johnphilip Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 I pay around £100 a year with direct line. Includes. Home start, the wife out on her. Own Also either of us in another person's car and they had no breakdown cover we are covered. With that. Cars are to complicated and i am to old to mess about with them now.

marsh man Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 Mine is about £60 , each year when my car insurance is due I take the introductory offer from either the AA , R A C or whoever I insure with , this is for roadside assistance and I pay the extra for get you back home service from wherever you are , only ever called the AA once when my battery was flat on a Sunday afternoon in North Walsham , they jumped started it and I managed to get back home o k , still it is peace of mind even if you never need to call them out .

TOPGUN749 Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 15 months of RAC recovery personal membership in any vehicle including my motorbike for £72. Not needed them for 21 years tho so they have had about £1200 in that time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WE are roughly the same its the drivers that are covered no the cars , but its green flag we have threw direct line so maybe they own it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shot? Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Just renewed again with AA. I get personal cover in any car with roadside assistance and home start. Paid £79 and been with them 53 years.😲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobba Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 The AA renewal is often a farce. A con to get more money from you. Over the years the renewal premium has always been significantly higher than the previous year so weeks before renewal I keep applying on line as a newcomer and look for offers and, surprise surprise, it is significantly lower than my renewal offer. So I ring them and say match it or I will take out as a new member and let the existing one lapse. Down comes the premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 It's cheap compared to the cost of breaking down and not having any breakdown cover. A family member broke down in his van on tha M40 and was charged £750 to be towed off by a tow truck. That's just towed off nothing else.

This, with RAC for £80.98. I do try to alternate between RAC and AA but got lazy last year and stayed with RAC and it went up by about £8 I think.

Wymondley Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Sorry for your loss, understandable you weren't in a position to check on the cost. I suppose you could try speaking to them, otherwise I think you're stuck with the it until renewal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
