AA took me from an A road to a motorway services, where he dropped me off (end of his shift apparently) I had to ring them again to get another loader, (there was one in the car park) waited for an hour, he came over, took me to a dealership, they couldn't fix it, then rang them again to lift me home, the first guy drove into the dealership and then drove out again, the second one came, and he said he will fix it... he then borrowed tools from the dealership. couldn't fix it, he then bitched all the way to my house, I will never to use the AA again

I've heard similar with their Relay service.load you up and take you so far then change to another vehicle because they cannot go to far away from their home base.One vehicle was recovered and the owner said it took them 25 hour to get him home from Devon..

I use start rescue personal 2 star cover, which is any vehicle (inc bikes) with nationwide recovery to either home or destination £75, had to use a couple of times for the bike

Yes, very good from their website. About the same cost as Dopey's below if you get the Euro cover. With Dopey's the missus is covered as well though so gone with his. Maybe change again next year!

AutoAid Breakdown Recovery is the best, it covers the person and not the car, you can be in any car, and that included your spouse for free as well, I have used them a few time and its a good service

The renewal premium due is as follows: £59.99 (including Insurance Premium Tax @ 12.00% and service charge of £5.00)

Thanks, Dopey. Went with AutoAid, although cost £75 for the Jag - considering the Jag has never gone wrong that's still taking the Mick! Hope I don't need it!

Just had my AA breakdown renewal quote. Seems a bit steep at £170 for roadside+relay on any vehicle?

Any recommendations? Preferably from a firm that turns up in hours rather than days.

They are a total ripp off these days buddy and try it on all the time now. I was with them for 30 years and i think in that time i only used them about 5 times max and two of those times i bought new batteries off the chap. They were taken over by a big firm a few years ago and since then their prices have hiked and the level of service is **** so i binned them off and went with Green Flag instead and got full cover off them for about £75.

The RAC are just as bad too. Greedy gits. Shop around BUT be careful who you use as the dirt cheap companies are sharks if you read the small print.
