Best deals on car recovery?

deefadog

I am with AA and pay £44 a year, are there better deals out there with other companies?

Thanks

Hello deefadog

I'll move your thread over to the 'Motoring & Public Transport' board, where it should get more views and responses.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].

I've just changed to Autoaid.
Gem wanted £72 for the same cover.
I've got three cars and it covers me in whatever I drive, even the 32 year old one!
No web site so call them on 01277 235500. They're very friendly too!

Hi deefadog,

Have a look on the main site at Martins article on roadside recovery services.

Thanks all, excellent as usuall!!!!!

Auto aid looks top choice, but apart from the £32 a year what do you pay for when you break down and how do you claim it back - i am a little lost on this part of it!

Thanks again

You organise a local recovery agent - and pay them
or you phone Autoaid - who will organise a local recovery agent - and you still pay them.

Then contact Auto-aid - who will send you a cheque.

The local recovery agents always take credit card, so unless you are likely to have no available credit, Auto Aid is the best option. They always refund by return post - i.e. within a week from making the claim - so you can pay the credit card off when the bill arrives.

The actual amount you have to pay depends on what happens - we were recovered from Monmouth to Leicestershire and the bill was quite large (£328)!
