Hi All,
I'm considering getting breakdown cover and have had a quote from Greenflag for £75 for Recovery, and The AA is £69 for Relay....
I'm leaning toward Greenflag as they use local garages and refuse to use the RAC as they were rubbish when I was a member a few years ago...
I was just wondering what other peoples experiences are and if anyone has any advice?
Cheers :y :y :y

I'm with AA (joint policy for me and the old bag, in any car (my car is too old for a car policy)), £91 relay.
No idea how good they are, never used them.
Tunnie's Towing Services works OK, but occasionally you have to repay the favour....

hope that includes full European breakdown cover!
I pay £70 a year with German based ADAC (German version of AA)
Call AA in this country, but if i am in any European country i ring them, and fully covered. When with RAC i had stupid quotes of triple my annual payment for a weeks cover!

Is that just recovery to nearest agent, or recovery to any destination, including repatriation if necessary?

Basically its towed to a garage, if its not repairable within 3 days, they ship it back home covering all costs. They even cover hotels while your car is being fixed :o

Green Flag Mayday here through the Caravan Club.
Both vehicles covered for 130 quid :y
RAC jacked-up their quote massively >:(
-
Or for one-off tows, that young Jedi provides a quality towing service, although the 'customer entertainment' music is a bit 1980s Stock, Aitken and Waterman style....

Avoid....what do you think would happen if you had been on holiday for a week, arrived back to your car at 1 in the morning with a 1 year old and a 3 year old to find you have a flat battery.
I had been a member for 8 years.
The answer is basicaly......sod off, you need home start cover!
And for a charge of 120 quid they could give me a jump start but it could be three hours as I was not a priority.
Crap company.

AA for me,I have four cars in total so works out cheap for me and the boss ;D
-
