AARP Avis 270

I am 84 years old and have been an AARP member for a long time. I have enjoyed the benefits of their supplemental insurance program for many years. A few years ago I decided to purchase automobile insurance from the Hartford insurance sponsored by AARP. My first year premiums were substantially less than what I wae paying which I soon learned was a promotional premium. After my first year the premium was increased by 22%. This year my premium was increased by a wopping 40%.
,(and that was with a perfect driving record and no claims }. I feel that this practice is a borderline scam. I don't feel that it is AARPs intent to take advantage of their senior citizens by sponsoring this program.

AARP IS INCOMPETENT! I rejoined a year ago with a status of divorced. No significant other listed. They just auto renewed my membership with a card for my ex! I called to rescind membership. Waited for 20 minutes. I expressed my frustration and demand refund while expressing disgust with their poor record keeping. The representative just hung up on me. DON’T JOIN AARP. INCOMPETENT. POOR SERVICE. A FRAUD!

AARP is nothing but a scam! They do all kinds of research into all kinds of companies charities and they research it for seniors. They give the information to seniors and then claim that what they're doing is trying to get a better price or more or discount for the seniors. Then they want you to pay an annual membership. They don't tell you that the CEO makes over 1.5 million a year and that the benefits are not accepted everywhere it's hit and miss. This is the biggest money making scam against seniors I've ever seen in my life. Especially when you can do the research yourself and not every business will honor you being a senior and give you a discount. I can't believe this is still a legitimate money making business in the US. 😡

In the good "old" days, AARP really seemed to represent the senior citizens. It is now a money grabbing far left leaning Democrat organization that really does nothing for the senior senior except empty our pocket books by the promises of all these discounts that with a little effort we can find more favorably elsewhere. They should represent both sides of the isle but they don't.

They did not protest Biden increase to the Medicare Supplemental plans monthly rate increase. Did you read about this from AARP and them protesting. That would be a big NO!

My Daddy taught me to follow the money. Follow the money at AARP is down the far left leaning political agenda instead of an agenda for all American Citizens. Who cares what these crazy Hollywood characters do. They don't represent the typical Senior Citizen who is trying to stay afloat after this high inflation of the past 3+ years. I am going to follow "my" money back to my pocket not theirs.

Place a better search for insurance, "Hartford" is a joke and are not truthful when you catch them in the act, they were $875. to $1000. over other quotes, then they claim you did not pay, so they state you have to wait one year before applying again. This is just wrong when you don't renew because of their rates. I fault AARP as they represent them!

AARP is a rip off. I just received a auto quote $1,000 every 6 months. I accepted a quote from Progressive at $472 every 6 months.. The difference in price is unbelievable and AARP stated discounts and savings.. Dropping this rediculous membership as it's a rip off

AARP is preying on seniors by engaging in deliberately deceptive marketing. I just received an e-mail from the "AARP Member Welcome Team" with the subject line: "Robert, Thank You for Joining AARP!"; the body of the e-mail begins: "Thanks for becoming a member.". I have not joined AARP myself, but membership is included as a benefit of other programs. I attempted to obtain my member number over the phone and in online chat but was told that there is no record of me being a member (wouldn't I like to pay to join?). My HMO does not offer AARP membership as a benefit. Following up on this fraudulent e-mail with AARP and my HMO wasted about half an hour of my time. AARP is lying to people whose e-mail addresses it has, luring them into contacting AARP, and then offering to sign them up for membership (for a fee) when they discover that they are not in fact members. The Member Welcome Team has not responded to my inquiry regarding my bogus membership (although its e-mail address accepts replies) and continues to spam my inbox. I'll probably take this up with the Better Business Bureau.

If I could leave a zero stars that would be closer to reality. AARP immediately sells your phone number and email address to everyone selling some type of senior product or service. If you don’t want your phone ringing off the hook with telemarketers and email box full of trash, avoid AARP totally!

As a former AARP member who tried unsuccessfully to influence this gigantic scam of elderly Americans, I URGE SENIORS TO BEWARE THEIR MANY PLOYS AND SO-CALLED OFFERS TO GET YOU TO JOIN THEM -- AARP has become a bureaucratic bunch of pseudo-progressive purveyors of overpriced insurance and ineffective lobbying. One aspect of AARP´s abysmal failure to really represent older Americans is their blatant refusal to really consider vital articles on consumerist themes -- the vaunted AARP MAGAZINE refuses to even receive an entire article, demanding that only a summary be submitted!

The AARP website tries to entice seniors by offering all sorts of promotions and offers, while their overpaid staff sit on their hands as to such issues as the urgent need for Advance Directives to become standard practice for aging Americans, particularly those suffering from senile dementia such as Alzheimer´s Disease. AARP is a phony advocate as to real senior issues, and mostly exists to divert the elderly from actually resolving problems! BEWARE

Not even worth one star! Signed up for the 5 year plan for $45 and they charged my card $63. Tired of being taken advantage of by American companies? I guess lie cheat and steal is the American business plan!

no flights available for British airways. no costumer service it locks good but its worse

AARP needs to immediately distance themselves from Robert di niro. What an evil sorry individual. The people he portraits in his film career is exactly what he is all about. He truly is anti American. If you don’t you will lose a lot of customers.

I'm 55+ years old and AARP was more expensive than Geico!!! Stay away from AARP!!!! 😬😬

You pay your fee and you get a stupid magazine until you have to pay your fee again AARP is a ripoff and should be shut down by the federal government for fraud of senior citizens

Each year we are told AARP gets us discounted health care through United Health Care and Prescriptions. Yet each year UHC raises our rates more than any COLA payments we get. I have stopped saying AARP for discounts since it is obvious I get increase rates from Hotels to Rental cars. AARP is a bad choice to make. I called UHC to complain with the most recent rate hike and was told that there is nothing that can be done. Rate hikes are across the board yearly for everyone. AARP is a joke and WE will not be renewing any more. We are reaching out to other heath care companies to find one more ethical than AARP or United Health Care.

Total rip off sent 30.00 money order for 2 year membership, I was supposed to get a trunk organizer and a membership card got nothing, money order has been cashed customer service hiding not responding.
Last dollar they ever get from me.

How difficult is it to keep the website designed to accommodate a 5 year renewal working. Tried several times, and then resorted to a basic search of the generic website. Up jumped an entire page of sponsored ads for insurance of all kinds.

The test of my tenacity was a bust...for them. I'll skip renewing.

I do not get why in the world AARP keep increasing the monthly fee when most of us are senior citizens on fixed income and we may have to choose between better health care OR eating and or rent etc..I for one WILL be looking into another health care plan elsewhere...

When you sign up AARP sells your email address far and wide. After you login to AARP website check your spam inbox to see the many emails you receive. What a disgrace.

Months ago, I decided to compare auto insurance rates to see if my rate was lowest. Incredibly, AARP's rate was $715 per month for a 13 year old car! Ridiculous! That's supposed to be a lower rate for Seniors! I won't bother to renew!
