Breakdown cover increasing

Perfectly understandable reaction.
AutoAid have a very good record of paying out very quickly.
I have been reading posts about Autoaid and checked their website too. £37 per annum for the services they are offering is very cheap really. I am with AA at the moment but my renewal date is next week. I am thinking of going to Autoaid but the only thing that I am not sure is that Autoaid has limited the Home start to £65 on callout and labour. This means that i have to pay ou of my pocket in case the charges for callout exceed that (I assume it will be substantial amount for home callouts).
Can you advise urgently?0 -
Its worth exploiting the Tesco miswording for Breakdown cover at the moment if you are looking at either covering 2 cars, or want a personal breakdown cover.:
If you check page 8 of the T's and C's of Tesco's (Green Flag ) Breakdown policy, you will see that the definition of "insured vehicle" is
"Insured Vehicle: any vehicle we have agreed to cover and any vehicle you or your spouse/
partner are travelling in, provided it complies with the vehicle specifications described in
General Condition 10. "
This effectively give a Personal Cover, not a vehicle specific cover, saving over £100 on a Green Flag, 2 person policy!
Tesco are looking at changing the wording on this, so act quickly.
If you have a policy already and paid an additional premium of £40, then I would consider contacting Tesco Finance to ask why, when without the additional premimium, youre already covered?

Following protracted discussion with Tesco Finance, they have now refunded my premium, meaning I have the top level of cover for both our cars for £0 :j0
