you can't add your kid who is graduating college, the age limit is 20. During the Covid 19 pandemic AAA stopped sending out mileage requests.. So people were driving around but AAA didn't adjust the price when people weren't driving much. Not to mention the homeowners insurance used to be unlimited now it's capped so it's no longer replacement cost. There's little reason to signup for homeowners insurance anymore. I am being generous giving 2 stars.

    I had full auto coverage for my van. AAA billed me and I paid for full coverage. Only 6 months later, someone driving without insurance damaged my vehicle so it made my AAA insurance responsible by the contract. Rather than honoring the contract by making the repair AAA tried to take the van away from me and sell it Insurance Auto Auctions. I would have taken a loss on the vehicle so I was forced to withdraw the claim.

    I cancelled the triple A insurance in March 2025 three days after the car insurance was automatically renewed. In November, I received a collection agency notification to make a payment for a whole year. Rather than billing me for the three days they covered my car, Triple A sent my "no payment" to a collection agency. I was never sent a bill not received a call about what I owed from triple A. I called triple A informing them that we had cancelled the insurance. I was informed that I had to make the full payment and after deducting what I owed (three days) the rest would be reimbursed. I made the payment to the collection agency, which was forwarded to Triple A. I have spoken to about 15 people in triple A requesting the $1,500.00+ refund. It's been nearly two months and it's always "being processed". The people I've spoken to are mostly very nice, but none of them seem to be able to complete this transaction despite numerous calls.

    I received a home and auto insurance quote from an AAA agent who repeatedly emphasized how much money I would be saving by switching from State Farm, where I had been insured for nearly 17 years. I was quoted an auto premium of $280. I informed the agent that I would not have the funds available until my next paycheck, which was five days away. Despite this, the agent insisted that I provide my banking information so she could start coverage on 12/17/25. I trusted her and provided the information. When I called back on the start date, I was told there had been a “rate change” and the premium increased by about $20. Since I had already canceled my State Farm policy, I felt forced to proceed.

    After setting up the AAA app and signing the required e-documents, I discovered that the actual auto insurance premium was nearly $100 higher than what I was originally quoted. At that point, the agent stopped responding to my calls, texts, and emails entirely. I contacted AAA customer service and was told that the quote I received was incorrect. They provided me with a manager’s contact information, but I experienced the same issue—no response and no return calls.

    When the agent finally contacted me again, she attempted to justify the higher auto premium by saying I was receiving “better home coverage.” That is not her decision to make. I should have been given accurate pricing upfront so I could make an informed financial decision. At this point, I was already locked in, having switched all of my insurance policies. This experience felt misleading, unprofessional, and extremely frustrating. I am aware that agents earn commission for writing policies, and this situation raises serious concerns about transparency and ethics. I do not recommend AAA based on my experience and advise others to proceed with extreme caution.

    I am a 72 year old, never married, retired chemical engineer. I have had AAA insurance for only a couple of years, but I have not had an accident in more than 50 years and a ticket in more than 30 years. I had State Farm for many years, but my premiums kept going up and I was irritated by their stupid commercials with overpaid sports figures and their agent that told me I wasn't smart enough to understand the algorithm used to calculate my rates. I had insurance with them for my three vehicles and my 73 year old house that I have owned for more than 44 years.

    I am the type of neighbor that doesn't have to be asked for help, when I see someone with a problem, I offer to help. The city of Westlake OH where I live has an ordinance requiring homeowners to clear their sidewalks of snow. When I clear mine with my snowblower, I also do the two neighboring sidewalks on each side of my property. I used to clear the whole block of more than 24 lots and the crosswalks (about 1600 ft. total), but I've gotten a little too old for that.

    I should of known that I would have trouble with AAA's insurance because one of my vehicles is a '63 MGB, which I rarely drive, but has sentimental value because it belonged to my favorite uncle. My cousin gave it to me two years after his dad died because he knew there were problems with it and I had a garage in which to keep it and would work on it. I've had the MG for 42 years and the only time anyone else has worked on it was when I bought tires. I can remove, patch, and mount tires, but I can't balance them.

    The AAA agent insisted that I should insure the MG with them to get a multi-car discount. She said she knew what an MGB was and I gave her the proper serial number (cars had serial numbers, not VINs in 1963). When I got my paper work, AAA showed it was Mercury G, and I called or emailed her about the error. She said it would be corrected, but when I got the new paperwork, it showed it to be a Metropolitan G (Metropolitans were only sold until 1962). I called her again and she said it would be corrected, but they never got it right. They had the right serial number and it was only covered for storage and wasn't listed on my ID cards, so I just let it go. They charged me two dollars per half for the "Metro G". I figured I would get specialty car insurance before I took the MG on the road.

    Last May I got a letter from AAA's underwriting dept. indicating they couldn't insure the "Metorpolitan" (sic) and would cancel the policy. No reason for the cancellation was given. I took this to mean they would just continue to insure my 2000 GMC truck and 2013 Prius C. My policy was paid up until mid-July, and I saw no sense in calling them again. I was dealing with health concerns and knocking heads with the county over my property valuation (Cuyahoga County uses bogus information and won't correct it).

    There is a lot of stupidity going around. I tend not to pay a bill that I don't get in the mail. I kept getting "important" mailers from AAA about every other week for life insurance which I had no interest in since I have no dependents and don't expect to leave any debts. I forgot about my car insurance until my cousin asked me what I was paying for it on November 19th. I looked in the mailbox and found another letter from the AAA underwriting dept that came that day indicating that I would not be getting a homeowners renewal in January because I had no auto policy. I thought I had paid it in July but found no record of it or a bill.

    I had been driving for more than four months without auto insurance! It was too late to call AAA and spent a largely sleepless night and called AAA the first thing in the morning. I explained the situation to the lady I got on the phone and she told me it was my fault because I didn't call them in May to tell them to take a car that they couldn't insure off my policy. I asked to talk to someone in the underwriter's dept, but she couldn't give me a number because only her boss could send an email to them, no one could call that department.

    I asked if I could reinstate the policy for the GMC and Prius by paying a late fee. She said it was too late and that she would have to set up a new policy and that the premium would be about double that of the old policy because I was high risk because I had been driving without insurance for four months even though they had never sent me a confirmation of cancellation or a bill. Last year's policy came with a letter signed by the president and CEO, addressing me as "valued policyholder", so I wrote him a letter telling him I didn't feel valued, but more like roadkill. I mailed it a month ago, but haven't received a reply, so maybe he was replaced with A.I. along with the underwriters dept.

    Switching from service in Nor Cal (2 years ago) to service in So Cal has been nothing but a nightmare. Often both accounts get mixed up, customer service will give me the incorrect contact information because they are being redirected by the network to an account that shouldn't even be open. Secondarily, if you lose your card and need to update autopay you have to call into AAA. I completed the update online and it reflected the changes on my end but not on theirs. Then they claim to have attempted to complete the updated autopay but my financial institution has no record of the attempt.

    Lastly, they are inflexible with their tenants policy. If you switch apartment complexes in the middle of your tenants policy they cannot adjust it to cover your new landlord's 1 year policy requirement. Plus if you cancel it, you have to wait 1 month before starting a new tenant policy which puts you out of compliance. They claim no one has ever called to adjust a tenant policy due to switching housing. There are many great customer service agents but after 3 years of service I'm ready to give up my car or go elsewhere.

    When I first bought AAA insurance 15 year ago they had very competitive rates. They are no longer competitive. AAA has continually raised their rates, especially over the last five years. They are now more than double the cost when compared to some of their leading auto insurance competitors. I have no tickets or accidents in the last 10 years. When I reviewed my policy with the company, the representative said that is the best she could do. I only wish I had realized this sooner and switched insurance companies several years ago.

    Last Thursday, on my way to work, I checked my bank account and was shocked to see a charge from AAA for $580. I have been a loyal AAA customer for nearly three years, with both home and auto insurance, and I have never paid more than $328 for coverage on my car and my wife’s car. This sudden increase left me confused, so I called AAA for clarification.

    I spoke with a helpful representative who explained that the reason for the increase was that proof of insurance for myself, my wife, and my son had not been uploaded. I explained that before my renewal, I had spoken with another AAA representative who told me I was “good to go.” If I had known the documents were missing, or if I had received an email or text reminder, I would have uploaded them immediately. Once the representative sent me a link, I gathered the health care coverage documents and uploaded them right away. My premium was then restored to the normal amount I usually pay.

    To provide context: I originally became a AAA customer thanks to an agent named Caleb, who always helped me renew my documents. Unfortunately, Caleb left AAA last year, and since then I have relied on calling the general number for assistance. The first time without my agent, another representative sent me a link to upload my documents and renew my membership, and that process went smoothly. Because insurance is expensive, I am always careful to stay on top of renewals to avoid increases.

    During my recent call, I asked if the $580 charge could be modified back to the $318 I normally pay. I explained that my wife (a police officer) and I (a corrections sergeant) have always maintained continuous insurance coverage and never lost it. I was told there was nothing they could do, and that payments could not be backdated. I requested to speak with a manager.

    When I spoke with the manager, she reviewed a prior call from September and stated that the agent had advised me to upload documents online. I told her that was not what I remembered. I emphasized that I always make sure my documents are taken care of, and that if I had received instructions or reminders, I would have acted immediately. Instead of addressing my concern about the unfair charge, she repeatedly told me what I should do “next time.” This was frustrating because I already understand the process now — my issue is with being charged nearly twice my normal premium for coverage I never lost. The conversation became tense. I explained that as a customer service representative, she should not be frustrated with me for being frustrated about being charged unfairly. I apologized for my frustration, but I believe I have every reason to be upset.

    At the end of the day, I was charged $580 instead of $318 for coverage I already had, and I would have submitted proof immediately if I had been reminded or had an agent assigned to me. I want to be clear: we never lost our health insurance coverage. The issue was only administrative — the documents were not uploaded on time. Even if this was considered an error on my part, it was the first time such a problem occurred in three years as a customer. I believe discretion should be applied here, and the $252 difference should be refunded or credited to my account. If the process had gone smoothly, this charge would never have occurred. I told AAA that if this matter is not resolved, I do not think it is fair to pay an extra $250+ for coverage I never lost.

    IF YOU ARE SEEING THESE AND YOU ARE A CUSTOMER, GET AWAY FROM THIS INSURANCE COMPANY. I have been an AAA insurance member since 1978, I never got into any accident and my policy still going up, in 1990 I quit, in 2000 my wife asked me to go back to AAA, everything was going okay for a least 1- year and then the premium started going up without any reason so I quit.

    In 2012, we came back and since then from $150 per month now got to $230. Anyhow for the last 47- years I never had any accidents or claims, until in March 2025, that someone on a shopping mall damaged my vehicle while it was parked, damaging the right side rear bumper, rim and tire and step board of my suv, and with that caused to re-damaged a past fixed damage on the upper quarter panel. Insurance denied my case because of the prior damage which AAA knew that the vehicle had an accident when new and was reported salvage, but they still allowed me to put a full cover on it. Please don't fall into this pit.
