Savings on Breakdown Cover

Just got my AA Renewal quote in for £272.67. Looked at the AA's own website and a new member was being offered the same cover for less! If I went through a cashback site, this would bring it down even further. So phoned the Retention Department as advised and got them down to £157.30, saving £115.37 on the renewal quote. Didn't even really have to haggle, just had to tell them the price I could get elsewhere.

    Will done on the haggle even if it wasn't too hard!

    I have package bank account with nationwide which costs £13/month and has breakdown, mobile and travel insurance. Last callout (and I have had quite a few) it was the AA that came. We've also had to claim on the mobile and recently on the travel so I think it's a good deal.
