Breakdown cover

[TheBoy]

Renewal is due soon, and the AA are taking the piss, rather predictably.  And I point blank refuse to use RAC, given the last 3 times I've called them in the last 30 years.

What are you boys and girls using?

Green flag, £78 per year

These little shits are asking me to renew on the 29/11.


They wouldn't even pick the phone up when I needed them last year, so they can go f*uck themselves.

The new Mexican comes with 3 years of BMW assist (which is supposedly similar to the AA/RAC)

No idea if they are any good.

Mines due 31/12/23

As usual they take the p*ss at renewal time., last year I dint bother renewing  as I was given free RAC cover with my car insurance.  How ever a customer services agent rang me to discuss my renewal, end result lots of discount and paid the cheapest renewal in 6 years.

Personally I would wait and when they make contact just haggle politely and quote the price new members would pay.

My other point that I make with the breakdown companies is if we dont use them why dont we get a NCD as a bonus.

Green Flag, never had any problems when I've needed them.

I use via a reward current account, the family phone cover, plus breakdown works well for us, been good responses the times its been needed.
Had to upgrade once to get a tow all the way home, but I knew that before hand and decided if the day ever came the savings had more than paid for it!
Been the AA and the RAC and both been fine to be honest.

I'm tempted but who do they use?

I've found the service from the AA to be mediocre at best. The RAC being so piss poor they are not fit for purpose.

Local companies

That doesn't sound great especially if the owner of the local repair facility is away on holiday or down the pub.

Looks like Green Flag only covers cars up to 15 years old.

My highly desirable classic Vauxhall is just short of her 17th birthday.

Been with Autoaid for years and found them pretty good when Ive needed them. Seen some recommendations recently for Autonational and 2gether who I had never heard of before.

I'm with May Day ie the Caravan Club's deal with Green Flag.

I think I paid around £120 but it covers the caravan if that has a fault (Green Flag etc only recover your caravan when hitched up & the fault is with the tow vehicle) it's personal cover for both of us & we'd get a driver if I couldn't drive .... no way would SWMBO tow
