Breakdown Cover
Moderator: Trig
So i'm with theAA and its been a great service for recovering other peoples cars under my name/card (but thankfully not my own car).
On the website the relay option that I have is quoted as £69.19 (under a discount), I called to see how much my renewal would be............. £92. Slight issue there, seems continual custom isn't rewarded Trouble is I'm finding it hard to go with anyone else except RAC or GFlag. I was tempted by some of the other e- online companies but the bottom line is theAA are massive and even if the e- companies put their work through theAA I doubt i'll get the excellent service I have from theAA.
Anyone else found this to be the case ?
Going to ring them 2moro and hopefully get my renewal at the reduced rate

RAC
Always been decently priced and always had great service when I've needed em.
Think we pay £120 pa for the whole family for the same as relay cover option with the AA
Basically this package: <a href="http://www.rac.co.uk/web/breakdowncover ... velCode=81" target="_blank">http://www.rac.co.uk/web/breakdowncover ... Code=81</a>

Shop around for an insurance policy that includes breakdown cover.
My spit is insured through peter best, costs £120 a year fully comp, includes european health insurance and european breakdown cover.
I've only had to use them once, guy from a local breakdown center came and picked me up and took the car to mine.
He didn't try to fix it because i told them over the phone i just wanted a flatbed to pick me up (broken brake line).
It includes homestart too, and i pay sod all for it.
The only thing it doesn't do is cover me in other peoples cars.

I've been with the AA for years, hadn't really noticed the renewal thing, I know I started off paying about £56...
Only had 1 issue with then when I crashed on that roundabout years ago, they said that I might be charged to be recovered if they didnt have a vehicle that couldnt recover me and had to call in someone else, I told them I wouldnt be paying because they didnt have the vehicle to do the job I pay them for...

AA here as well. Like you Andrew I looked around at renewal and couldnt find anything better. If fact I couldnt find anything that did the same service cheaper! Most will insure the car but I needed a family membership that insures each person so my kids are covered whereever they are.
I agree that I have been uncomfortable with AA since the change of ownership etc, but no one appears to be filling the gap.
