....my AA card

Thats one thing i wont be carrying anymore.....As i discovered today.....the AA have gone the same way as the RAC did last year.....I now have to join as business use...wait for it....a whopping £365......the RAC is over £400  

Thought I'd just let you know TD, the company I work for have a leased car fleet with full maintenance but we do have a Transit van which is owned by us. I've just had the RAC annual renewal invoice in and it's only £114.50 and includes recovery, home start and rescue which is somewhat less than you were paying. This is done through RAC Small Business services.
Is it that yours is so high because you have to cover several cars? Let me know if you need a phone No.  

Thanks for that AA   But that is the reason.....trying to cover 4 cars  

RAC last year wanted to join as small business and wanted the reg no of the car
AA are now doing the same....whereas last year i got away with it....they now want the reg no too.

So basically last year if any of my cars broke down, i could turn up and call the AA as no reg no's were recorded.....this year i cant get away with it  

So dont think i'll bother.....as my local garage will recover my cars quite cheeply.....only if one broke down on a motorway would i get stung for a big recovery bill....prolly £130-£150 to get it off the motorway.....but even so that 2 or three breakdowns on a motorway.....so think i will take a chance  :-/

Have you thought of getting one of those towing A frames to do your own recovery mate?

Is that one of those solid bars connected between towing hooks....that ive seen breakdown services using? Are they allowed to be used on motorways?

I think you can use em to remove a broken down vehicle, obviously someone like Hotel 21 would be able to give you a definitive answer.
Google "towing a frame" and you'll see what I'm on about

One of these:-

Towing Bar

I believe Mark has one, he may have some more advice on it
