Breakdown cover

Options
Anyone know any good offers on breakdown cover at the minute?

I really should get some sorted as planning a lot more distance travelling in the next 12 months. Usually only really drive local to home and know plenty of people who could tow me back if anything drastic happened! :beer:

    do you have a tescos/asda type card? they use to do good deals on breakdown cover (i get mine with my insurance so you could try them)
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly


    I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right

    check out martins tips - Cash back is always the best way for breakdown cover, i got my RAC for free last year with an rpoints cashback bonus of £30 which was more than my annual cover cost!

    thats not available this year, but the AA one on now is less than a tenner!!
    It only takes a second to say 'Thanks, you just saved me a few quid!'

    I like the look of Autoaid - and would go with them if I didn't have cover that was provided as part of the warranty package with my car.

    Tesco Clubcard points. 4x face value as a clubcard deal so £30 worth of vouchers gets you £120 worth of cover with the RAC.

    Hi - just a thought but cheapest is not always best! Just tried to join the AA using a special promotion and they took the money by Direct Debit and didn't send any membership details through. When I tried to chase they couldn't find any record even though I had a membership number and they had actually taken the money. After they refused to help I got a refund under the Direct Debit Guarantee Scheme (full marks to RBS One Account for the way they processed this) and I have now joined the RAC. Personally I would avoid the AA at all costs at the moment as they seem to have admin problems and without doubt the worst customer service team I have ever experienced. You don't want to be stuck by the side of the road only to find they don't believe you're a member!
