I've never bothered going direct, I find its better to find a bank account that offers this "free" - I also get mobile phone insurace and other perks for less than £10 a month in my Barclays current account.

the breakdown cover included in bank accounts is pish.

i have a friend with a BoS account with breakdown cover included (amongst other things for £12.50 a month)

read the terms and conditions around it. his had a mileage limit of 10 miles. not so handy really.

Ok maybe I should post this in the mk2 section as they might have had more experience with breakdown companies  :laugh:

Seriously, am thinking of getting it but not sure which one to go for? Any recommendations?

as the solo Mk2 breakdown user - you need the Mk4 section, especially regarding recovery  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

I am AA, but only cos its a long standing FAMILY policy  :cool:

RAC for me. they are spot on everytime. had bad experience with AA not taking my g/friend home & leaving her stranded at the roadside because we didnt have the certain cover level!!!
