Bank account Recommendations please??

Options
Hi

So I have a question and am very curious to get your thoughts/suggestions on this.

I currently have an additions account with Barclays but am thinking of moving back but would like the same types of insurances (i.e. breakdown, card, travel, mobile etc etc), I know I can go and get these insurances seperately but they do all add to up.

So what alternative bank account are out there?

    just remember these wee xtra insurances you get free arent as comprehensive as the ones you would normally buy, thus you get them free
    Promo codes are never always cheaper..... isnt that right EuropCar?

    I second this and also they will pro rata reimbursement of any claims with existing insurances e.g. house contents and have excesses that can render them less effective.

    Don't know how much you pay on additions these days but you may find cheaper ways of achieving the same or better.
