AA Car Insurance
So, Iv'e been withh AA car insurance for the last 2 years as they have been the cheapest, my automatic renewal notice came through at £326 with £500 excesses (some £75 more than last year.)
I decided to cancel the auto renewal on line but the hoops to jump through on line were just so frustrating I gave up (even though I consider I'm reasonably computer savvy at 75yo) and phoned them to get them to do it, got the usual phone delays and complicated messages before being able to speak to a human.
After saying I was cancelling we got into the conversation and after some 25 minutes came to an agreement that my insurance would be upgraded from Gold to Platinum at a cost of £199 and £200 excess.
Funny old world aint it😊

Hi @ukoldgit and welcome to MSE
It would be worth you reading the main site article discussing UK Breakdown Cover. You may find it even cheaper :)

The OP is discussing Motor Insurance, specifically AA's Gold & Platinum levels of cover.
Neither of these include breakdown cover, so not sure of what relevance the linked article would be?
Good deal-haggling from OP tho'.
