From the 1st March 2015.
« on: 04 February 2015, 13:49:21 »

I.....I mean we.... become a member of the RAC.

Joint membership with any number of cars. £80.

The policy is called 'Roadside with nationwide recovery'

The AA refused to compete so boll*cks to them.

We have been with the AA for the last seven years. No call outs during this period. (Omega do not break down ::) ::) ::)). They rewarded my loyalty by loading our premium to the tune of 83%. :(

They wouldn't budge......so 'f*ck em'

They've informed me they would have reduced my monthly premium from £19.45 to £12 if I stay with them... Too late I tell them RAC won the day. :)

No idea.. She wasn't impressed I was leaving as I'm a " gold" member that takes 5 years to gain and could I reconsider? Noni said I joined RAC 10 mins earlier.. If your price hadn't gone up I wouldn't have noticed and would still be with you..

Of all the breakdown providers I have ever used, RAC were the absolute worst.

I have had them FOC on a car I had previously, 2 call outs and both times they behaved as though I was asking them for money.

Then like an idiot, I actually paid for a policy a couple of years ago. Probably drawn in by the cheaper price compared to the AA. We broke down with a small child in the car and the response time quoted was 6 hours. Allegedly that was the standard response time for that day. And no there wasn't any snow or natural catastrophes that had occurred either.

In JC's words, I would rather have gonorrhea than pay to be a RAC member.

I've used both the AA and RAC over the years. Can't say I noticed much difference.

I've gone the DD route at £6.66 a month..... with no extra premium to pay, unlike STMO and his car tax.  :P :P :P ;)

I opted to pay in one installment just so there was one less DD to think about in our monthly outgoings.. Infact I changed our house insurance today too for the same reason and went from £300 a year to £60.... 😊
