Little to choose between them in terms of service.

As regards price have a look at the MSE article above."If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools"

AutoAid! Brilliant cover.0

Autoaid covers you and your partner for any car you are driving.
£37 covers roadside assistance, home start and relay to get you and up to 5 passengers home.
No other company offers such good value.0 -
I do not take cover out however i am insured through my bank, LLoyds are insured with AA if you have a Silver Account or upwards. Maybe worth checking if you have it already with your bank?Better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot.0

Currently you can get RAC personal cover and recovery for £79.99 on line which also has a £50 fuel card, making the net cost £29.99, (or £40 cashback through quidco, but apparently it won't allow both!)I am a mortgage adviser.You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Take care with B/down cover that comes with your Bank Account.
My son relied on this with his Nat. West account, or at least he did till I read the small print. The bank's provider is Green flag and on this deal he gets:
One hour's work for a roadside fix which if it can't be done, a tow to a garage of GF's choice, (Probably the GF trucks home base), or a tow to somewhere else no more than 10 miles away.
So a bank funded breakdown gives the Hobsons choice of a fix at a garage you don't know, at an unknown cost which is possibly 100's of miles from your home, or a tow home at a cost of heaven knows what the moment it exceeds 10 miles
As a Caravanner I'm with GF myself, but in the event of a breakdown the Banks GF cover is so shallow it would cause more problems than it solves0 -

Must admit, I am currently with Barclays Additions for RAC cover (half price as staff account!) and I think this has changed, I am sure it did not use to be only 10 miles, that is pretty useless.I am a mortgage adviser.You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

According to the press, most of the banks have recently been 'Adjusting' the levels of cover that come with a fee based Current Account
If you are relying on any of these, be Breakdown, Travel, Store Discounts etc.
CHECK what you are getting0
