Full cover apart from abroad. Well I don't go abroad.
Used once in 10 years. They were brill at keeping us informed.
Did a quick google and they seem ok, just need to double check my bike is covered in case of puncture? picking up anothercar from dealer Saturday and it comes with 1 years breakdown cover so only need to cover bike at the moment.
With AA to cover present car and bike till 17th, didn`t auto renew and they won`t stop ringing me to renew, I ignore the calls but they must be desperate!

Always used Green Flag through the Caravan and Motorhome Club. We get cover for 2 journeys if the car cant be fixed. Cover for any car registered at our property too. (currently 4 as I have sold a couple!) I pay about 100.00 PA I think. They have recovered me and the caravan from Devon before now 252 miles with a 9 month old Mondeo with a broken injector pump. And from the lakes with a Galaxy and caravan.

just noticed RAC are absolutely diddling me.

TRIED to call them on their cancellation line, all of a sudden they can barely hear me... funny that.

So I went with emergency assist today, £35 personal cover with an excess of £30 call out, excess is a good way to lower costs and only pay if you call them out!
