Breakdown cover.

POSTED BY: Broxy 4 months, 3 weeks ago

RAC are trying to shaft me with a renewal of nigh on £180 and I have never used them in 7 years.
What I need is a joint policy for me and my wife consisting of
Roadside assistance
Home
Recovery
Onward travel.

Rep left for your help.

try money supermarket and the like - i used money supermarket and got all the above for £50 with first breakdown. Not used them though so cant comment on how quick they are etc, but they do provide me with onward travel, recovery, roadside assistance but not the home one - you have to be a mile away.

Tried that and they did offer me a discount to £145 but still feel i'm being shafted.
Found a firm called Gem Motoring Assist who can do what I want for £82 which isn't too bad at all.

I've just joined the RAC through Quidco so I'm paying £72 ish for recovery, not home start and I get £40 back.
So, £32?
I'm happy.

I've just done mine through Tesco Clubcard deals, I have joint cover, roadside, recovery, & home for about £49 in vouchers so I've not actually paid any cash out for it.

Does anyone know if i let my existing AA membership lapse, how soon can it be that i can apply again as a new customer. The renewal price they quoted me is a lot more then it would be for a new customer.
