Roadside Recovery: AutoAid Feedback

MarkyMarkD

I have re-joined Auto Aid this week, as my car is now 3 years old and out of manufacturer's warranty (and breakdown cover). I'm very happy to be back with them too.

i've just had my renewal through and it says the price is £34???

i'm not aware of any discount for renewing members? anyone else had the same?

Yes, I renewed mine in August and was suprised it was £34 and not £36.

I've definitely been charged £36 for my new policy.

So it looks like the reneway price is currently slightly lower that the price for new customers.
For £2 I wouldn't worry about it too much.
I don't think they'll send the balliffs round

just renewed and it is £34!!! nice one.......it's cheap enough anyway but a further £2 off for renewing customers is a bonus!!:beer:

Thanks to Martin's advice I have been with Autoaid for about 3 years. Only had to use them once recently. They were quick and reimbursement was also quick. No problems at all.

Only use reputable recovery services.
Get Auto-aid to arrange the recovery service if necessary.
If the recovery guy won't give you a receipt - dont give them any money.

Note also that most reputable recovery services will be required to charge you VAT. As such, they must provide you with a fully compliant VAT invoice. If they don't report them to HMRC - the chances are they are not fully declaring that VAT they are collecting.

Just had my AA renewal form - over £200!

Obvioulsy we will now be transferring over to autoaid.

Is there a limit to the number of call outs in a year?

We haven't had one im over 5 years - touch wood - so that is close to £1000 to the very very nice men for nowt!
