They want no less (after negotiation) than £12.50 a month.

This is for any car for  wife and I. Plus home start.

Reasonable or taking the piss?

The original quote was £30 a month.

£1.50 per week each, whats to think about?

Just do it and think about something more important.

thats my opinion anyhow.

My May Day (Caravan Club's Green Flag) was about £120 for SWMBO & me to have  personal cover  i.e. any car and also my daughter for her & her car

[Pmacca2000]

They quoted me £80-90 for the year including recovery and I think it was  home start and I didn't think that was so bad to be fair

My wife and I have cover through our bank account (Natwest), mostly because our company at the time was playing silly bu@@ers about the maximum age/mileage a car could be to be covered. We pay £18pcm for worldwide travel insurance, mobile phone cover, breakdown (same service as you mention) and some discount restaurant card that we never use.

In the 2yrs we've had it, the mobile phone alone has covered the entire outlay.

So on that basis £12.50 looks a bit steep, however as a stand alone product you may struggle to get it down below that, and even if you do, I would think £9.99 would pcm would be a lower limit, so saving a max of £25/yr.

Probably just go with it

I get breakdown cover free with my NW bank account.

does it include national recovery?  i expect most people here want that so they can fix it at home or at a garage they know.  I use Start www.startrescue.co.uk - £38.70 a year less £8.12 cashback, no callout excess.  covers national recovery but not homestart which is extra (do you really need homestart?)

previously i used rescuemycar.com can't fault them except they kept putting the price up (£32 plus £40 per callout).

[Sir Tigger KC]

Yes rescuemycar.com are very good! 

Although not recommended if you plan to use them as they charge a callout fee on top of the premium.

It does, used them twice last year, failed steering motor and ign switch failure on the TD. Recovered to home both times.

[TheBoy]

The cheeky RAC want £94 (joint members,, national recovery) on their renewal.  I haven't stopped laughing since it arrived, so not been able to call them.  I'd pay £80. Perfectly happy to pay that.

Now I don't have a bike, I can start looking at other options now

You would have to pay me to use them. And I've been paid to do their work
The same applies to all the other LetsStartaRecoveryOrganisationFromaPhoneBox.hopelessdreamer that have sprung up recently.

I prefer the word frugal.
