Always shop around!
I havent had much luck with the VWRA, everytime I rang up when I needed them they didnt have a record of me! (3 Times I had issues with them)

Some tell me more about this RSA please!
My car is 8 months old - so do I automatically have it, or do I need to register etc?
In emergency, who do you call, and what is the quality of service like??

Not quite for free, they charge between £7 and £25 approx for these accounts.
