[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I've been with this lot for years and whenever I've had to call them out they've arrived promptly and I've had no complaints. 

The only thing to be aware of is that although the premium is cheap, you pay a £40 excess if you call them out.

I use them for euro trips

Just done a quote for me and her as personal members, with £40 excess, and about £20 cheaper than AA (with no excess).  Without excess, its more than I paid for AA,  so I'll let the AA one start and re-evaluate in a year


Not against their modest excess, so could work for us. But I can't rely on RAC-esque apathy if she breaks down on the M40 on the way to work, and I'm staying away...

I will not use the RAC again.

I think I paid about £60 this year for personal membership.

They always charge ' lazy bastards' more.

They think if you can't be bothered to shop around then you deserve to pay more.

Just Googled that Skruntie. I can see why you pay a hellova lot more than a standard breakdown cover. Your renewal still seems a total ripoff compared to what new customers pay though. Have you tried to get them to reduce the premium to keep you on board?

[Sir Tigger KC]

I wouldn't even pay £209!

The wierd thing is adding the Garage cover didnt add to the overall cost.

I think they are trying to recover the loss of the batteries they fitted as the Garage cover as them all I paid was the 1st £35, but since I bought the NOCO there have been no call outs for flat batteries (and the NOCO seems to have proved that replacement batteries  replacent was not requiered)

Funny you should mention this, Skruntie. A NOCO GB 40 arrived today from Amazon as the RAC didn't even pick up the phone let alone actually come out.

They are totally useless.

I managed to get a decent deal with the AA this year, for both of us as personal members, only a few quid more than ResueMyCar.

But as said, will defo consider them in a years time when the AA will likely want a gazillion quid,....

As the last 2 times I've used the RAC I've struggled to get through in a sensible timeframe - "We are extremely busy today, use online, blah blah" for about 30+ minutes every call* - I've been randomly calling their number every couple of days.  And its always the same message.  So they know they have more customers than they can deal with. Idiots.



*The last breakdown, because I'd learnt that the RAC need constant poking to get anything done, as soon as I'd hung up, I was immediately calling them again, knowing it would take 30mins to get a response.  I have to praise Apple, the iPhone 13 Pro battery was truly staggering that day.

[Mr Skrunts]

Got charged £280 last year from a renewal request of £390 ish

This year they wanted £467.15

I just paid £211.69
