AA Price rise.
Joined above 4 yrs ago, 1ST year £70,2nd year £120,3rd year £160,this year £210. So cancelled. Looking for something cheaper,just to cover few long trips in 75 to meets or shows.Do all my local trips in Nissan,so don't need it for that.
Only intend to use 75 April/September.

Normally if you ring them up and say you are leaving, the price comes down dramatically.

The AA do the price rise every year. Ring them. Unless you've had a lot of call outs they will reduce it. I always ring them.

This discussion seems to occur every eight months; have a look in the search and there are several options - for me, at £50 a year - Autoaid; £170 less than your latest AA quote.

I always call them to discuss membership renewal. The quoted price always reduces. I got my Gold membership inc Relay for a fixed two year deal for £119 per annum, down from £168 per annum.

I managed to get my first year of AA for just £20! Not entirely sure how I did it, but I think they were doing an offer for cheap cover for the first year, I bought it through top cashback, and managed to get it for about £20.Might have even been a bit less. Not had to use it luckily, but it's good to know that if the worst happens i'm alright. Their business model is ridiculous - they essentially punish loyal customers.

Do Autoaid provide cover throughout Europe for cars over 15 years of age? Doesn't seem to indicate this on their website, and I don't have time right now to sit in "your call is important to us ..." hell.
I'd much rather go with an alternative to either AA or RAC, but living in NI I have to make sure that I'm covered for the multiple times in a year that I am driving in RoI.

I've now been with the RAC for 3 years, the most I've stayed with anyone. Each year they increase the renewal to more than double, one quick call to them and they reduced the renewal to just £10 more than the previous year. This year I only paid £50 for what is £120 personal cover. |
