AA European Travel Kit

THE LONGEST AA RECOVERY IN HISTORY?

Advantages: Extremely efficient. Amazing Cover. Very Good Value
Disadvantages: In my case and circumstances - NONE!

, that you probably would not think about taking cover out for. There are probably cheaper options available; plenty of organisations, motoring and otherwise offer European breakdown insurance. However, having had to call on the excellent services of the AA in this case, I would tend to view that £115.00 as offering excellent value for money. After all, think for a moment about the cost and logistics of recovering my car over 1150 miles from the far east of Europe. I am absolutely sure that, once again, as in the case with the travel insurance, the total cost of all this would have been far in excess of £1500. I am hoping that you will not have formed the opinion that this review is "Off Topic", as the category covers the AA in the broadest terms, and therefore I felt it appropriate enough to post my review of the AA European Breakdown ...

Review of AA

The lovely Mr AA man.

Advantages: quick response, good customer service, good communcation, fix a lot of breakdowns
Disadvantages: some of the deals are quite expensive

The AA pride themselves on being the UK's "number one breakdown provider". They provide a 24 hour recovery service for their members and there are different levels of cover available.

On top of this my brothers car had broken down several times in the country lanes locally and I decided that it was a sign for me to start being sensible! Being a poor student with hardly a penny to my name I did look around at all the various breakdown companies to try and find the best deal. The AA ...

Review of AA

AA ....... Absolutely Awful .

Advantages: you decide
Disadvantages: again , draw your own conclusions ...

Almost exactly a year ago we had occasion to use , for the first time in our five years of membership , the services of the AA . We had been on our way to Portsmouth Passenger Ferry Terminal for our pre booked trip across the Channel to Caen on one of our regular visits to our house in Western Brittany . We were trundling along the A34 in our Ford van , making good time , and looking forward to our trip , when there was a sudden loud bang . The passenger side of the vehicle dropped and my husband lost all control of the vehicle as it slewed sideways out of the centre lane , then across the inside lane and a joining slip road with upcoming traffic . How the lorry coming up to our left managed to miss us , or we him , I will never know , but eventually we came to rest suddenly and jarringly on the soft verge about two thirds ...
