General Car Chat / Re: Its That Time of Year Again - Breakdown Cover
« on: 08 December 2023, 09:54:20 »I used to alternate between AA and RAC. Because she is on the motorway every day, I don't want any breaks in cover. You know it will be the law of sod!
AA new customer is quoting me about £125 . Renewal is over £150. This year was under £90.
Sir Tig's suggestion looks good aside from a clause that if it can be repaired locally the next working day, they will tow to local garage - not too happy about that, as that means if it broke down on a Friday, they could potentially leave us stranded until Monday night.
Alb's suggestion has a clause that needs clarification over as well.
What they mean is it will take them a working day to make a decision about your 'recovery'. And then you'll find the joke really is on you, because that decision was always going to be 'NO'. You would be better off putting the membership(a lie just like football 'clubs') fee in an envelope in the glovebox, to use as a bribe to persuade the person who felt sorry enough to pick you up as a hitch-hiker to actually take you home.
You should also consider that anything that might go wrong with your car can be repaired. That doesn't mean you actually would.....
