On 1/14/23 I was in a car accident which the other driver was totally at fault & her insurance was AAA! My car was totaled I had to wait a wk before AAA gave the ok for me a rental & they only paid for 2 wks. It took another 2 wks for the insurance to settle so I had to pay the other 2 wks which I they should’ve paid til they settled with me! The claims adjuster Karen ** was rude to me when I told her that I felt they were in the wrong to stop paying for the rental when they’ve not even settled & told me that’s why it’s called an accident which I thought is why we pay for insurance. I could understand if I was being complicated & holding it up but I wasn’t. I went out of my way to speed the process up by driving out to north 40 & signing documents instead of waiting on the mail and settling for less than I should’ve on my Jeep!
I ended up paying $274 on the rental & another $463 for sales tax which any other insurance company would’ve paid 30 days rental & the sales tax up to the value of the totaled vehicle which I went from a 2019 to an 2009 vehicle cause the price of vehicles it so crazy right now & They didn’t pay me replacement value. She told me to contact my insurance company if I to get replacement value which my insurance shouldn’t have to pay anything when I didn’t cause the accident! Anyway I just feel I got screwed.

Hello, I recently spoke with Joanne from Claims. There was a claim filed 02/14/2023. Wesley was the claims specialist. Wesley has not called, reach out or anything until I spoke with the manager Joanne. I asked that Wesley be replaced as he has shown us extremely poor customer service. Joanne pushed it aside and did not fulfill my request. When speaking with Joanne she was not patient, not getting the full story and already deeming us at fault for the accident when it was a 3 car accident. We were the last car. Joanne did not even request our photos, she just went with the middle car photos. I had to request to add the photos.
We were supposed to be represented by our insurance that we pay every month and I just feel like I was thrown in the dirt by Joanne. I requested to speak to her superior in which she refused. I requested to speak to her superior several times. Still have not heard back or anything. AAA is supposed to be big on customer service and I am appalled of your actions.

I had AAA for almost 6 years. Don’t remember whether I used once. My BMW stopped while driving. Had a check engine and check fuel pump, and message go to dealer as soon as possible. Pulled over, after 15 minutes tried to start, it started and then I reached home. Spoke to bmw dealer over the phone, he told me not to drive and tow it and drop at the dealer to be serviced. Next day called AAA to tow and drop at the dealer. A technician from third party 'California Roadside West' showed up. He asked what's wrong with the car, I told him the issues. He said, "If the car doesn't start then I can't tow." I told him I'll try to start, I tried it started, he immediately said, "Oh the car started so no issues and no messages so I can't tow." He was flip flopping. I really didn’t understand his motivation.
I told him there was a check engine and check fuel pump message so it's not safe to drive the car, I can't put mine and my little kids life in danger. Tried to convince him but he wouldn't listen, he was very rude so I told him to leave since I was not comfortable handling him my expensive car. My first call with AAA was 9:30 am, after the guy left made several calls. Tried to communicate the issue to AAA but they wouldn’t accept that there’s an issue with car, they said, "It was assessed no issue with the car, we can tow but charge you." The last call I made them was 3 pm. After that I cancelled the membership. AAA doesn’t care how long you are a member, look at the history etc. Paid all these years. Was a waste of my money. Some rude third party guy made a note there’s no issue they believed.

This review is to warn others of my experience. Originally from California but recently moved to Texas. Been a member for almost 10 years and sadly will have to find another insurance company. My AAA account was created in California so the account type is different from Texas. Which mean customer service, rates, and how you will be treated will not be the same. Make sure you call to ensure you switch completely and not from any office or sale representative. They need your verbal consent as I didn’t know and was charge for both California and Texas for 8 months. Even when I officially close my California AAA all my calls always revert to California customer service. So if you live in Texas. Be ready to waste 5-10 minutes re-navigate yourself to the correct state as both states are separate organization. Even though it’s AAA they both have separate rules and act differently.
My car was hit while parked in front of my home. No one was hurt but both vehicle was totaled. I thought AAA had my back but that was not the case. A claim was created under my California AAA. This is when they informed me I need to start the process over with my Texas AAA even though California quoted me a settlement. Wasted 25 days, start the process over and my new Texas adjuster, they offer me much lower settlement than California. Just like others. I called 3-4 times a week over 2 months just trying to get answer why it’s much lower. And when I finally do reach my adjuster explaining to her my car is not a low end model and why I received less settlement than what I was offer originally.
It took another 60 days to finally get an answer. After calling her supervisor and leaving countless voicemail, feedback on AAA website. When I explained my frustration. I was only brushed off to check my email. Exhausted. Claim went over 90 days. And I need to get another car for work as I cannot wait anymore. Clearly they only focused on saving cost and devalued their brand. Don’t invest in AAA and if possible. Stay within your own state or switch companies if you’re moving out of state. I tried my best to be patience. Customer service understand my pain and confused on the situation as well. I have never felt so defeated and devalued as a customer. I hope no one ever experience this but as you can see this is an ongoing consistent strategy to protect their own interest. This accident is not my fault and I was punished at the end of this result. All I can say is why…

My daughter borrowed my car and was involved in a hit-and-run accident by no fault of her own. AAA would not pay the claim even though there were witnesses in the police report because we did not have full coverage on the car. We did have uninsured motorists but they say it does not cover unless you have full coverage So our claim was denied and I have a wrecked car. Now they have dropped us because my daughter was not on policy. Will NEVER recommend AAA.

I've been a AAA customer for over 10 years and am extremely disappointed with my recent experience. Another AAA insured driver rear-ended me on 12/12/22 while I was at a full stop and my AAA adjuster told me that I might be held responsible. WTF?! Additionally, it has been over 4 weeks and I am still in limbo with the uncertainty of $1,000 deductible (and possible point on my record) and my adjuster will not return my calls or emails - apparently she has been on vacation for over 2 weeks. Glad she's relaxing while I'm freaking out.... I will be dropping them immediately if this does not end well. Don't waste your time with AAA, they have seriously gone downhill.

How a big name like AAA is worse than a local small time insurance. 6/21/2022 Aaa insured car hit me and bystander told police that was his fault but AAA still reject my claim. As I go to school and work, they really got me. I lives in NJ and and my school was in PA and accident happened in PA. When they reject my claim I tried to hire a lawyer but I guess it was not enough money for lawyers in it and now I just can't do anything but to write a review to let people know about this Auto insurance.. Hopefully someone from AAA reads this and review it again as police report and bystanders says that accident was fault of AAA insured person.. Claim #**

My parked car was hit by their client 8/24/22, whom left the location. She did leave her contact info and luckily there was an officer nearby that saw her. He made the call to her and advised her to return to the location. I've made several attempts to contact the adjuster @AAA.After a month of not being able to get my calls answered, or my VM or emails that returned, I asked for his Mgr and as of today I've yet to speak to either.
The only information CS provides is that the adjuster can't reach their client. I've provided the police report and photos of my vehicle as well as their client w/ her vehicle. The Agent also stated that if they don't speak with their client, they will just simply not pay my claim and send their client a letter, and that I should repair my own vehicle and wait for repayment??Today is 10/28 over 60 days and I have received 0 communication of any sort from AAA ST. Petersburg, FL office. I find it peculiar that many others seem to be experiencing the same treatment.

AAA is a terrible insurance company. We were hit by a customer of AAA and they denied our claim because they suggested that there wasn't enough damage. Marina ** at ** and Chelsea ** at ** are terrible people to deal with and denied our claim without giving sufficient reasons. They clearly will do whatever is needed not to pay out insurance claims.

I am dealing with a claim right now. Good luck getting one on the phone. I've only lucked out of reaching a live person 2 out of every 10 calls made, and they NEVER return your call back. I'm sitting on a claim for almost 30 days because they can't reach their insured. They sent a person out to the insured's house and the claim agent doesn't have a status of that. I was told that it will be 2 days before they can get in touch with the person who went to the insured driver's house. How hard should it be to pick up a phone and call the person who went out? They can't get in touch with their insured driver, and they can't tell me what the protocol is if they are unable to get in touch. Their claim adjusters are highly inefficient.

I've had AAA for a few months now. I called to change my due date from the end of the month to the beginning of the month & was told "no problem". My due date was on the 25th originally and I called in way before then. Then I discovered my monthly amount went from $107 to $142 and was told that by changing the due date, it changed the number of payments causing it to increase! What? I was NEVER told that would happen and why would it happen if I am paying in the same month but just changing the date? I then said to change the date back and was assured it was done. Well it was NOT done! Then they never took the Aug payment out when I was assured they would so now they are billing me $142 on Sept 3 and $117 on Sept 25 telling me that 1st pmt is because Aug wasn't taken out! Well, whose fault is that when it automatically comes out?
I have spoken to at least 4 different people including 2 supervisors and I feel not one of them care or know their job as each one tells me something different and tells me my requests have been done and completed when they have not been! I can not even imagine the nightmare they would be if I had a claim! So I am dropping them!

I’ve had AAA auto insurance for 6 years now, and moved to Arkansas recently. Called today to update my information and found out they gave me the wrong membership number and when trying to click on my info someone else’s name and info came up. So apparently if I had tried to use the service I would have been refused and I was paying for someone else’s membership for 6 years? When asked about it the woman laughed it off and wouldn’t give me a straight answer. The membership is over $50 a year, so I’m beyond upset with AAA right now, how long would I have gone paying for service I wasn’t getting if I hadn’t called?

Are all companies associated with helping the elderly, in particular, just out to swindle money away from them for a service that is nonexistent? AAA has made my growing list of companies, that I have found out since becoming permanently disabled, to swindle and financially abuse their elderly (or in my case disabled) clients. I have been with them for car insurance and also paid extra for their RV roadside services. Of the 4 times I needed them, only 1 time was I able to get assistance and get a tow truck. Even then, I still paid out of pocket. My question, really, is what was I paying for? I couldn't get help twice for a flat tire, once for hail damage to my windshield. I had enough when I checked around for insurance quotes due to moving to a new state and I found out how much more I was spending but I wasn't getting any of the extra service.
I called today to make sure it would not auto renew and the male I spoke with was absolutely RUDE! He kept talking over me, would not fully listen, and repeated questions. He acted like I was an absolute bother to him and he had way more important things to do. He didn't ask why I was leaving AAA, probably because I am not the only one jumping ship. Nor did he thank me for being a customer for the last 3 years. I do still have life insurance thru them but I will be looking into other companies for that as well. I am very disappointed. You are paying extra for nothing with AAA. The only way I would come back is if they take a serious look at their customer service (or lack of) and their pricing. They just don't care about their customers. They only care about taking their customer's money.

I think AAA auto insurance is depending exclusively on their historically "good" reputation to remain in business because their actual Claims process is absolutely horrendous! Yes, their roadside assistance is great, but if something should ever happen and you need to make a claim, you're left totally stranded. I have comprehensive insurance, and my catalytic converter was stolen from my vehicle overnight in February. It was a holiday so I wasn't able to call to start a claim until 2 days later. I wasn't even able to leave a message right when it happened.. Then, when I was finally assigned to a claims adjuster after calling again on the 3rd day, I have left calls, voicemails, sent emails, and even called the adjuster's direct supervisor multiple times with NO RESPONSE.
It is now early May and I have yet to get a single message or response telling me at what stage my claim is in. AAA auto insurance is automatically taking my automated monthly insurance payments, and yet it's almost a joke, because I wonder whether I would have been better off uninsured based off the level of communication or help I'm actually receiving. I even went into the local AAA insurance office in my area in person, to see if I could at least speak to a human instead of their terrible purgatory loop that is their automated robotic phone-system.. and the friendly local agent was unable to help me at all. Their best advice was to just continue to call and leave voicemails, and email my adjustor until I was able to reach someone. If I would have known AAA was going to be this unresponsive when I'm paying for appropriate coverage, I would never have signed on with them to begin with!

I have been insured for more than 60 years and Triple A is without a doubt the worse, most incompetent, lying, greedy company next to Farmers I have ever had the misfortune to come across. They cash your payments right enough, but you have to watch them, they will cancel your policy the next day and claim there is NO refund. You're just out. Want to bet. Contact your State Insurance commission and file a complaint. They went so far as to attach an unknown person to a policy and this policyholder paid someone else's insurance to the tune of $1300.00. No Refund? Huh.
They messed my insurance up so badly I ended up paying my vehicle off just to stop the play. Their statement is "well we did drop the ball on your account". More than once. Claimed the amount of insurance they provided on the truck greater than my $167.00 payment that I owed them money. Tell you folks, stay the hell away from them. I do not know who is running that outfit but they are crooked and they will ** you up royally. There is plenty more but not enough room to explain.

AAA increased my annual premium by $319 a year after just one month on the plan -- and without giving me any notice. I only happened to catch it because I saw the cost of my next bill was significantly higher. I feel like AAA has a pretty stellar reputation, so I was shocked when this happened. When I cancelled my policy, I was hit with a huge fee as well, but I was so discouraged by this customer service experience that I just wanted out.

My vehicle was hit by a driver who was driving out of a space in December. He was at a fault. I reported the incident to AAA, and the initial contact person was kind. He gave me a list of repair places to get the vehicle fixed, and because it was late in December, I proceeded to go and get it dropped off. At the repair place they suggested I contact the adjustor to get a claim code for a rental, however, the adjuster did not call me back. I figured it was the holidays, and they would get back to me later. They never did. So no rental.
I tried calling just now, and when I try to leave a message, it just says GOODBYE and hangs up. AAA used to be good, so I am frustrated by this. I want to know what is going on with my claim. I wanted that Rental. The adjuster has never ever contacted me once. I did manage to reach him on the phone one time, to let him know I dropped it off at the repair place, but I dislike call Avoidant behavior, and AAA needs to respond to customers when they call. And fix whatever is wrong with their voicemail system.

AAA used to be one of the best insurances in the east. Apparently they're not as customer friendly as they used to be. We had to get a new homeowners policy. The providers car insurance bundled rate were competitive with AAA, our current provider. We were on the auto pay program and they got their premium every single month on time. Because we had to cancel, they billed us an $88 early termination fee. I thought auto pay made sure they got their money but I guess they want to hit you one more tine before you leave: or as I call it, "burning your bridge behind you."
The money wasn't the issue. The reason I am warning new customers is being on auto pay we thought all was well. Not so! they sent one bill and apparently the bill states that if not paid in ten days you will go to collections. We never received a bill. However, true to their word, we were sent to collections maybe ten days later. Don't know. But we're there. Funny, I get tons of emails from AAA, monthly ads, etc. but just one bill notice. Now that's customer service. Thanks AAA and good riddance!!!!

On July 8, I was hit by a person insured with a AAA insurance company. I then turned in a claim. My Car was inspected quickly by 3rd party. There was no contact from insurance adjuster until Sep 1, which I was informed that my car would be repaired with a list of required parameters. Due to no contact and required parameters from the insurance I insisted on a check for the claim. Since Sep 12, until now Dec 13, when I inquire about a payout I get, "The check is in the mail." Not being able to use my car for almost six months is unfounded. A disconnect from the Insurance company and the customer or claim is clear. Looks like it time to get a Attorney especially since my state allows attorney fees to be added to claim.

I never made a claim until now and all of a sudden my account was cancelled. They couldn’t explain how all of a sudden they couldn’t collect payment from my bank that has maintained a balance of $$20k since mid 2000s. They couldn’t explain how all of a sudden my address was changed and they couldn’t inform of the cancellation or missed pay, late payment or anything, nor could they explain why I never received an email or phone when all my info has been the same.

AAA canceled my auto insurance for no given reason and never notified me (after I submitted my payment through their online portal on time and received a confirmation receipt of my payment). They were quick to blame USPS for me not receiving notice rather than taking responsibility on their end. I was told that during the pandemic this has been a common complaint from their customers - that often people were not receiving their notices until 6 months after they were mailed.
While AAA seemed to be aware that there is a problem with this, they have been unwilling to find other means of communicating with their customers. I was told that I was responsible for my lack of awareness that I was driving uninsured (even though I submitted all my payments on time) and that my insurance rate would double as a result because I was unknowingly driving uninsured. No apologies and no willingness to take any sort of responsibility. I have switched to State Farm as a result and will not return to AAA for any sort of insurance policy in the future. Please spare yourself your time, money, and liability issues and avoid AAA at all costs.

Switched over to AAA after hearing some good things about them from a friend. When switching over I told the sales rep to mimic my old policy as I wanted the same coverage. He had access to my old policy and assured me I would be getting just that. We agreed to only switch the deductible for full coverage. Later that year I was unfortunately involved in an accident and was seeking their assistance when I find out that the agent sold me whatever he wanted and not what was promised to me. Now they are refusing to cover me per the coverage I was told I would get when I switched over. In other words do not trust this company as they are deceptive and deceiving and lie.

I have purchased auto and homeowners insurance from AAA Alabama for 5 years. Both insurance policies continued to rise even though no claims had been filed. Upon asking my agent in particular about my homeowner's rates rising drastically, I was told my rating was the issue. In 2020, I let this slide since I had little time to research other companies. Forward to 2021, yet another over $300 increase with zero claims. My response again was my rating. Upon inquiring about this “rating” it was stated that it was from Lexus/Nexus so I asked for info and was provided nothing. I reached out to another company for quotes and asked they pay close attention to this rating info. My rating was excellent and I accepted those quotes to replace my AAA coverage with better coverage at a lesser price.
I notified my AAA agent and the regional manager to cancel my renewals at the end of my cycle and requested a received email back for them noting my request. The regional manager responded that it would be taken care of. Today, I noticed a withdrawal from my account for AAA insurance… Luckily I pulled up my email received from the regional manager and replied to all (including her manager) asking why were they deducting $ for policies no longer applicable with AAA. Responder: the rep did not close the accounts. Seriously??? Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. Even though good insurance, it appears it’s all about the $ and not the quality of service OR communication.

My daughter was involved in an accident which was the other party's fault. The other party had AAA insurance and it took a very long over a week to get in touch with them. Once I did, the process was extremely slow to get answers, other than they were quick to provide a rental. The rental was a POS, and had so many restrictions due to my daughter not being 21. They said they would have an adjuster go look at the vehicle and asked where it was so they could look at it. I waited for almost a week and did not hear from the contact. I called back and he asked a couple questions and declared the vehicle a total loss and would get with the adjuster to give us a valuation. Again, almost a week went by and the guy I have been speaking with says he is the adjuster!
Next day he contacts me with a valuation and it is so low. In the current car market, the valuation is over $2000 below what I could replace the car with, finding a car with 15,000 more miles and less upgrades! He said to send the receipts for the upgrades that were done on the vehicle. I had almost $2000 in upgrades done within the last 2 years and they only upped the value $316, and it took him a week to get back with me on that.
I spoke with my attorney who deals in these cases and his first question is "who is your insurance?" And then he asked who is their insurance? I told him AAA. His advice was to use my insurance as I was with what he called "Tier 1, major carrier" and AAA was in what he called "The others". This attorney who deals with this sort of stuff all the time, said this was normal for sub tier 1 providers to provide bad service and low valuations. Said my insurance would be better and they would go to arbitration with AAA over the claims. Unfortunately, this is the 5th accident involving a member of my family, where the other party's insurance was in this sub tier 1 and every time, I have had to use my insurance for resolution. I hoped this time it would be different....guess not.

I was rear-ended at a stoplight on April 23, 2021. The person that hit me had AAA auto insurance. The evening of the accident AAA contacted me with the name and phone number of an adjuster that would reach out to me within the next 48 hours. As of today May 11, 2021 I have never heard from or seen that adjuster. I have called and left multiple messages with no response. After multiple attempts to reach someone within AAA I received a call from a supervisor. This supervisor was rude, condescending and unprofessional. I was told directly that I could not take my new car back to the dealership for repairs and if I did AAA would not pay for the repairs. I was told that my car would not be fixed with original parts and I had to take my car to a specific body shop of their choice.
I continued to have questions and concerns that were unanswered due to no specific callback phone number. Every AAA phone number that I googled or called routed me to roadside service or the purchase of insurance. When I finally reached a live person they would tell me I had the wrong department, extension or the wrong state for AAA auto insurance. It was impossible to get in contact with the actual department I needed to speak with all my questions and concerns. I even tried to contact the AAA corporate office to file a formal complaint, but only got an automated system asking if I needed roadside service. This entire process was horrendous. No one should have to go through this type of process just to get their car repaired by AAA auto insurance.

My husband passed away in December 2020. I have an existing plan paid in full until 6.24.21. Our daughter is on the plan also. I called to put myself on the plan since my husband passed away and I have paid up plan. I was informed that they can make my daughter the main person on the plan and add myself for $9.25. They said the charge was due to a call on the plan last summer when my daughters car battery died at work at 2am. So the deal is if you use AAA services and need to change an existing account due to a death of primary client you will be charged to do this. I think this is shameful and should not be allowed.
My husband died but his account was paid in full until 6.24.21 but even if I cancelled I wouldn't get money back because we used the plan and they made a call last summer! Isn't this what we pay for when we join? I will be cancelling this horrible plan as of 6.24.21 and just wanted to make sure people know what this AAA company is all about! Making money and not helping people. Shame on you AAA.

I established an auto insurance policy with AAA but found a much cheaper insurance from another well known company. I called to cancelled the very next day. The agent I dealt with from the start was useless and uncaring. I was able to find out I was charged a short term cancellation fee of $120 from the local branch, which is outright stealing.

I've had experience with multiple aspects of AAA. I had their towing service when my car was aging and last year, I had both their auto and condo insurance. They did offer decent rates for coverage but at the same time, I was an ideal person to insure because I never had to file a claim. This year, I bought a brand new car after driving the same car for 16 years. I left their insurance company simply because it made sense to try Tesla insurance with the rates they were offering. With less than 1,500 miles on my car, I was rear ended by someone in their 20s at a stop light when it was red because he was "drinking water". He was under his parents' AAA car insurance policy. It was a very clear case of who was at fault.
I only called my insurance company at first because other than the one car accident in my early twenties, I've never had to interact with car insurance. Well I was rather disappointed in my Tesla insurance because they essentially were not going to go to bat for me if I was unwilling to pay the deductible to start. That's a whole other issue. I contacted AAA and was assigned to the associate AG. Just following a few interactions with her, it was very apparent they handle things by dragging their feet. She made claims that the Tesla shop person would not work with her, that I couldn't get a assessment quote from AAA until the day of my appointment at the shop insinuating that I should pay out of pocket first for the fix, never replied to my email during a work day even though I generally messaged her very early in the morning, and just blatantly made up false excuses about why things couldn't take place early (I have email proof).
My appointment with Tesla is on the 29th and AAA will not reach out to them again until tomorrow on the 26th, even though I made it very clear that they had to order my rear bumper and paint them. The accident happened on the 5th. I think the only reason it has even moved as fast as it has is because I have an upcoming appointment that I scheduled on my own. Overall, it leaves a terrible taste in my mouth. I even shared with the representative that I suffer from anxiety and this situation was bringing on terrible stress for me.
Is AAA truly an "American" insurance company? The United States is an adopted country for me, one where I've spent almost 3/4th of my entire life. I love supporting American companies. What they are doing seems very un-American. AAA is going to raise the rates of the person that hit my car. It was a very clear case and I wasn't making any ridiculous, false demands. All I wanted was my brand new car to be restored, which is when insurance company should step in to save the day. "Don't worry. Both you and the other driver were responsible people. We will cover this for you." Instead, they implied I should pay out of pocket for the fix and that their quote may come back differently from Tesla's.
Their business approach, implying that I could be treated poorly because I wasn't the paying customer, is sooo wrong. Every client that they interact with could potentially become a paying customer. Instead, I will NEVER EVER use their insurance coverage again and I will advise as many people against it as possible. The simple reason is that the US is a very sue-happy country. It would be terrible for someone to come after you simply because your insurance company is dragging their feet! On top of that, they send out sooo many mailers that look like junk mail. Who are you targeting with those mailers AAA? The only thing that is of value is their tow service, which I do recommend if you have an old car and are a commuter. It will pay for itself.

Giving AAA a one score on this review is being too nice after how badly I was screwed. So on Jan 6, 2021 I started a new policy and went to a new agent over the phone. I had full coverage on 2 cars with my husband and myself. That day he passed away so I tell her to remove my husband and one car. I gave her the wrong car by mistake but she took advantage of my situation. Several weeks later when I am ready to drive for the first time in 3 weeks, I call and leave several messages to make sure she insured the correct car. I even emailed her. I never hear back.
On feb 5 I was T-boned by an Escalade. I was injured bad as was my SUV. The other person's insurance pays for everything and at first I wasn’t going to Sue but I was in so much pain and suffering from the worst headaches and got X-rays as well as a CT scan that shows I have whiplash and had a concussion etc. so I hire an attorney. On March 15, I get a call from my attorney saying I was driving with no insurance so I was really angry. I called my agent who lied thru her teeth. Her boss believed her over me. What happened to believing the customer no matter what. So now I m waiting to speak to someone higher up.
I m in PT 3x per week and have bones overlapping and a curved spine due to the accident and now I am being told I can’t get pain and suffering if I wasn’t insured. I would never drive a car that didn’t have insurance and I m at a loss. Not only did I lose the love of my life but now I m being screwed by an insurance co that was supposed to cover me. They are the worst and are thieves in the worst way. As soon as I can I am switching to another carrier but not before I go all the way to the top on this matter. I don’t care if the agent gets fired. She screwed up and I have the proof. This is wrong.

It's that time of the year when I had to renew my auto policy with AAA. It switched to a new company and while the new rates are good, ways of paying them are not. This year I am unable to pay my premium online as I used to. The only option was to do this by snail mail. I sent my payment by USPS Priority Mail, and a week later, it's still in transit and no telling when it arrives. My renewal date is just 3 days away and I don't want risking losing coverage because USPS lost my mail.
Emailed the agent inquiring why can't I pay online and the answer was basically take it or leave it. After notifying the agent about a possibility of lost mail, was advised to pay by a phone call or else drive to the local AAA club. Ah great. Driving to the club while we're still under stay at home order, and I am at a higher risk for the virus being over 60 years old.
The agent provided an option of actually doing this by phone, which way my neighbors will be able to hear my credit card info. This is totally unacceptable. Most likely I am going to switch to another company where I will be able to pay premiums online, plus the premiums will include roadside assistance for which I'm paying through the roof with AAA. I think I've been with them way too long and the time has come for a change. I don't recommend AAA insurance to anyone. Shop around, there are better choices.

AAA is an interactive company that has various insurance products. I have been with them since 2009. The rates were vey good until I had my first "chargeable" accident earlier this year. My limits were decreased and my premium doubled at the last renewal date in May. It was a financial struggle on my fixed income but I paid it. I just received my November renewal and my premium went up another $150, I can't afford to renew with them after being a customer for 11 years.

Myself and many family members were proud AAA members in the early 2000’s... Since, most everyone has either left or Switched to a different insurance provider. Various reasons but one common issue that we all discuss occasionally: they have a super aggressive “pay now or we cancel” policy - but are extremely lousy when having to step up and be proactive in fulfilling the promised “we are here to help when you have an accident”... I understand, it’s a business and the people working at my neighborhood office are nice: explaining “it’s a computer...” - but AAA has many online flaws that over the years never been corrected.
AAA has every bit of my information (and that of all my other family members) and yet they can’t communicate in a timely manner via phone, email, mailbox, text message or any of the other communications platforms available - all I get I’ll once a while is a “your policy is canceled due to non-payment” (usually two days before that deadline is there) - and then a whole list of terrible consequences that will follow. I’ve been with AAA 27 years!!
There are only two family members left with them! I had one accident in 27 years and did not even receive any financial help... I have homeowners insurance. AAA aggressively sends me twice a year invitations for Life Insurance but publicly claims that my HIV positive sisters and brothers cannot get it - we know for 25 years that people with HIV have a completely “normal” life expectancy - yet AAA fiddles an archaic notion that it is too risky to cover anyone with HIV (it’s okay if you have diabetes or are a chain smoker)!!

I tried to explain to her that I filed online complaint for the conversation and calls to be pulled because I called consistently more than once a day to confirm information balance make adjustments and other information as needed. To a point that I was told I had up until July before cancellation.
The problem is nothing is noted and I am now forced to figure this money issue, loss of employment with this crisis, waiting compensation, had this been explained in detail I would not be in this situation now. I was originally advised to pay as I can, given extension and then account blocked for ACH payments. This situation falls back as far as April 2020, when a payment was not stopped when it was made in error made online while speaking with a representative. The payment was not stopped as agreed to be reversed after requesting the same date, in which later my bank stopped payment and corrected fees. However, I found out that AAA has sent the payment for 627.54 back to my bank and to date I have been advised to try and make or do what I can do during this epidemic. My account was blocked from making payments because of this reversal.
I was on extensive holds trying to validate and being told to call back wait more days to return this payment and once paid my balance would be 1724.00 and could be paid before renewal. I took notes etc. to find out today that the block was not lifted and resubmitted today, and that whoever told me about the extension being changed to November and future normal payments of 399 could be paid, was wrong. To date supervisors stated there is nothing that can be done my complaint will not be heard because if I callback only another supervisor will explain the same; to pay 800 today and the next three months through my Renewal in August.
No other extensions existed and now I am in a crisis off work, not driving, verified all information I was told as far as even calling back for mileage adjustments for one of my vehicles on this three car multi-policy that I have, renter's, membership and auto. When I filed my feedback for complaint I was told that I should get a response back in 3-5 days. My policy, my insurance credibility and billing is impacted. I need for AAA to honor what was told and let me move forward with the original request.
Paying 800 a month because my policy renews in August could not be changed, should not have been told to me as such. However, when I called daily last week from 5/18- 5/20 I was told my account for payment is showing closed looking like accounting is working on this but was not done until today. I have been struggling through this pandemic to workout arrangements calling consistently, only to be told incorrect information and now my insurance must be paid in full 2390.00 or 800 today and Auto pay setup for the next 2 months.

I purchased a battery with a warranty. When I called several times to replace battery because the battery kept going dead they ignored me. THEY also said there was nothing wrong with the battery. I took it to a local AUTOZONE twice to be tested (battery and alternator). They tested the battery and said it had dead cells and it was no good and alternator was taken off, tested, and it was fine. I called AAA several (many) times and requested that they replace battery as promised in warranty. The warranty was for 3 years. It ran out April 2020. The reps were rude, disrespectful, and mean-spirited. I will never, ever buy anything from them again. They are not trustworthy and they are dishonest. I have been a member since 1998 and they treated me like dirt. I am now searching for a new auto club.

I had purchased AAA insurance with my husband and I wish I had chose anywhere else. During my husband's deployment in the military his credit card was hacked and canceled by the bank. It took some time to realize the car insurance was cancelled because AAA never contacted us, by email, mail or phone. Now, as we are in the middle of buying a house we find out there is a debt collector coming after us for $48 dollars that was delinquent on the AAA account. Even after calling to update our policy, the AAA representative never said a word about outstanding costs or a delinquency. We would have paid it HAD WE KNOWN! Again, not one call received, not one email, not one piece of mail about owing them. Just avoid AAA because they certainly don’t care about providing an honest service.

I have always been pleased with AAA Auto Insurance, but this year has been bad. I bought a Economical car to drive to work but kept my H3, so now I drive two car, but mainly the KIA. AAA is charging me saying that I drive the KIA 15,001 to 17,500 and the H3 501 to 1,500 that will mean that at the minimum I will have to drive 15,502 miles on both cars, and could drive 19,000. The problem is I bought my KIA back in April 16 of 2019 and as of the middle of November when I sent them my miles the KIA had 7,300 miles on it, so that will mean that at the most I will drive that car if each month is around 1,000 it will be 12,000. The H3, I use it to go to the store and I don't go to store that often (once a week) and the store is 6 blocks from the house, so let's say the store is 2 miles from the house so times 52 weeks that will mean the H3 will be under 500 miles, so at the most both cars will be driven a grand total of may 13,000 and change.
But when I called yesterday, they keep on telling me that that is not the way they calculate the miles they bill me. I believe the company is overcharging me for my car insurance and they won't do anything about it, even when I told them that we can check on the miles I have used so far. So, after 25+ years of being with AAA, I am thinking is time to move on. I don't want to pay a company that is overcharging me and that the employees treat you so bad and want to argue with you. I had to tell the lady to please let me go, that I didn't care any more because I got a headache from, that is all I got.
They also insured my husbands new Ram truck, he has an old Chrysler and when he call, the person taking the information told him that base on him driving 11,366 per year, she was going to put 366 on the Chrysler for the year and 11,000 on the RAM, how is that possible, he already drove the Chrysler for 4 months of the year, the right math should be 2,841 on the Chrysler and 5,683 on the RAM, but I believe because the RAM insurance is more expensive, they decided to put less miles on the 2006 Chrysler and charge him more for the RAM. I just can't believe that is the same good all insurance that I always trusted.

I have been a Premier member for close to 20 years and have needed AAA a total of two times in twenty years. May 5th on the way home from work, at a hospital, I had rear tire quickly go flat on my motorcycle. It is a 100 mile daily round trip across the desert that is also up and down a mountain. It is no exaggeration when I say I was in middle of nowhere, in the desert, with the sun setting more than 25 miles from the nearest repair services, and about 8 miles from the nearest gas station.
I called for roadside assistance and learned FOR THE FIRST TIME that there is an additional membership fee for motorcycles and I was out of luck if I needed their help. Never mind the fact that I just placed this on my AAA insurance just 4 weeks prior to this event....no mention of the additional fee then either! I invite you to look at their website, you will not find it unless you search for it.
Anyway, they were perfectly content to leave me out there with a "were so sorry and thanks for the long term membership." I insisted that they at least give me a towing referral and they gave me the number for a company that did not answer their phone AT ALL. I assume they don't take calls after 5 PM, not that it mattered. I eventually got out of there on my own, but AAA did nothing to help, nothing at all. It was horrible to learn that total strangers that stopped and asked if I am "OK" had more concern for me than a company that likes to claim they will be there when you need them - that is if you pay the additional fee that you need to know about to even pay.

This company is the worst company out there. I’m sure whatever little company would treat their customers better. I have been with them for a year and it has been a nightmare. Stay away from them, when you don’t have the thousands of dollars their premium cost and decide to break it down in monthly payments they charge you an interest fee like if they are financing your premiums or lending money from them. Of course this is something they don’t tell you at the beginning. The customer service representative are very rude and they almost hang up the phone on you when you bring to their attention something about the premiums. Your monthly payment is never the same, it always changes to their favor, or course they always add more and more money every month.
The app is horrible, it almost never works. Their system is outdated. They have to send you a whole bunch of letters for every little change you make on your address even if just the apartment number changed if 2 persons are on the policy living in the same address they send 2 letter for the same address just under different names.
I just paid my insurance on 04/03/2020 and if I want to cancel the policy I have to pay $95 dollars more because supposedly what I just paid covers the premium from last month, and my coverage will end immediately. I know that is for sure BS because that’s not how it works but that’s how they want to play it out with me. I will be leaving this company soon, if I haven't done it is because they are charging me a fee for breaking the contract and on top of that the MONTHLY PAYMENT, SO SAD MEDIOCRE COMPANIES LIKE THIS ONE TAKING ADVANTAGE of CUSTOMERS like ME.

I even asked to temporarily pause insurance on one car since we don’t need to drive both cars and they said it will actually increase my rate. Can you believe that? They flat out wouldn’t offer to give any discount while other companies are doing it.

After 25+ years they automatically switched us to their own new insurance company and promised better rates. My rate went up from $2100 to $4600. I tried to figure out what the differences were and found that even with less coverage it would still be same rate. Why? Because of the town I live in was their reason. Lumber doesn't cost more from town to town in RI, but I understand insurance companies don't want a lot of people in certain areas. I should thank them cause when I checked around even my car insurance will be less. My suggestion is shop around every few years. AAA is not only company that bundles, offers travel discounts, movie discounts, and offers roadside services. The only thing AAA is good for these days is the DMV services, but even then they don't do a lot in that area too. I still stood in line last spring for 1hr to get license renewed.

Hi. So I decided to go with AAA insurance rather than some of the other cheaper companies because some of their reviews were so much better and they seem to make sure that I thought I was going to be completely covered if God forbid there was ever an accident! Well God forbid there was and my husband‘s truck was totaled! The truck was financed so currently still owe 4000 on it AAA turned around totaled it and offered me $1500 and doesn’t see why I am so unhappy and upset. Now they say, "Sorry ma’am but we do not cover replacement of your vehicle. Only the worth of the vehicle in your area!" Hello. What’s the point of having insurance if it’s not gonna cover what you are paying for the vehicle or what you have paid for the vehicle. That’s the point of insurance correct?!
Mind you when I insured it they specifically asked was the vehicle leased and or financed and I told them it was. Never did they say or make it clear that I would not get that if God forbid it was ever totaled! So now me as the consumer still go $3500 on a truck that’s totaled and I’m out of vehicle. Tried having AAA explain this and work with me on it but were unwilling to so my advice to you is do not go with AAA insurance. I recommend someone like Liberty Mutual or some of the many other ones that guarantee at least to replace your total vehicle.

I asked to add my husband to my home insurance policy and went ahead and paid for the auto policy and was going to pay for the home policy once it was updated. After multiple emails and calls, no one fixed the home policy that I was willing to pay more for but needed my husband on the policy.

I actually saved over $1000 by doing it with another company.
Since I had paid for the auto policy in full, I called AAA to get a refund. The policy was not in effect yet and the person who processed the refund confirmed twice when I asked that it would be a full refund. I logged on that evening to see if it was processed and there is a $30 charge for a policy that never went into effect yet, that no one ever told me that there would be a cancellation fee for-just a nightmare.

I asked to see a copy of the policy since nothing that I received showed that there would be a cancellation fee for a policy that didn't go into effect. They told me the policy is only for employees and I cannot see it. I asked for the situation to be escalated and for a manager to call me back and they told me that department does not call customers.
I have never heard of such a thing in my life.

I had AAA when I lived in Texas and had no issues so I was excited to learn they were in Tennessee when I moved. They also had the best rates compared to other insurance companies (guess I'm getting what I paid for). Everything was great for the first year but now I'm having so many issues that I will not be renewing during my renewal period. I updated my card info online the end of November because I received a new card. I also moved and called them to update my address the beginning of December. I believe I received one piece of mail at my new address then I noticed everything was being sent to my old one.
I was involved in a hit and run so I called to make a claim. The rep told me my policy had been cancelled that day because of non payment for December and that if I wanted to get it going again, I would have to pay $150. I asked how that could be when I had updated my card and I even had an email receipt telling me my payment info had been updated. No explanation whatsoever. I was told "there must have been a glitch in the system." When I asked how come I didn't get an email or mail telling me my payments weren't going through, again "there must have been a glitch." Want to know what their response was when I asked why my address wasn't updated either? If you said "glitch", you got it! That's totally unacceptable. So because of their mistake, I'm having to pay $150 to get my insurance coverage back.
Once I finally got all of that nonsense taken care of, let's talk about the claim process. Again, I can them all my info and thought everything was good to go. I was told I would be getting a call shortly. Never got a call. I called my "adjuster" this morning only to be directed to a customer care rep. I gave her my claim number and she proceeded to tell me that there was a mistake and I had been given the wrong name and number of my adjuster. How does this happen?

Here's what happened: I booked a reservation via AAA for Fiesta Henderson and called the front desk to find out what my options were because AAA specifies on their site "Contact the property directly for their deposit policy." So, I do that. I call and tell the front desk person, "What are my options for editing the booking date or canceling? Depending on what your policy is, will depend on what I do with my booking." The hotel front desk person says, "I don't know. I don't have access to any information since you booked with a 3rd party." You would think they would at least have cancellation policy, right? They eventually do. Read on.

You can't make a change, but it hasn't gone through so there is no charge for cancelling. I will cancel this for you and you will get an email confirming that. I say, "Okay, great. Thanks. Is there a case number for this in case I do get charged." He gives me this. A day later I see a pending charge from the hotel. I call AAA. They tell me that a fax has been sent to this hotel to request the refund for the 29.58 charged to my account.

(5th call) I finally get a hold of Nick at the front desk Fiesta Henderson Hotel by chance, today, 2 weeks after my booking. And the answer is, "Cancellations done within 72 hours of the hotel booking will forfeit your deposit."
I was never informed of this policy AND I carefully took the time to find out from multiple places/people, which includes AAA multiple times. If I was clearly informed of this, I would have stayed at the hotel instead of canceling. Now, my card has been charged an amount I did not approve. Now, time to file a claim with my bank. Poor service AAA in not admitting your responsibility in the fraudulent charge to my account and for giving me the run-around. 4 years as a AAA member was great, but I may have to think again about renewing.

I went to AAA insurance on a recommendation. I bundled all my insurance and thought I was good to go. How wrong I was. First, they forgot to schedule a photo session of my house. They called me and said there was still time, so they sent someone out within a week and again I thought I was good to go. I received a homeowners cancelation in the mail which made my auto go up because I lost my bundle price. I called and they said they had not received met pictures so they had to cancel. I got the run around and after numerous calls they said it was handled. To my surprise, I got another letter of payment due for my auto because of the cancellation. Again, the run around and numerous calls. Again, they told me it was handled. To top it all off, I was getting letters from institutions that I had loans with that my insurance for my home and vehicles, that my insurance had expired.
Then I got a letter saying the original quote given and paid for was not valid, I needed to come up with more money. I tried calling the office in Thousand Oaks, CA and speak to the person who wrote the policy. I left several messages but no call back. After a week or so I called the manager in the Camarillo Office and left several message on his phone. Still no answer. Finally after several attempts his assistant put me through to him. I explained the situation and he said he gets so many calls and messages, he can't respond to them all. I told him that was pretty made customer service. I told him I wanted to cancel and he helped me with it. Ironic, the best customer service I get from AAA insurance is when I leave them.
Course it doesn't end there. I finally get my refund checks from all insurances and they deduct a fee for having insurance with them and cancelling before the year. I called and told them no one ever, including the General Manager and salesperson ever mentioned this. I feel this was neglect on their part, especially since I was cancelling because they didn't honor their original price. I will contact the State Insurance Commission. I have been in public service for 40 years and have never seen such poor customer service. Think twice about AAA insurance. They are terrible.

We recently joined AAA. All the reviews say how great they are, that is NOT our experience. We were hit by another vehicle recently and the process has been a nightmare. Just having our vehicle towed, took 2 days. Every time we called, we were told they were too busy and to try back the next day. When we called to report the claim, we spoke with the agent for over 30 minutes providing all the information. The claims agent then called us, and didn't have any of the information, so we provided it again. We finally had the vehicle towed to our repair shop and was told that the adjuster would go to the repair shop. Then, they said that our vehicle had to be towed somewhere else. They never said, who would pick it up, when they would pick it up, or where it would be towed to.
We called multiple people asking these questions. Every rep will forward your call to a manager, who never answers their phone or email. Days later they told us our vehicle was towed from our repair shop to their preferred repair shop. Imagine our surprise when we drove by and our vehicle hadn't been moved! We called AAA to inquire and they insisted they had our vehicle. Obviously they had no idea where our vehicle was. Its been almost 2 weeks without a vehicle, zero progress. All of our calls are being ignored. Even escalating to management has been unsuccessful. At this point we are filing a complaint with the division of Insurance. I don't understand the positive reviews. For us, this has been the worst experience. I think dealing with insurance is worse than the accident.

I would have to reach out multiple times before I could get her or hear back from her. Apparently, she was constantly training -- presumably more people to help sign up people who switched, but not necessarily to help once the customers HAD switched!
I never had these issues when I had Allstate, and after a year of this constant hide-and-seek, I switched back to Allstate, a company I could rely on to be there when I needed them. Fortunately, I never had to file a claim with AAA.

During the first phase of trying to get our car fixed it took ten days before they could send an adjuster/appraiser out to look at the car. During those ten days, it took calling the claims agent six or eight times a day to get a return call, and emailing didn't make it any faster. Usually she would return the calls in three or four days - horrendous service!!! Then, when the adjuster/appraiser finally did authorize repairs, he instructed the repair shop to skip doing proper repairs and instead just spray-paint over the damage with black paint. Since this was on the plastic front bumper of a Lexus, the white-ish plastic under the spray paint shows through and it looks like some kid tried to hide something from his parents under black spray paint - an absolutely unacceptable shortcut, especially for such a high-end vehicle.
The combination of the cheesy shortcut repair and the miserable communication with the claims office has made me sad that we ever left Liberty Mutual, whom we will shortly be returning to. By the way, it's been over a week since the "repairs" were finished - we've been calling and emailing the claims agent and her supervisor all week, and NO response! Next step, I guess, is filing complaints with the state insurance commissioner and the Attorney General.

Avoid using Onboard App for AAA Insurance Discount until they revise hard braking.

They should be giving bonus points for avoiding traffic. Hard Braking monitoring greatly needs to be modified which is using my smart phone to determine deceleration. I drive a 2015 Camry and to avoid hard braking occurrences, I have to do rolling stops or take more risk with yellow lights at intersections to avoid having to apply brakes. Cars will pass me just to get in front of me because I taking excessive long distances to slow the vehicle down at stop signs and intersections.

Two months ago I received a call from AAA and indicated that they will switch my issuance from Safeco to their own. They indicated that Safeco decided to cancel due to the auto accident and AAA will insure my insurance as usual. My new insurance for auto and home took affected in August 22, 2019. I received a letter from AAA on September 16, 2019, indicating that they canceled my home owner insurance as of September 29, 2019. That gave me two weeks for look for other insurance. The reasons were the following: Refrigerator on deck, tree branch touched shed, trash in front of porch, abandon vehicles, and damaged chimney siding, and missing hand rail at back porch.
They apparently send an overzealous inspector that identified items that I can remedy all in one weekends. We were in the process of doing floor tile in kitchen and paint the living room; a weeping cherry with quarter inch branches touched shed; and one Miata under cover that AAA insured. Fortunately, I contacted Polygenius and was able to get insured and saved $700.00 annually for the identical coverage.
Shame on AAA, I contacted them to cancel my auto insurance, they credited me 45% of my prepaid for one month and ten days coverage. If AAA has the custody of calling, explain, and allow me to remedy the issues, I still remain a loyal client. I am just another number to them instead of a customer. Thank you for the cancellation which saved me $700.00 plus annually.

AAA in the Carolinas - I say do NOT insure your auto with them. They started out quoting me much lower than everyone else a year ago (when I first moved to the Carolinas) and hit me with a 61% rate increase after that first year. My insurance agent generally does not answer her phone, nor has she ever returned my calls. I have had to go into the office to have conversations with her, if she was actually in the office at the time. Then I paid the renewal late, due to the high rate increase and my moving my home at the same time, and the payment I did make in the office never went through. I received zero communication about this - nothing in email, nothing in snail mail, no phone calls, and nothing in my online account. Nothing.
I just called to find out why the payment never posted to my account (the bank said they had no record of it) and AAA (after three calls to a phone system that does not appear to work and being on extended holds) told me the routing number was bad and their system does not trigger any communication for that type of instance. OMG! If I had been in an accident, AAA would have just said my policy was cancelled, when they had NO NOTIFICATION anywhere of that fact.
