Breakdown cover

I need to renew my breakdown cover, but I'd appreciate a bit of advice
from the group as to the best company to go for.

I'm after basic roadside assistance for a one-year old car, one driver
only. Getting prices of the major players, the AA is dearest at £42,
the RAC is £34 and Green Flag is cheapest at £26.25. Is there a great
deal of difference between them?

 

from my experience of Green Flag a year or two ago - they are only really a
recovery service. They didn't do much in the way of roadside repairs.

I was with AA for a while but switched to the RAC this year as it was a
better deal... I've got most of the services to fix or get me home from
anywhere in the country.

I'm sure there are others with more experience of these things and what
there performance is like on a call out.

 

I have been with the AA for over 20 years. Like most people who join a
breakdown organisation, I make little use ot their services as I try and
maintain my car to a reasonable standard. However, I have had to call them
out very occasionally and found them to be excellent both in their attitude
and ability. I know I could save a bit of money by switching but the
overall package is very good. Sometimes paying a little extra is worth it.

My post was a bit late in being sent - so I have missed the rest of the
thread... but I agree, the extra cost is worth it. I switched this year
from the AA to the RAC - purely because I do a LOT of miles and the RAC
recovery to home package was a better option with them... also the RAC offer
a discount on your following years subscription if you do not call them out.
