Hi All,

As per the title really, who do you have a policy with?

Roadside assistance, Home start and Recovery [i.e. they take you/your car to a given location], I presume, are pretty much a must these days.

Mine is up for renewal later this month, always good to shop around. Do we have any favourites within the forum? Who are you with and do you recommend them?

Autoaid £37 for Driver & Spouse.

www.moneysavingexpert.com has a nice section on how to have Tesco club card points bring AA or RAC cover down to about £20 or something.


And if you do cashbacks - AA cover is £7. RAC £8.

RAC, because I could only think of them when my old MX5 HG blew

Haven't changed because I'm too lazy.

Green Flag ....

Costs me around £100 a year to cover 3 cars, 2 bikes ... and the wife

As far as I am aware they are the only organisation that will recover a bike after an accident without claiming the cost against your insurance.

Thanks for the responses thus far, keep them coming please!

Also it worth ensuring that the recovery firm are willing to send out a flatbed, as I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that S2000's cannot be towed and need to be transported on flatbed [this came up when someone on the forum broke down not so long ago.. but is it true or justa myth?]
