RAC cover for 9.99

All,
RAC basic cover is 29.99 and now quidco is offering £21 that means 8.99 in total which is not a bad deal.
MSEs would remember few days ago quidco was offering £20 so better than ever.

    I am already a member thought I would ring up for best price, we have a 20% no call out discount but we have just bought a new car that has 3 Years AA cover but as we have had a good service from the RAC we would like to keep the option of them but at a lower cost and a single person.

    They quoted me £120 as best deal and thats £14 more than the online price not including any Quidco cash back.

    You would think they would do a better deal for a current long standing member who has not even called them out in the last two years.

    I think I will use online and Quidco when the current one has run out at the end of August.

    Why would you want to pay for RAC cover when you have free AA for 3 years even if you do like the RAC?

    I did this in January and the £20 from quidco was declined. So beware - dont try it unless you are willing to pay the full £29.99.

    Peace of mind really, having not used the AA and have had good service from the RAC in the past.

    Nothing wrong with having two people fixing it at the same time, would be a good test on who gets there first, I don't think the AA provided all the options that the RAC do and that we currently have.

    is it 29.99 for the year?? i'm so confused....

    why would someone be paying £120 (especially as they already have AA cover...thats crazy!! waste of money!) when they could get it for £29.99??

    Please explain!

  • The difference is level of service. with higher one u will be provided car etc for onward journey and home start etc. designed for old car / those who used extensivly.
    But I may be wrong

    Potty, keep an eye on your quidco tracking as mine showed it was tracking for about a month and then showed as being declined.
