I am looking at taking out the roadside policy with the RAC for £34.50 for the year. It says that if they can’t fix your vehicle at the roadside they will tow you to the nearest approved garage. My question is…. do they fix your car for free or do you get a big bill…

I need to buy breakdown recovery, going for either The AA or RAC, but I’m confused as to which cover I should get? Is it practical to go for the most basic option of just getting roadside assistance when I breakdown or should I be going for all the added options too? Really want to…

check this one: http://www.simplebreakdowncover.co.uk
not only do they list companies like many sites around but there is also a search engine which compares lots of covers. they give you the exact premium you will have to pay and do not list policies that you can’t buy (i.e. your car is to old).

Many insurance companies provide a cheaper breakdown cover through themselves. A lot of them use Green Flag as this system utilises local breakdown recovery firms, therefore the cost is cheaper for a call-out. However cars of certain types and vintage may or may not be covered. So I would suggest that (a) you shop around, and (b) that you contact your insurance company too see if they offer a good deal on your particular vehicle.

AA is Alcoholic’s Anonymous. You mean AAA, or Triple A I’m sure.
Actually none of them will allow very many calls in a short time period, they all say something about "Not to be used as a substitute for maintaining your vehicle."
For the most part, all they will do is tow you to your mechanic, or give you a jump.

unfortunately you get what you pay for, from my own experience with the aa i find that they are able to tell you what the problem is with your car but wont fix it but they will bring your car to the nearest garage where you will get a nice big bill, so if i were you i would try rac

There are several companies that will quote for breakdown insurance (and some insurance companies offer it as an optional extra on their own policies at a reasonable price) BUT you had better read the wording as most will insist that the vehicle is kept in a roadworthy condition and serviced according to manufacturer’s guidelines. There may also be a limit on the number of times you can use the service. Policies also tend to limit the length of time work can be done at the roadside.
If you think your car will breakdown a lot I would certainly recommend the AA.
