Breakdown cover..any suggestions which is best?

[Jasikasisback]

As above...just changed insurance companies and now looking for good affordable breakdown cover...and experiences of people are welcome to help me make my decision...

I loved the RAC when I was with them. Really helpful guys, they always were friendly and helpful explaining what exactly was wrong, how to then sort it, and even went as far as sorting other things they spotted were wrong whilst fixing the primary fault, like seeing a broken earth that connects to the bonnet (does feck all) but they still fixed it. Another guy spent well over the time they're allowed to spend attempting to fix a car when I had an oil leak.

I'm with AA now, but only because it's the company my bank use. Otherwise I'd use the RAC again.

Make sure they'll cover you, mk3's are getting pretty old now.

I've been with the AA for about 7 years now and barely paid any more than I started on all those years ago. When it comes to renewal they also send a ludicrous quotes through and il always tell the bolloxs and get it put back to around £25-£30 each time.

If you have tesco club car vouchers, you can use them to buy RAC cover

I have AA cover with lloyds tsb. I paid a bit extra to put the Mrs on the policy. Only ever used them once when I blew the head gasket on my BMW. They were good as gold to to be honest.

Im with the AA. I pay less than £25 a month, for that i get roadside recovery, relay (they take me and the car anywhere i want in mainland britan) these are available to me on any car i am in, doesnt even need to belong to me. the feature i like the best is the breakdown repair cover. Up to 6 times a year on my megane they will pay up to £500 of parts and/or labour. (I pay my £25 excess then anything over the £500 that they pay!) They are very helpful, very polite and i would seriously reccomend!

Exactly the same here!

Seems like a decent deal,just wonder if anyone has any experience on actually using the £500 claim on repairs?
