Ive just bought the £20 cover no problem. I'm not an AA insurance customer.

I've been with the AA for 9months now. Mixed opinions really. Got a dirt cheap price for full package including repair costs. I've used them once in that time and they sent out a third party recovery vehicle, after 4hours! I was in a town centre so didn't expect that. Had a few costly issues with the recovery firm so complained. AA accepted that they fell short of providing a satisfactory service via the third party. The good news was that they paid out in full for the required repair of the breakdown. In summary it paid off this time but I was disappointed with the service.

For the last couple of years I’ve used eversure and I can’t fault them at all. I paid £17.99 for the first year and for this year it was £23.99 for the premium package. That includes onward travel from any where in the uk. Call out From home and unlimited call outs too. I’ve used them on 2 occasions with no issues. Most recently a week ago which only took 30 minutes. Also get an hour to try and fix it at the road.

Great if you're happy to wait 5 hours for recovery

I've personally had a couple of bad experiences with the AA, and have two friends who also have (in 3 of the 4 cases, it was their "top tier" cover too), consequently I literally wouldn't have AA cover at any price.
The most recent incident occurred when my wife's car died completely on the busy slip road from a dual carriageway - the AA app directed her to call their "high risk priority assistance" line, which they hadn't answered after over 30 mins, by which time a family member arrived and dealt with it.
This is cover provided with our bank account (Nationwide) but needless to say I've taken cover from elsewhere and am "downgrading" my account.

Don’t forget AA benefits.
15% off Greene King pubs, inc. Hungry Horse, Farmhouse Inns, Chef and Brewer. Works in conjunction with other offers like bogof, Tesco Clubcard gift cards etc.
Also 40% off Hussle gyms
Up to 15% off car hire at Alamo, National and Enterprise. I recently used this offer and it was cheaper than any other price I could find. Discounts on Ferries.
Discounts off Merlin attractions and theme parks. Up to 50% off IMO car wash (edited)

You can take this out to start on the 26/03/24.

I had both AA and RAC membership years ago when both were members organisations and not businesses .

Now a shadow of there original conceptions and oversubscribed through insurance companies doing inclusive deals with them at knock down prices . Customer service is none existent with both and waiting times for repairs or recovery will only get longer as once they have your money they do not give a damn !

I prefer a policy that covers the driver rather than the vehicle (recovers in any car regardless whether your the driver or a passenger) but that's just me

£40 per year for national recovery.

It's certainly cheap, but surely there's a risk that at the time of when you need the recovery, they won't cover you because you're not an existing AA insurance customer?

Also how do I get the national recovery for £40?

Still worked for me

I've had AA, RAC and GreenFlag. I've found AA to be the best of the bunch.

Fine if you're OK pushing you vehicle 1)4 mile from your house after a failure in the most likely place.

AA are OK. Just be ready for a painful experience when you try to cancel your renewal, they make it as hard as possible, go round & round in circles, I had to get very blunt with them a couple of years ago. (edited)

I had aa cover for years and only every used it as a passenger in someone else's car when it conked out. I don't bother now, if I ever do breakdown you can join the AA on the spot and get recovered. Even at £20 a year, if I don't use it in 4 years then I break even.

Oh and wait till renewal time. Every year its the same dance, renewal price is astronomical and you have to ring to threaten to cancel to get a half decent price.

I’m not an existing customer but gave them a call anyway and still got the deal! At one point the advisor had to put me on hold to ask a manager which code to use but nothing was mentioned about whether I’m an existing customer! Went for UK recovery at £40! Heat added!! Thanks! (edited)

Received all my paper documentation and AA card today.

Signed up and paid 4 hours ago. Selected a start date in a months time but not had any confirmation email yet. Is this normal?

Do you think that they can cancel or decline recovery due to the below / how likely it may happen?

Good to know

Do they support Tesla’s?

Just tried it, £40, they took the money but then instantly had an issue so now having to call AA to work out what's going on!

That's about the time when I jumped ship ! Member from 1971 but saw it going downhill ,moved to RAC but similar problems . Now have towable dolly which any member of the family can use within reasonable distance . Local garage is brilliant . Never let us down on repairs beyond our capability !

I’m not an insurance customer of AA and placed an order over the phone, agents never said anything about needing to be a customer. Paid £20 for the year
