I'm pretty sure its the person covered and not a particular car.

Just checked on their site and you are 100% correct. But you have to be the one driving at the time of breakdown.

I still can't find any info about the maximum age of the car covered.

They have no age limit as far as I'm aware.  I checked with them when I switched to them a couple of years ago after falling foul of RescueMyCar's 16 year limit. 

They may have introduced one though in the last couple of years so might be worth a phone call.

Autoaid recovered my 27 year old Merc last year, so I don't think there is an age limit.

All breakdown companies are only as good as the agents working for them

Fully agree with that. Maybe Ive been lucky so far with autoaid, but the three drivers I had were all pretty good.

Easy enough to swap seats when recovery arrives.  Recovery driver wont care as he gets paid directly from them when he has done the job. 

My thoughts exactly.

Its the person and their spouse driving any car.

Ive called them out twice over five years or so.  No complaints.   Just ring their central number and they arrange a local agent to attend.  Both times took about an hour as I recall.   They even rang me periodiocally to give me an update on how long the wait would be which was a nice touch.   I'm not aware of vehicle age restrictions.   It does cover homestart but there is a premium for Euro cover.

Think Service on Site cover your area for them

Can only speak for fleet cover from AA.

2x Breakdown, both times able to get to safety, so no need to hurry.  I'm getting paid to sit here and play Pool on my phone.

BUT....... Neither time has the AA turned up.  It's always a third party.

(Note: Vauxhall Vivaro Van, 2017).

I had similar with works van, with RAC. I think fleet contracts get the lowest priority.

I my case 7hrs was the worse, waiting for them to turn up. Shame the ex-pub I was parked up near wasn't open, as it was a bloody cold, dark night.

I think you may be right, although the last callout was in Suffolk, so a different out fit that time.
