Breakdown Cover

I have read the long post on this one further down the page and I noticed the Norwich Union deal that seemed to be on last year. I need to get some sort of breakdown cover in place as mine ran out yesterday. Whats the best deal at the moment? I do a lot of mileage and I need a good package really. I have for the last year had a VW breakdown plan which came free with the car. They have quoted me £135.00 for their package for the next two years. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks

    Seen this on ebay, he he, actually its my advert!!

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7978186291&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1

    15% discount on offer to all, might be worth a look. I dont think i could beat your price from VW assist but you never know. Have a look at the ad and if youre interested drop me an email with some details of what level of cover they are offering and i'll see what i can do.

    I was a member of the RAC, and despite never calling them out for 6 years I found my premium had risen to £196. !!!!!! Turpin Wore a mask!!!!.

    The AA offered similar cover for £140, but the cheapest I found was Autonational Rescue who covered two vehicles on their top level 'superservice' deal for just under £100.

    With one vehicle - this is reduced to £63.00 a year, and you get 15 months cover for the price of 12 months! :T

    I have been with autonational for 2 years and found them to be a good service and a reasonable price (as Chris73 said I paid £90 for full cover 2 vehicles with a 15mnth policy for the first year(ish))

    I just want to see if there is anything cheaper out there...

    does anyone know if this offer still applys (NU/RAC half price offer). I think I might phone up and try it when I get chance:
