AA cars
Known for its breakdown cover, the AA also acts as a broker for other insurance products such as car insurance. With an ‘excellent’ Trustpilot rating and many five-star reviews from Defaqto, AA car insurance could be worth considering. However, it does lack a vandalism promise (your no-claims bonus isn’t affected by acts of vandalism you report) and has a low personal accident cover limit, unless you purchase the add-on.
In addition, a member of the AA has the opportunity to have any vehicle independently inspected by the AA before it can be sold. This gives buyers extra peace of mind and can help to ensure they are getting the right car for their budget.
Dealerships were forced to innovate like never before during the pandemic, with Click and Collect services seeing unprecedented demand. This helped to reduce stress for customers and, in turn, more than 80% of those who bought without viewing the car in person say they would do it again.
The AA has partnered with the Chartered Trading Standards Institute on its AA Approved Dealer product to offer more protection for consumers. Those dealers who have signed up can display the branding on their forecourt and website to give buyers more confidence in their business. This is alongside the AA Dealer Promise, a 10-point charter which includes a commitment from dealers to offer history checks and a minimum of six months MOT.
