(Free ?) Breakdown Cover

50Twuncle

I need breakdown cover for my 1 year old car - I was covered by RAC for the first year.
I have been offered RAC comprehensive cover for £129 for the next two years - which is tempting but still too much
I read stories in this forum of people using discounts and cashback and end up getting cover for less than zero - ie) Actually getting paid for taking out cover - is this really possible ?
Any comments/advice welcome ....

This article covers the options for getting very cheap cover using cashback sites. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/insurance/roadside-recovery

You could go for autoaid which is £38.

I've just taken out breakdown cover with Green Flag through Quidco. It cost £67 and if the cashback pays out I will get £50 back. The £67 was a good price for the level of cover anyway.

Thanks - so that's £17 for 12 months - that's OK

Provided Quidco pays out, which it will hopefully. You should get an email from Quidco soon after you take the policy out. It contains a link and you need to click on it and put some details in. Make sure you do this or the cashback will not be paid.

Just haggled with the AA as my breakdown cover due dec. For two people covered on one car and motorcycle, got roadside assistance and relay in uk. Knocked it down by nearly half price. Apparently it was going up in price too £177, over my dead body. My husband had to hand the phone to me he got a good deal, but i got one better!

Beware that the cheap cover maybe breakdown assistance at teh side of the road only.
Or a tow to the nearest garage. Does it cover breakdown at home?
