Breakdown question?
 

I know this gets asked a lot but who at the moment is a good company for cover? We live in the middle of nowhere so I’m with the RAC. They cover me and my son rather than any of the cars and will bring the cars back home rather than to the nearest garage, they also don’t have an age restriction on the vehicles but the renewal is just short of £300 which seems expensive?

You need to ask them for a big discount, I am with the RAC and paying a lot less than that for similar cover.

It does sound excessive and I’ve only ever called them out once about 5 years ago. I just need some comparisons, I looked a few years ago but a few other companies restricted age so I stayed with the RAC. I have onward travel which I could probably remove up my Son on the policy needs to stay.

That does seem awfully expensive. I have been with the AA for 24 years, and have the Homestart, Relay, and Roadside cover which comes in at £188 p.a.

There are cheaper options I know, but I suppose I'm just a " horses for courses", type.

I think it went up significantly when I added my Son about two years ago. He commutes to university 45 miles away and for peace of mind it made sense. I’ve stuck with them as you know what your getting but maybe time to shop around?

I'm with RAC at the mo, pay monthly, around 150 quid I think. I always get the AA online new member quote at renewal but for last couple of years RAC have beaten it. Maybe they're getting wise to the fact that price trumps loyalty. Had Green Flag for a year, they made no attempt at a roadside fix, just said "Where do you want me to tow you?" Some here like Autoaid but I get a tad iffy about paying out and claiming back costs.

Thats the price you pay for being a loyal customer. Have you tried Green Flag?

hi there i got rac to with me and my daughter on there as well with onward travel home start and cover for my caravan and pay no where near that at last renewal i paid 170.00 you need to haggle with them there first quote was 286.00 told them i could get it cheaper with green flag and i would leave they then came up with new figure good luck
regards paul

RAC, just me alone with cover = roadside rescue, recovery any UK destination, at home (free) £80.00 15 months policy
Must be good:}

Try different companies for a quote and then contact RAC and see if they are willing to match or better these quotes, i would resume they would rather than lose you.

Tick the boxes below and see what it would cost you to have the same as you have now?
