Breakdown Cover

My Autoaid breakdown cover is about to expire and I was wondering if there are any deals out there at the moment. I don't mind paying a little more if there are any offers with the RAC or AA.

Thanks.

    Is there a problem with Autoaid?

    No but sometimes you can get good offers with the RAC and the AA.

    I paid £150 for four of us with the AA, personal breakdown/recovery, then got £50 cashback. (£100 for 4) It was £100 with £40 cashback for two of us last year, (£60 for two) so an even better deal. First time I actually used them was this year though, and they recovered me with no issue, as the engine was making a noise I didn't like, and they couldn't decide what it was either, so they brought me home.

    RAC was a similar price thinking about it.

    Be careful you are comparing like with like.
    The really cheap AA/RAC offers are often basic roadside cover.
    Autoaid is includes recovery, at home (up to a limit) and onward travel.

    You might not need all that but I'm just pointing out you should be aware of what you are buying as the really cheap ones are just roadside, which may or may not be fine for your cirucmstances.
