[Sir Tigger KC]

I was with the RAC for a couple of years some time ago and called them out twice.  The first I waited about 3 hours for them to turn up and the second time they phoned back and said they'd be about 4 hours.    I told them not to bother. 

I've been with Rescuemycar.com for a few years now and it's terrific value if you don't call them out as they have low premiums, but you pay an excess everytime you call them.  So call them out more than once and it's not such a good deal, however I can't fault their service as I've had someone with me within about an hour each time! 

They can't open deadlocked Omegas with the keys in the boot though.

Its contents only. I privately rent where I live so don't need building insurance..

Ah that helps a lot.. of course you reminded me that mine is due and I should shop around; when I checked it renews tomorrow so I've left it a bit late now! 

£360 with Admiral on renewal or I could have got it for £210 with LV.. better phone Admiral tomorrow and see if it's too late!

I went on comparison web wotsit and was inundated with dozens of quotes.

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

I too have had issues with RAC, but could be as it was part of a large account, maybe we got poor service. 6 hours for them to come and fix a puncture. I remember it was a bloody cold evening

[TheBoy]

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.

That's about what I pay the AA for the same.  Its coming around to that time of year again, so we'll see what they say

[Crazycarzowner]

I get mine & wifes  breakdown free with work

My bank supplied Aa cover includes everything except accident recovery... Home start is handy to have just in case... But quite expensive if you have to pay for it directly

[Marks DTM Calib]

Its quite expensive when you consider the monthly bank charges to!

The company I would advise against is Green Flag, to many little T&Cs that will leave you stuck......as happened to me sadly!

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Joined the AA almost a year ago though Top Cash Back was supposed to get around £38 back never did though.

Probably go for which ever is cheapest this time round without cash back....

[Marks DTM Calib]

For info, you only get cash back if you pay as a single payment, not monthly

[Mr.OmegaMan]

I did pay it all at once actually 

[Marks DTM Calib]

Its worth querying with topcashback (or whoever was used) then 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Typical, Bloody typical... 

First time I've used a 'cash back website' and it goes tits up
