Best Breakdown service deal

I just renewed my roadside breakdown with the AA, but now I'm wondering if I could have got a better deal elsewhere. The quote I got seemed high so I rang them and they immediately dropped it by £23 "because I'm a long-standing customer" apparently. I agreed to take it up but now I'm wondering if I should have shopped around more.

Does anyone but the AA and RAC offer good country wide cover. Could I have got it cheaper somewhere else?

    Do you work for the Civil Service or a member of your family by chance? as the CSMA (Civil Service Motoring Association) offers great discounts via Green Flag!

    AutoAid is highly recommended at £37.
    You have to pay and then claim, but payouts are very quick and the cover is very good.
    Covers all vehicles for spouses so 4 vehicles for that price in our household as it coveres the motorbikes as well.
