    Threaten to leave, they'll lower it like that!

    I am with Autosure now.

    Go through Topcashback - sure the cashback is around £50 on that amount. I renewed through RAC this year using tesco clubcard points.

    The AA are a bit cleverer than that ! - they offer part of my package as "complimentary" so that if I then try to get a quote through cashback sites you have to include the costings under each heading so in effect the total "new" cost would be far in excess of £133 so even with the "up to £50" cashback you would be worse off.

    AutoAid will provide you that cover for £37.00 per year. :beer:

    I doubt the AA will match that even if you do manage to get any discount.

    Note that AutoAid is a pay & reclaim service though, not free at point of use like the AA, RAC, etc.

    Ring AA and ask for reduction, they dropped mine by 25% yesterday.
    You only have to ask.

    Think my renewl came in at £176 ( me and wife ) and was looking at AA web site and found if i was a NEW member it came in at £144.

    Phoned them up and they offered to match it....said i wasnt happy and offered £120 or i'd go elsewhere....Bit of a bargin i think

    Not with the AA but RAC quoted me £178 for renewal (we have our caravan included). I called them and told them it was too expensive and they dropped it to £139 without me even having to threaten to leave.

    I do like the cover they offer as you are covered even as a passenger in someone elses car so worth it for me.

  • if a company i had used for years rewarded my busisness with higher prices, that would be the last time i used them
