    Right - The AA wouldn't budge under £377.69 (me & two sons), up from £323.50 last year, so I guess I'll move on.
    I think I'll go for the site-recommended AutoAid.

    Why not let cover end, then get one son to be the new member with you 2 added.
    Then next year the other son does it.
    Thats what we do.
    As of today £162.98 for four people, Home, Relay, National and onward travel.

    i just spoke to someone at AutoAid (after 17 mins of piped music - she said 2 staff had been sent home sick today) and I can't have my sons on my policy, so we'd need separate ones.
    Three are still half the price of the AA one, though.

    That's an interesting revolving door approach!
    I did give the AA the option not to fleece me, but I've signed up with AutoAid.

    And is exactly what we have done this year with the RACwhich worked well as came in after cashback from TCB at around £110 with three free MOTs thrown in.
