Car Breakdown Discussion

Hi,
I have just been looking various breakdown websites and cashback sites to try and find some cheap breakdown cover.
RAC are currently offering a £25 fuel card on selected policies. A single membership has been quoted at £39.99, but with the £25 fuel card not a bad price at all!!

Have a look at the rac again, but go through topcashback.com and see the cashbak reward you would recieve..... you might ending up getting (effectively) free cover!

Hi
My RAC renewal has come through. I only have basic roadside cover and they are quoting me just over £50. However, my car is 13 years old, so this limits my options to go elsewhere - can anyone suggest an alternative - I don't really want to go down the route of Gem or Autoaid (ie: paying and reclaiming).
Many thanks0 -
No idea if there any good or not but have been mulling a few options at the moment and Kwik fit breakdown insurance seem pretty cheap,maybe worth trying them for a quote...0

This is an accident recovery service only and not breakdown cover0 -
And it won't be free, there'll be a claim mangement company involved, and charging to someones insurance where they can.0

Amongst my Tesco clubcard vouchers received a few weeks ago was one for '40% off on RAC breakdown cover'. Offer valid until 31/12/12.
I decided to use it, that is, until I read the 'small print' on the back of the voucher.
Who wrote this?
" Discount on single personal based cover with payment on a continuous annual basis for the first year of membership only."
And " Excludes Roadside."
I didn't use it. This is voucher, to me, is worthless.
