rescueMyCar.com

I have just looked on moneysupermarket for the ebst deal for my breakdown cover that is due soon and one is coming up 42.00 for their best platinum cover with a company called rescueMyCar.com

Anyone have a ny recommendations for these, good or bad?

I have not heard of them before so am a bit wary in going with them.

Anyone have any advice?

    Autoaid is £32 for platinum cover (pay & claim).
    They have a very good reputation on this site.

    They may not have come up in your search as they probably don't pay commission to be on those sort of websites.

    It covers any vehicle you drive and covers a married couple.
    For us it does 2 cars and 1 bike so very good value.
    Doesn't cover an unmarried partner though.
  • I've got to say that you're being a little harsh. I purchased my breakdown cover from rescuemycar.com through confused.com last month.

    The 4000 agents operate in the same way as greenflag. they're independants that are called upon in the event of a breakdown.

    rescuemycar.com are under nci who are quite an established brand in the bike market, having looked at their website prior to purchase. they look like they're trying to move in to cars.

    big brands not always best.

    Hi Sarah.
    Has RescueMyCar.com thought about using a 01, 02 or 03 phone number?
    Most people wishing to report a breakdown will be phoning from a mobile phone and 0844 revenue sharing numbers are quite expensive.

    Couple that with their £40. excess per call out, and it is a very expensive organisation, and I bet they don't inform customers it is a premium rate revenue sharing number!

    Although for anyone foolish enough to go with them, the following numbers may help; -

    01423 504689
    01444442571
    0800 7836026
