AA Cars works with dealerships to provide top-quality used cars. Its dealer promise includes a commitment to offer history checks, six months’ MOT, and a mediation service to resolve disputes between buyers and dealers. It also offers an independent AA Pre Purchase Inspection, which is a more comprehensive, 100-point vehicle check.
The AA has been providing roadside assistance and other motoring services since 1905, with a range of membership benefits that include free breakdown cover, discounted repairs and a member’s magazine. The AA also provides driving lessons, loans, road maps and insurance products. The AA demutualised in 1999, and from 2014 has been a public limited company.
AA’s car insurance policies are rated highly by Canstar, with a rating of ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot and five-star ratings from Defaqto. You can choose from a third party, fire and theft or comprehensive policy, and add extras such as a one-event, no-excess guarantee. You can also pay a reduced premium for AA breakdown cover with certain membership packages. AA also offers an accident repair guarantee and a range of other benefits for members, including roadside assistance, free telephonic technical advice and travel packages. You can save money on AA car insurance by using a price comparison website. However, it’s worth bearing in mind that AA insurance is often more expensive than other insurers. Its claims limits are relatively low for some situations, and it doesn’t cover vandalism (unless you get its motor accident plan add-on). Its customer satisfaction is high, though. AA cars
