RAC roadside & homestart £65.98 with £45 quidco = £20.98 for the year ( new customers only)

Hardawan

Does it have only 5 time call out in the whole 1 year?!

Think you would be better off saving your money and putting it towards new car if you are concerned about breaking down that many times

you will get a cooling off cancellation period, check your documents.

deciding on whether to use topcashback instead?

I use AutoAid - autoaidbreakdown.co.uk

It's £42.35 for a year and you have to claim back the fees but these are usually back in your account within weeks, It insures the person, not the car. This means vehicle age, mileage and reliability are irrelevant, plus caravans and trailers will also be towed if attached to your car. Also Free cover for a spouse. Onward transport. Most budget policies only fix the car at the roadside or tow it to a garage. With AutoAid you'll get transport to your destination for up to six people in total (inclusive of the driver).
and includes Home breakdown cover

Used with success each time, also recommended by Martin Lewis @ MSE

I think that if you get to 5 breakdowns in a year you've probably had more than your money's worth, so perhaps a second membership with the AA to cover you for the next few breakdowns wouldn't be entirely inappropriate!

In-laws or use a derelict house.

More cashback (£42.99) at TopCashBack. Better than Quidco's £40 currently.

my cash back is payable today : )

no you have to chose the insure 'vehicle' rather than 'personal' option

thanks i have managed lets hope the cash back tracks now

Trusting Quidco to pay out though. Not sure...

Yes quidco is not trustworthy anymore.

How does this compare to AutoAid which I believe is basically £40?

Edit: apart from being half the price - as in features etc so people looking for breakdown cover and homestart can decide whether to risk it for £20 or get something set at £40
(edited)

Start rescue you will get 5 start service in £70 around - RAC and the AA are far expensive esp for me as I have been with them for 10 yrs but never call

I just took the hit for £65.98 but I don't see anything tracked on my quidco as of yet - even though i went through the site and a bar coming up saying we've tracked it

You need to go through quidco, don't forget to clear your cookies so it tracks and you'll get the £45 as cashback

Rac are shocking when u call them, couldn't locate a chocolate bar in a chocolate factory

Please can someone explain what this quidco means?

Click here for an explanation.

Nationwide's Flexplus account gives free breakdown cover along with loads of other benefits like travel insurance, phone insurance, extended electricals warranty etc. It's £10-a-month but put £2,500 in it and get £6.25 a month interest before tax.

Their pay and claim scheme is a joke.You have to pay the recovery service … Their pay and claim scheme is a joke.You have to pay the recovery service that arrives on the scene upfront. Imagine being stranded without your wallet and cash. I'd like to see how they work around that. Then there's the claim procedure of sending out an invoice to them for reimbursement which could amount to endless problems on its own if you lose or misplace your invoice. Just thought people should know about this before trying to save too much moneyRead lessRead more

who goes out in a car without their wallet or cash? how far away is your toilet, exactly?

it took RAC 6 hours to get to my girlfriend... p**s poor service ,apparently due to cutting back on the the staff on the road and moving call centres with no local knowledge.

Quidco only showing £40 today, could this deal have ended at midnight?

personal anecdote only but i've twice missed out on quidco cashbacks on breakdown recovery over the past few years. now joined nationwide's flexplus as it gives free homestart, phone insurance and european travel for 100 pounds but you can also make 3% on 2.5k which'll give you 60 back, after tax.

​I think they've changed it to worldwide travel now, which makes it slightly better if correct

Arrgh I just signed up

I had my previous cover with RAC. Can I buy it on spouse name to qualify as new customer? :-)
