I took out a years RAC cover through a cashback website last week and have recieved my policy today.
RAC have an online discount at the moment - by buying it through a cashback site you get the RAC online price (starting from £33) + £17.50 cashback !

and to think you could have had all-Europe cover from ADAC for only 79 Euros, with no stupid age limits and much more generous cover, as well as someone who says 'what time would you like us to be with you?' rather than 'you'll be lucky if we turn up'.
Ah well, at least it was cheap.

The RAC are pretty good in my experience although I do have full cover. Only one poor experience when the hero patrol man said my golf is to low to pu on the dolly, so I put it on the dolly for him! :rolleyes:
Bargin has been down, well done fella! :cool:

The RAC have been really good for me too! My immobiliser failed and I couldn't move it, they were here within the hour, but couldn't tow it home so had to have it on a lowloader that came within 20 mins!
Also he said with mine not actually being a GTI it would cost me £150, but he said they would never no so he fibbed for me to get it for free!!
:grin:
TBH they're all really nice and non threatening for a female on there own.
I find the AA a bit creepy! :undecided:

Have to say I think RAC are cool.
Only ever broken down twice; once was me being silly and running out of petrol, came within 15 minutes with a can and I was on my way.
Second time wasn't so easy; going over to watch a film with my g/f and the rents and the engine on his 4x4 blew leaving us inbetween 2 junctions on the A14 in thick fog, they got the police to come out and assist until the lowloader turned up and took us home!
Either way you can't beat £15.50 a year.. I pay £7.50 a month for 2 policies, which I think is pretty fair still.

Had an email today from the cashback site the offer runs until the 12th of December

On from this, just a query, when calling them out, are they English speaking ? easy to understand, a UK number to call etc
-
Yes.
If you call them out in the UK then an AA patrol turns out.
And there's no stupid clauses like the AA and RAC have.
You're covered, all Europe, any car, all year.

Never had a problem with the RAC, always turned up (where ever & whatever time of day/night), always been within the time specified, normally a damn site quicker too. It's you that's covered not an individual car, so you don't even have to be the driver! Pretty inexpensive too! :)

I was with them about 5 years ago and found them expensive, thats why I posted the link for the cashback

im with the AA, and ive had to call them out twice, and first time guy was very good, sorted the problem out in 20 minutes, second time though, oooooooh dear. Took about one hour for the guy to arrive, then he couldnt sort out the problem, so i had to upgrade to recovery thing to get a tow home, then i had to wait another hour for a flatbed to arrive, but then another van came saying sorry no flatbeds available, closest one is 2 hours away, so i had to get a tow for about 20 miles, i was tired, couldnt be bothered to steer and the guy was pelting it aswell. oh well, no more troubles since then. will be moving to the RAC next year though.

My dad is with them (he has a few year old car plus an old AS camper), reckons they are good!
I'm still with RAC but only til it runs out! Have to say though RAC have always been good for me, never waited more than about 15 mins.
-
And all RAC customers get 5% off everything at play.com and i've used that quite alot!

Im with the AA and find them much better than RAC called the aa out loads of times always turn up quickley even had one turn up as i was just putting the phone down on the operater. RAC on the other had wouldnt trust them to turn up at all. broke down in a company car which is on rac policy rang them up bloke turned up after hour and a half looked at it n said i carnt tow that. ull have to wait for recover truck. so he moved me away from the slip road off the m1 and took me to a pub car park n said wait for the recovery truck. It turned up 6 hours later. As you can imagine i wasnt best pleased with them.
