About your quote

1 Prices shown include insurance premiums payable to the insurer(s) and a fee payable under a separate contract between you and Automobile Association Insurance Services Limited (AAIS) for arranging and administering your cover. Please see the terms and conditions for more information.

Private and domestic use only

Please do not buy this cover for any vehicle used for any commercial purpose, such as:

  • Carrying items/people for money
  • Delivery or collection of goods
  • Transporting passengers
  • Carrying equipment, tools or materials
  • Moving vehicles for trade purposes, vehicles used for sporting events, or any combination of private, domestic and commercial use

If you try to use this policy for a vehicle that’s used for commercial purposes, we may not be able to help or may have to charge a service fee.

For any commercial use, you'll need our Business Breakdown Cover.

Breakdown not routine maintenance

This cover provides emergency assistance when a vehicle suffers a sudden or unexpected mechanical or electrical fault that prevents it from being driven or continuing a journey safely.

It does not cover cosmetic, non-emergency, self-induced faults or where we suspect third-party interference. Please do not try to use it as a replacement for routine servicing, maintenance, or repairs, or to cover faults caused by actions or omissions of the driver.

If you try to use this policy for a vehicle that has not been serviced or maintained appropriately, we may not be able to help or may have to charge a service fee.

Roadworthy and road-legal vehicles only

This cover provides assistance for vehicles that are roadworthy and road-legal. It does not cover vehicles that are unsafe, unroadworthy, unlawful, overladen or being used improperly.

Throughout the life of the policy, please ensure that vehicles are serviced annually (or following manufacturers’ guidelines), are maintained in line with manufacturer guidelines, are in good condition and safe to be driven on the road. Please also ensure that vehicles are taxed, insured and have a valid MOT certificate.

If you try to use this policy for a vehicle that’s not roadworthy or road-legal, we will not be able to help you get back on the road.

Repeat call-outs and pre-existing conditions are not covered

Assistance cannot be provided if we have attended your vehicle and you call us out for the same fault within 28 days, unless you can provide proof that a permanent repair has been completed by a garage. Please arrange for a permanent repair to be made following a temporary repair carried out by us.

Cover will not be provided for any known faults that existed before you purchased cover, so please do not try to claim for them. If you try to use this policy for a vehicle with a known fault or still has a temporary repair, we may not be able to help or may have to charge a service fee.

Covered vehicles and drivers

The policy covers vehicles that are up to 3.5 tonnes (3,500kg) in weight and up to 8 foot 3 inches (2.55m) wide.

Please do not use breakdown cover for vehicles that are heavier than 3.5 tonnes or wider than 2.55 metres. Assistance cannot be provided for vehicles that have been vandalised or subject to malicious damage, as these are insured events usually covered by motor insurance.

If you have a vehicle-based policy, then the vehicle registered with the AA is covered for all drivers.

If you change your vehicle, please ensure that you update us promptly.

If you have a personal-based policy (single, joint, family) then a vehicle is covered only if the member is a driver or passenger in that vehicle when it breaks down. Assistance cannot be provided if drivers or passengers are abusive or uncooperative.

Experiencing money worries?

If your current situation is affecting how you manage your finances and you require additional help or support, call us on 0800 262 050.

    Last cpl years I've just bought breakdown cover off Groupon for £29, wasn't expecting much but it included full cover and I'm on a budget.
    Tbf I've had to call them twice for my old car and they've been great, and the renewal offer was £29 again. Not saying it's a bad deal, it's not, just saying what worked for me.

    Try "Start rescue" best buy in Which report and very cheap. TCB on this to. Blue light discount as well as NHS. Someone posted a code for it. Not sure where though. (edited)

    I know nothing's perfect, but I've had a few issues with the AA (and know a few others who have too), I wouldn't take their cover at any price anymore.
    Just for context - I've had another issue in the past but last week, my wife's car completely died (as in, no electrical power let alone mechanical) on the middle lane of a roundabout on a dual carriageway exit (so very busy and potential for fast traffic), the AA app directed her to phone for immediate assistance as she was in a dangerous situation, but the "priority emergency assistance" number she was given wasn't answered for half an hour (in fact, a couple of helpful workmen used their van as a shield and pushed the car to the roadside for her, and a family member went to help her so they gave up on the AA).
    To me, this is inexcusable, they might get high call volumes in bad weather, but if they can't even answer the call within half an hour, they're not investing enough in their infrastructure etc.
    Incidentally, never had a problem with any other breakdown service I've used (mainly Britannia and RAC) - I'm not a "serial complainer"!
    simonspeakeasy's avatar
    A few years ago my (female) partner broke down. AA said they would give her priority as a single female. I forget how many hours it took for them to turn up but it was many . . .
    Just about to take out cover with Green Flag I think.
  3. LinaBell's avatar
    does this only cover to the town/city you live because the price will raise to 89 if i add the national coverage?
    amjad146's avatar
    It will recover you within 3 to 5 miles only.
  4. simonspeakeasy's avatar
    This offer excludes the following:
    - At home
    - National recovery
    - Onward travel
    Er . . . there's not a *whole* lot left!

    I guess they'll try to fix the car and, if that fails, a tow to the nearest garage.
    So if you break down on your way to the airport, this cover may not help you as onward travel is not included. (edited)
    IRONM4N_UK's avatar
    Beware
    They try to take you to a Halfrauds garage.
    I believe AA sold theirs to them.
    Must be getting some kickback for it

    I signed up in September. It takes 6 weeks for the giftcard to come but it does. Its a good deal. You can cancel the auto renew inside your account. Will obviously be £1m for the year in 12 months.
    Mrs.Z's avatar
    I never received my voucher, sadly. I did get an email about it and registered for the Love2Shop voucher but that was the end of it. Whenever I try to submit a ‘contact us’ form, I repeatedly get an error, whether I try on phone or laptop. 
    thanks to this deal, I’ve set a reminder to try and chase it up on the phone!
  7. standforit_'s avatar
    National recovers is £109 a month no thanks
    Delboyplc's avatar
    It's a year not a month!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤦
  8. rayanwarn's avatar
    Just checked topcashback, theyre giving £30 cbk below £89. National recovery and standard comes up at £79 for the year for the vehicle cover.

    40% off breakdown cover packages is only available when you take out a new Membership with At Home, National Recovery or Onward Travel on theAA.com, versus the prices available via theAA.com between 2 November and 19 November 2023.

    The sale starts on 20 November 2023 and ends at 11.59 pm on 6 December 2024. (edited)

    Coming up at £59 or £8 a month for me

    You need to select “vehicle cover” instead of “cover for you”
  10. simat's avatar
    My cover with AA expired a month ago, any way I can become a 'new' customer?
    Backinamo's avatar
    This is car cover. Do you have a partner/parent who can sign up? The car gets covered for all drivers.
  11. Odyssey's avatar
    I pay £17 a month for the full shebang, onward travel, parts and garage cover, it always comes good at some point.

    Recently needed a heater matrix, expansion tank and fluids, bill was £690 but the AA covered £500 of it, paid for itself.
    StaceyQ's avatar
    I had their garage cover before - when I went to garage they initially said they'd cover it then got a call from the garage to say they changed their mind.

    Now I self-cover (savings) and did get the extra garage cover reimbursed.
  12. zarg's avatar
    This doesn't include home start? And I don't see an option to add it.
    simonspeakeasy's avatar
    I think there's an option to add it, but it puts the price right up
  13. AndrewWaddin-33961.57250's avatar
    Am I dumb or is anyone else getting £59?
    rigby44's avatar
    Need to select car rather than person
  14. loofer's avatar
    i got this around same time last year and delayed it to start in Feb. I did have to chase them for the voucher but eventually got it.

    Never used the cover but after 6 months into it they do start contacting you offering you to upgrade with add-ons.
  15. Sweetz_786's avatar
    I was checking out options and opted to change the cover before hitting submit.. despite this.. full payment from credit card was taken.. I've raised a complaint, but has anyone else experienced this at all? I definitely didn't complete the transaction and amended cover level using an android phone.. baffled and now they want £20 to cancel 😡
    TokyoGhoul's avatar
    Sounds like easy money for the AA! Dispute with credit card if you paid with that if AA won't refund. There are other avenues you could take if that doesn't work. Keep us informed as how you get on please
  16. Bazzy's avatar
    Hi All,

    I clicked on the vehicle cover & then At Home - price jumps up to £89 & adding National Recovery the price jumps up to £129! & I presume that only covers one vehicle?

    Sorry to be thick but what does the basic £39 option cover then?

    We have two cars & two drivers - what would be the best option/deal for us & with whom?


    Many Thanks!
    villageidiotdan's avatar
    I think this price may no longer be available.

    We're in a similar position to yourself - 2 people driving 2 vehicles. Personally, from a cost perspective, we couldn't find anyone else that gets close to AutoAid's cost (use topcashback and check groupon etc aren't dong a deal).

    I've been with them for years, had a recent call-out and the service was exemplary so I'd say not to be discouraged by the fact the product utilises a network of 3rd party recovery firms.
  17. amz84uk's avatar
    Is it possible to cancel the membership within 12 months though

    I have always assumed that it’s a 12 month contract or you leave with a penalty.

    EDIT: just seen the post fully - apologies - it does say that you can leave (edited)
    hedgyhog's avatar
    You will need to leave before it ends or you'll be charged a ridiculous amount to continue.

    I thought insurance companies were no longer allowed to offer better offers to "new" customers than existing customers. This is effectively breakdown insurance.
  18. harvey.atkins's avatar
    Strangely, if I ever breakdown. My name suddenly changes to my dad's, strange...
  19. rigby44's avatar
    Good deal thanks, note that if paying monthly it will take them upto 3 months to send you the voucher. Which I am.

    Be careful on renewal as others say, auto renewals should be illegal.
  20. vwblack's avatar
    Is it me? Do you only get the £20 gift card on a £5 monthly spend as to me the £39 annual payments is far cheaper without the card
    dcarrigandc's avatar
    No, it says if you pay £39 you will get the gift card in 6 weeks, ergo, you get the voucher for the £39 choice.
  21. marineville's avatar
    move your bank accoun to nationwide and get 15months for free...

  22. TheGos's avatar
    Shame existing customers have to pay double for same deal...i always argue with them saying if your giving the price to a new customer you can give it to existing customers as your providing the same service...seems to work with aa sky bt etc etc

    Does anyone know how long this offer is valid for? Seems like a good option with car insurance quotes increasing so drastically

    My annual ending next month, can I cancel and rejoin as new customer? Been customer for 5 years but renewal prices are ridiculous..
    Nnñnnnnn's avatar
    Mine ends in 2 days, im trying my luck. It didnt say it recognised me as an existing customer when I signed up as a new one but will have to wait 6 weeks to see if a voucher arrives

    Is The AA OK for electric vehicles? My cover runs out soon so I need to get a new policy.
  34. jimmy_patrick's avatar
    What’s national recovery? If chosen, the price goes up.

  36. villageidiotdan's avatar
    Hmm, I'm torn. Autoaid will be £47 for my wife and I, versus £38 for this. I think Autoaid has better cover on the basis it covers us regardless of what vehicle we're in, and includes cover at home. Anyone have a challenge to my logic pls?
    Shure's avatar
    How are you getting autoaid at £47?
  37. tellyt's avatar
    Does age of the car matter? I've heard some only cover cars less than 10 years old.
    TheStill's avatar
    I don't know officially but I had a 20 year old car and never got questioned. But I suppose if you don't maintain your car and constantly call them then you would likely get refused or face a bumped up premium price.
  38. paniczhrabi's avatar
    I used this deal last year any way around it to use it again this year?
    HellRazer's avatar
    Have your partner or family member purchase it for you. It is vehicle cover so it doesn't matter who is driving when it breaks down.
