We are looking to cover a 3 year old Mercedes and although the AA are more expensive they are known and I notice that they offer parts and garage cover for another £80 per year.  Can make 4 claims per year up to £535 per claim.  Am I missing something as that seems quite good for us.

Cover is coming out at £204 per year for a car worth £45k.

    Upto £535 per claim....  LOTS of items will cost far more than that. Seems like a low figure.

    I agree but in one claim you have more than the premium of £70 back.
