Hi, am looking for a good offer on Breakdown cover (Home start and Roadside assistance) on my car, which is more than 10 years old.

So far have found Topcashback offering £30.90 cashback on RAC (£68 for Home and Roadside) - making it about £37.10.

Any other thoughts?

Many thanks!

    Just found this provider - that MIDDLE option (£35.95) looks excellent (no cashback of course)

    - but I wonder if that £35 EXCESS they mention for the £15.95 policy (their basic one) also applies...will phone them tomorrow...

    Basic packs looks poor value for money...

    So i callout and your already onto a loser...
    And limited to a max or 25 miles? Brilliant.

    0844 helpline so you pay them to call them.



    I couldnt be bothered looking for the terms & conditions, They should be clearly visible before
    i am allowed to buy the product, Not after i have spent ages inputting my details.

    I phoned "2gether", and they advised the middle option (£35.95) has now changed from 4 call-outs per year to "Unlimited".

    Excellent young lady (Katrina) on the phone, who made the process very painless.

    They also have a freephone number and normal (not non-geo) landline number for breakdowns.

    Their £35.95 policy also includes "recovery" (distance is not limited, it's national) in addition to "roadside".

    Have decided to join them - will see how they perform.

    P.S. and the £35 excess only applies to the basic package (£15.95 one).
