Van Road Rescue

kosial

Hi there,


does anyone know about any good (I mean cheap) company that would provide a road rescue insurance for my van? All the companies mentioned on the MSE website do not insure vans.

thanks for any help.

Hi

I was 'stung' by the AA year back, thought I was covered for my Transit for personal use but ended up having to pay extra £50 PLUS a call out charge! Anyway I went with AutoAid, well cheaper that AA/RAC used once and no problem what so ever

Thanks Scottishsapper, will check them, I've just noticed a little sticker on my van's window, silly me, and it say on it GREENFLAG ?!? will check them too... but will probably follow your advise about AutoAid, as they were checked by you, anyway, thank you.
