Breakdown Cover
« on: 30 September 2019, 15:56:36 »

The renewal came through from AutoAid and its gone up from £43.31 to £59.99 for any car cover, probably because I called them out and got recovered home a few months ago when the BMW's driveshaft popped out.  :-\   And BREXIT..... obviously.  :-X  ::)  ;D

A quick shop around and I've gone back to Rescuemycar.com for £42.79 for similar personal cover (national recovery etc) and because I went via TopCashback I got £9.88 cashback as well. So £32.91 for the year.  :y

The fly in the ointment with Rescuemycar is that you pay a £40 excess if you call them out, but if I have a years trouble free motoring I'm quids in.  :) 

You've gotta shop around!  :y

Dear me, old boy. You're losing your touch.
Why bother with an extended warranty when you could just replace the car out of your petty cash?

I've got AA as part of a premium bank account ,roadside breakdown via Hastings car insurance and auto aid
I also carry enough tools to strip and rebuild a car  ;D
so unless I'm in a dangerous place, or it's proper f**ked , I'd probably fix it myself  :D
