Or a car which needs rescuing every month.

I pay less than that for my insurance which includes RAC Road Rescue (but not home cover, as I don't need it).

No need to pay more than £60 a year for something you will probably never use.

I'm sure mine renews at £100-150ish. Are you sure you've not got any ludicrous add-ons or insurance or something? Because for basic breakdown cover that's very expensive.

I paid £150 odd for personal cover with recovery, which I thought was steep, but I like being covered in/on any car or 'bike (a puncture is pretty likely on a motorbike) and I want proper recovery home, not taking to a garage if they are open.

I don't bother with homestart. If I can't start it on the drive myself with jump leads & a battery charger, then the last thing I want is someone to get it running so I can be stranded somewhere when it won't start to come home…..

Mine was £144 they sent out renewal for 160 but I rang them and matched last years renewal includes Home start. We also have RAC as comes with our service and MOT for free. Dont really need AA but hubby insists on it.

Tyvm for all the swift and useful replies.

The AA customer service dept are adamant this is correct pricing and they sent appropriate notice. Obviously I have immediately cancelled my subscription and will be getting the same service as a new bank account extra.

One final request, any thoughts on a possible route for recompense, though it seems unlikely to me.

Much appreciate your help, NM

You've established you were paying way over what many others do, and have done the smart thing by taking your business elsewhere. Put it down to experience and never ever accept automatic renewals on anything without shopping around first.
