Breakdown Cover

[fruitsalad]

Any recommendations for national breakdown cover please.

I'm with the RAC at the moment but that's mainly because I get a decent price for them through my car insurance. I've used AutoNational Rescue in the past though and I'm happy to recommend them to you:

AA were spot on when needed them.

Which? Recommended Provider (the AA also) is Start Rescue...brilliant prices and very good reviews too. Just enter your registration number and choose level of cover and get an instant (very low) price.

I cannot recommend the AA, on the two occasions I required their assistance, they let me down badly.

It's worth remembering that only the RAC and AA have their own mechanics. Their vans are akin to mobile workshops and well stocked with loads of common spare parts, such as bulbs, fan belts and batteries. So they're particularly well equipped to fix a breakdown at the roadside.

Other services though, like Green Flag or the firms mentioned above, simply contact a local garage who work under contract to them. They tend to turn up in a pickup truck with just some basic tools with them. That means that they're probably less likely to fix a problem at the roadside and more likely to tow your vehicle to a garage (or convey you home if you've got a relevant level of cover).

We've been with the AA for 20+ years. We have been happy with every call out, and feel secure knowing we are covered by them. The cover we have isn't cheap, but I guess you get what you pay for.

I have got the RAC through my car insurance as well. It halved the cost for me so worth looking at.

Anyone who's been with the AA for a while, I do recommend ringing at renewal time and asking of they can better the price. I told them I was considering moving to low cost service that came with an insurance quote and they knocked a fair bit off to keep us.

I do. Every year.
