Give them a call.............

When I was signed up with AutoAid, they refused to recover me after an accident because the vehicle was damaged (only slightly - exhaust hanging off, puncture, and dent in tailgate) and I didn't have any private land to put it on. I now get full RAC cover with Tesco Clubcard Deals.

Hi...I'm trying to find breakdown recovery as an Xmas present for my son but am coming across a few problems... My son does not live with me and I wanted to get a 'policy' to give him Christmas day but RAC, AA, Green Flag etc have said that because I am registering the car in his name and his address the policy could not be sent to me...even though I am paying for it . One of them (can't remember which) said that I can ring for a quote...save the quote..then get him to ring up Christmas eve to confirm the details and he would be covered from then.... the whole point was for it to be a surprise for him to open on Christmas morning
Can anybody tell me if they can think of a way round this? or is it back to the usual boring socks and pants again for Christmas :rolleyes:

I wish the thanks and the quote buttons were further apart !

Somewhat off topic, but what do you get for £168 a year ?

If anyone has insurance with Co-op, they have very good value breakdown cover...

I just paid £4.73 to add the UK & Europe breakdown cover (including unlimited homestart) to my co-op insurance for me and my mum until mid February '09.

I just got RAC cover via http://www.asdafinance.com/breakdown-cover.html
- total price £73.92 - plus it is possible to pay monthly by Direct Debit - I thought this was a good deal.

I'm looking for AA basic recovery cover, the cheapest I can find is with AA online for £29 with some cashback, is that the best/cheapest way?

I got RAC breakdown cover (only the basic £33 one) but topcashback gave me £21 cash back. Therefore making 12 months roadside cover £12. Absolute bargain. That was the cheapest I could find it.
