Aa or Rac in this case bigger is better as in quicker arrival times if you do need them , a lot of the smaller firms will subcontract out to firms in the area you have broke down in , if their not busy no problem ! Been with aa for number of years and have used the recovery once , and breakdown once , no complaints

Green Flag, was with them for 20 years. Called out a few times, they use local dedicated garages and I've never waited more than 20 mins for a vehicle to arrive. They also do a second vehicle cover for a little addition. Used the recovery and double journey a few times.

Now with RAC, since 2013, rubbish compared with Green flag. Called out 3 times due to a flat battery, took hour and half each time, changed battery for new and went. Not used since 2015 but I get the top cover for free so stick with it.

Green Flag - efficient and polite call centre staff and with me in a reasonable time unlike the RAC which who failed to turn up after a 6 hour wait with three children in the car! Ended up leaving the keys and getting a lift home with a chum (15 miles)

I insure with the NFU so have basic breakdown cover with the policy, but am also with green flag, have the top cover, not the european, as I have 2 cars have personal cover on top of the cover for the named car,  called out once for a flat tyre, Sunday morning 11am, a hours wait, was happy with that, don't think you can beat piece of mind for £84
