Hi I've just changed my car insurance to RAC and was quoted full comp. £34 per month from April ,which I am happy with. Noticing I had got my cover date wrong ,I phoned customer service and asked if I could change the date from April 4th to start today (22nd March) the advisor said. I could,but my payments would go up to...£58 per month ! YES an increase of £24 per month , because I wanted to move the date ! I was in shock and said I will cancel the policy, she said there would be a cancellation charge ,so I said I came to RAC to save money not pay more ! Eventually I said leave it as it is ,and phone my previous insurers and humbly asked if they could change my cover for the remainder, they did ..at no extra charge ! Is this normal for RAC or any other insurers to add so much per month just because you want to alter a policy ?

Sounds steep. Most insurers will charge a oneoff admin fee for any change. monthly increase makes me think they changed something.

Seems completely unreasonable, also you should have a 14 day cooling off period if you want to cancel. I assumed that was penalty free
