    On April 16, 2021 we started our ************** with the AAA Hawaii Interinsurance Exchange of the Automobile Club. This was when we inquired about coverage and a month and a half before we need the Insurance. This signed agreement was for coverage for 365 days that cost us $1604. One of their employees decided to up our insurance coverage and as a result increased our costs. Seeing that we never requested this increased coverage or the new increased cost, we did not agree with the setup that was taking place. On September 8, 2021 without justification, the insurance agreement was cancelled. Later, we received a check in the amount of $124. As stated, the Insurance started on April 16, 2021 and ended on September 8, 2021. If cashed this would be a show that we excepted the little returned money as a full payment. This is a typical way that corrupt businesses conduct themselves. This means that we paid $631.21 for the coverage. We had paid for an additional 220 days that we were not covered for. This comes to $966.79 that we have been shorted.We want to receive a check in the correct amount of $966.79.

    We have been members for over thirty years, and when you call they thank you for that however, when I needed them they didnt deliver the service. My car stalled before 1 pm, tried the online way to request a tow but it kept getting the location wrong, so after ten minutes I called. They will send a tow, eta 2:42. Took my contact info to get text updates. Got the first two texts. Went home. Husband went back at 2 to wait with the car. No tow. Called at 3:15, on hold for 30 minutes before I could talk to someone. Shes checked, all the vendors they asked declined the job. However, none of this was communicated to me via the update texts. They were supposedly working on it. If I do t hear from them in 15 minutes, call again. Asked if theres another number because it takes half an hour to get thru, she said this is it. After five minutes I dialed again ( on a different phone). Still no text update. Took a another 30 minutes to talk to someone. This time, Niko, said they are still trying but he will try to call himself too. About 10 minutes later he called that someone is on the job. He will call my husband. *********** called right after that anencephaly 5en the ball started rolling. We finally got a tow truck at 5:00. Four hours later! Im so lucky we were parked in a safe place, even though it was closed. AAA should have done a better job trying to get me a tow truck and communicating what was happening. If they couldnt locate a vendor in the area within a reasonable amount of time they should have extended their circle to other vendors and paid the price. Weve been paying their annual fees for over thirty years, but when I needed them AAA failed.
