    RescueMyCar's prices rocket very rapidly, though - for the same cover as the Nationwide account (full Euro personal cover for two people), they want £180.
    Yes, as and when we are able to drive to Europe. I shall probably upgrade my Nationwide Flex Direct account back to Flex Plus. Meanwhile £28.80 looks like a great deal. Reviews for their clients are encouraging.
    Their UK personal cover for two is £92.
    1 car any driver National cover is £28.80
    Lovely, but let's compare apples with apples. That would be completely useless for many people.

    Really? Not everyone has more than one car and/or require cover for two people to drive any vehicle.

    If that's your situation then it might have helped listing in the requirements in the OP so it was clearer for anyone replying. Nationwide is good for multi cars but wouldn't be such good value for one
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Why ???? I asked for "comments from those who have good / bad experience after a breakdown".

    I did not ask which is cheapest. Whether you have a policy which is cheaper for one, two or twenty cars with European cover and multiple drivers is of no interest to me. 

    I am well aware of cover available via Nationwide. As I said, I previously had Flex Plus @ £13/ month.

    We're looking at renewing with LV (£56) or going with rescuemycar/eversure/autoaid. We are a married couple with a car each - no need for cover for other cars or other people  (I expect our situation is quite common) so "personal" cover looks the best. Any thoughts?
