Car Breakdown Discussion

Just had a ridiculous renewal quote from the RAC.  I've been lazy and allowed my policy to auto-renew for a few years, so was probably already paying too much, but the latest renewal was daylight robbery!  Last year £299.99, this years renewal quote £412.99!  I sent them a message saying the quote is far too high and to cancel my policy.  They've come back with a loyalty discount taking my renewal down to £70!  That's more like it!

Please do not use the autoaid breakdown.  They have auto-renewed.  I tried to cancel online, and they have taken half of my money.  They would not reinstate the policy or give me my money.  They are complete charlatans with no sympathy for people..  Please remove the recommendation for this company.

Just had a renewal letter through KIA for my year sportage for RAC roadside assistance advanced £159 for 2 year deal! Sounds reasonable. but I can get full cover through top cashback for £71 a year RAC Complete package . do you experts out there think that's a good deal? Seems so to me

I left RAC for a year but got nervous about how efficient my manufacturer's scheme would be.  I'm especially bothered about punctures at inconvenient times or places - I can't handle one myself now I am 81.  I rang RAC and got them down to £120 for personal service for self and wife. Seems every haggler gets a different deal !  I personally yearn for the old days when everybody paid the same standard price and believe that the current haphazard system should be banned. It's ridiculous that a huge, majority proportion of the price you pay is an "arrangement fee" that goes who knows where. In other words it's the cost of everyone haggling - it's barmy !!!!
