Have a look at Drive 24/7 website very similar ,have used them for years and can recommend them. No paying and claiming back and various covers for what you need.

I've been with Drive 24/7 for some years and they were great on the one occasion that I needed them, although there was no attempt to do a roadside repair on the split fuel delivery hose just a recovery to my place of choice, but there's always room for change if it's a better service.
Not sure if AutoAid still work on the claim back system or if it's more straight forward now.

Cheers Ian

I was with them some time ago - only had to use them once, and everything was dealt with quickly and effectively.

Have been with them a few years, fortunately never had to call on them. It's having that piece of mind.

AutoAid, been with them for years, used them a few times but not recently. They used to have a pay and claim process but I believe they have aligned themselves with there competitors recently, Very very good. Covers your married partner if at same address, home start etc and covers you in any other car.

To be honest I would not go anywhere else for cover

Been with them couple of years but I have not use them . If you go through MSE , you get 15 months cover for the price of 12 months

Hi Ian,
I've been with them for quite a few years, so much cheaper than RAC or AA.
Never had to use them though, fingers crossed, but they always get good reviews.

Used them in the past (still with them) and you can see why they use the pay and claim system . It was because they didn't have any recovery services of their own . They contacted the nearest (hopefully) breakdown supplier and you then had to pay him , and recover the cost from themselves .
But as quoted , they MAY have changed their system .

There are not many breakdown services that have there own fleet these days beyond the big two..

Autoaid do not require payment and reclaim now - they pay the breakdown company directly so it is just like any other company.

Driver and spouse (partner) are covered in any vehicle and cover includes home call and recovery to your chosen location. For around £42, I don't think they can be beaten,
