Can someone please help. I'm currently looking at breakdown cover through AXA and AutoAid. AXA is £35/annum and Autoaid £54/annum. Which one would everyone recommend? Or is there a better company around those prices?

Thanks In Advance.

EDITED - I have already checked Trust Pilot and review websites so am looking for people's own experiences with these companies recently.

    Different cover between the two. Autoaid is personal cover and for that price Axa will be vehicle cover (although I get £30 for that). So Autoaid is relatively cheap for what you get but they don't do the slightly lower level of cover that Axa do.

    The problem with the AXA trust pilot is it covers all of AXA Assistance so home insurance, travel insurance, car insurance etc. So doesnt seem to be very specific for breakdown cover.

    Understand your trying to help but I started this thread with the intention of getting other peoples experiences with these companies not just trustpilot review sites which I visited before starting this thread. :money:

    OP everyone's experiences is different, coverage may be different in locality as well problems encountered. like any insurance research it yourself as we don't what your personal tastes are. Some put price before quality for example.

    Sorry no experience of AXA or AutoAid. But have you considered Startrescue? Been with them for donkeys years and amongst the cheapest, if not the cheapest. On the few times i've had to call them out, no issues at all, recovery vehicle arrived within 30 mins & car was fixed promptly. They're also a Which? recommended provider.
