AutoAid and homestart max

Having recently received my renewal from VW Assistance and having decided it's about time I looked around for alternatives, it seems that AutoAid would be a very good way to go.

I was wondering, though, if anyone has had any experience of their maximum £65 charge being applied on homestart assistance.

I have no idea whether or not that's likely to cover most eventualities on the homestart front???

    It should cover the cost of recovery to a local garage.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.

    £65 should be enough for a call out and a quick repair. If it can't be fixed you will be transported and you can reclaim all the costs for this.
