Breakdown Organisations

A very pleasurable, efficient experience

Advantages: user friendly
Disadvantages: none

...bad), so i did. The AA and RAC were the 2 frontrunners. Both offering a very similar range of packages. But as i use Quidco cashback site, the AA cashback was higher, and so i went to look into them at greater detail. I did this all online as i am a bit of WWW addict and so all this was down over the AA.com website. The website is very user friendly and so i was off and running straight away. Some sites you can be looking about for 10-20 minutes ...
...and conditions booklet, and the AA handbook. A well presented package which supplies everything you need to know straight-off. The total cost of my package was around £114 and i managed to get £50 cashback from Quidco. Overall i found the whole transaction and purchase very user friendly and found their communication to be very helpful and informative. I would seriously recommend this service to anyone looking for breakdown cover, especially if getting ...

RAC - Breakdown cover

Advantages: nation wide
Disadvantages: slow, not too helpful

...me to a garage. the RAC claim to fix about 90% of break downs by the roadside. I'm guessing this means 90% of cars break due to a flat battery? Overall not great service but i'm unsure if any of the other companies (AA or greenflag) would have provided a better service. Having paid around £75 in total for my membership to date I feel I would have been better off without this service and simply calling a tow truck whenever my car breaks down. ...

Tell them if you change your car or pay £45 for a callout

Advantages: I do not use Green Flag anymore and will never do so again
Disadvantages: Hidesa fundamental policy requirement in the small print

Green Flag provides a summary of what it thinks are the main points you need to know about the policy but hides in the small print that you are not covered if you change your vehicle. A month or so after changing my car I broke down and found that as I had not informed Green Flag of the vehicle change they wanted £45 for the call out. I had to talk to several different people and pay money over the phone before they would send someone out to help ...
...and phone calls to get an answer. I will never use Green Flag again. In my view I would be forgiven for inferring that Green flag deliberately keep this policy requirement hidden in small print to increase revenue from people at a time when they most need help. ...

Autonational Rescue

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Bad customer care. All callouts seem to take 1+ hours.

...recently had cause to use Autonational Rescue. I had a blow-out on the A10. The tyre spanner gave out and I had to call them out. 5 minutes later, the Police arrived and informed me that I would have to be towed (for a charge of £105). I recalled Autonational, and had a short conversation with an unhelpful lady who told me it could take upto an hour, but then said the truck was 5 minutes away. 15 minutes later, the truck driver called and asked where ...
