Thinking about getting AAA Auto Insurance? Don’t!
I has AAA Auto insutance for 4 years from 2002 to 2005. Usually you would think an insurance company would want a customer’s business but not these guys. never was late on any payment, but they decided to silently cancel my auto insurance.
I pay by the year and normally whenever my policy comes due I get a notification by phone or a call by an agent who says, “hey Marc, you’re insurance is due. Want to buy another year?” They don’t call, they just canceled me leaving me without insurance for 5 months.
Luckilly I wasn’t pulled over, had an accident, or had my car stolen. They put me at extreme risk without even a call. I have not points on my drivers license and never made a claim. I was a pure profit customer.
After spending over an hour on the phone getting transferred everywhere and talking to morons they said the cancelled me because my AAA membership dues weren’t paid, something else I had given them a credit card for and they didn’t renew. I thpught it was rather awful of them to expect that I have to get their permission as to who I might loan my car to.
So - I went online and got a Geico policy because I needed immediate coverage and I’m definitely not doing business with those nazi AAA Auto Insurance bastards again. So if you feel link I do, tell AAA to go fuck themselves. And let them know that I sent you.
You should report this to your state insurance department. If you are in California the commissioner is Garamendi and he’s the bane of insurers’ existence (he and Eliot Spitzer).

I drive a tow truck and you don’t want AAA car insurance anyway. That’s smart, you just paid 1000.00 for that 200.00 tow. Get roadside assistance on you insurance and call 911 to find a tow truck when you need one.
The people that we go pick up are always pissed at AAA. They must give IQ tests and hire from the bottom up. Their biggest concern is getting off the phone and passing the whole thing over to the towing company.
almost the exact same thing happened to me, but to take it a step further, the company that holds my loan slapped on a $1500 yearly insurance fee because AAA notified them and NOT ME that the insurance was cancelled…..>!!!!
My family has had AAA Insurancehad a rather large claim of about $4000 from lightening damage to television, computer & air conditioner. I have NEVER worked with an adjuster as nice and eager to work with as this one. I have worked in insurance for many years, and AAA’s claim service is above & beyond ANY company I have worked with or for. One bad or good experience does not reflect the entire company for sure.
Don’t be foolish and naive like I was. I went years without shopping around my insurance rates, and one day it dawned on me.. All I had to do was take 5 minutes and get some free quotes and boy, did I ever save some major $$
