About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
I was perusing the various breakdown services offers and obviously checking price after Quidco. All 3 main providers have significant cashback.
The cheapest bare-bones (Roadside) is AA @ £9, RAC @ £10 and Green Flag @ £15 (all after Quidco). To be fair, most need more than this and at a minimum add Homestart (many breakdowns are when the car wont start on the drive!).
Adding this starts to bulk the cost up rapidly. I then spotted Green Flag had their top package "Recovery Plus" from £60 with £50 Quidco! In the first instance, AA is £130 for this and RAC £131! So, Green Flag irrespective of Quidco is less than half price anyway.
The top package for all three providers includes four elements;
- Roadside
- At Home
- National Recovery (Tow you anywhere in the UK)
- Onward Travel (incl. hire care, hotel, or alternative transport costs)
After Quidco, the full (non-Europe) packages compare as follows:
- AA: ........................£80 [£130-£50]
- RAC:.......................£76 [£131-£55]
- Green Flag: .............£10+ [£60-£50]; I believe it can vary based on vehicle and postcode
I paid £65 (I have a 3.0 X5 and noticed postcode makes a difference), so YMMV.
Which means I got the top package for £15!! No brainer.
Superb value in my opinion. Yes, Quidco could take a few months, but that is the same for all providers (I have tried all 3 in the past).
Hope this helps some - Top of the range breakdown cover from £10 - which is the cost of the very cheapest most basic service from the others after Quidco!
Edit: Some with newer vehicles (<4 years old) are getting quotes < £60! So, the total cost after Quidco is in single figures (< £10)!

I think the green flag deal is good but you can never 100% rely on cashback.

I was happy with it costing £28 after cashback, but now gutted to see other people are getting cheaper quotes. Hey ho, it's cheaper than changing my car or postcode.
EDIT - mine has tracked okay. You have 14 days to cancel, so if cashback hadn't tracked, I was going to cancel the policy.

Not completely comparable as the AutoAid scheme is pay&claim, rather than Green Flag's free at point of service, but still a good deal.
I have an AutoAid policy and have used the service with no issues and no dramas.

G/F refused cashback for absolutely no reason on my account and there was no comeback even after an appeal to Quidco.
Others may have positive feedback but thought I'd add a warning.
Quidco claim that Green Flag are a 'faster payment' merchant. Mine is 4 months old & still not confirmed. However, quidco don't let you chase it up until it is 6 months old. That's not my idea of fast!
As said, this in total came out @ £65, which is just £5 more than the £60 base price. Less Quidco and all in for £15!
I did notice changing postcode added £5!
£15 for me to be able to call them from anywhere in the country and get a tow for the family to anywhere in the UK. Plus, the use of a hire car or hotel accommodation. Excellent peace of mind.
Why? Well, perhaps because its fraud? Do you vote down copies of Windows because its cheaper to steal it?
20 hours (going by my email confirmations). HTH
so 88p for cover.
HOT!!!!8)
I wouldn't be at all surprised if these companies have a piece of malware that auto checks the renew bow when you close the page. After all. it's 'just good business'.
No it's taking the p*** at best and stealing and fraudulent at worst you c****.
My advice is once you've taken a deal like this, write to them immediately stating you are giving notice to cancel the contract once it has run the annual course. That being unless you wish to have it renewed at the full price.
And send the letter recorded delivery.
Good luck with the cashback boy.
Especially considering I can get cover from £18 a year (including onward journey, hire car etc) from quite a few sites just from doing a money supermarket search.
Not quite sure how people are getting quotes under £60 when the site says recovery plus is available from £60
For £66, you can get all Total SuperService with everything included.
Sorry about the caps.. x

EDIT - btw...£130 for me, so this is not for me...

I believe they can check registered keeper with the DVLA - remember this is vehicle cover not personal, so I guess where the vehicle is registered is considered your home. But I did once push my car the required 1/4 mile or so down the road which qualifies as away from home!

That's a fair point. Once the car is > 10 years old, all providers shoot up the cost. You are then likely better off with Personal (rather than vehicle) cover.
Agreed. I am guessing your car is > 10 years old? All providers shoot up the cost once the car hits 10+ years. Its a bu##er I know. You are likely better off going for personal (rather than vehicle) cover in that case.
