We've had this discussion several times and I'll only say "Autoaid", and your legally recognized partner is covered too.

Me and the wife any car we are driving, national recovery! Thankfully never had to use them. So, in effect: 11 yr old Golf 20 yr old Rover 64 yr old Sunbeam all covered. I think that there is a bit of a price hike this year though from £40 to £60, still a bargain.

Ive bookmarked Autoaid to check on next renewal. Has anyone actually used their services on a breakdown?

Yes it does Richard. I've been with them for a couple of years but never had to use them. This is what they emailed to me:
"AutoAid Breakdown Recovery Insurance covers someone requiring cover for themselves and their legal spouse, civil partner or common law spouse to drive any vehicle, as defined in the Policy Document, for emergency assistance at the side of the road to start the vehicle, recovery of your vehicle and passengers to your destination, overnight hotel accommodation only for one night for yourself and up to 5 passengers, emergency assistance at your home address or within one mile of your home address, cover for attached caravan/small trailer at the time of breakdown and recovery of vehicle following theft/vandalism." However vans for business use are excluded so you best make specific enquiries for your van if you want cover for it too. |

I've recently re-joined the RAC. £120 for 15 months personal cover for me and my wife.
Green flag won't bother with you if the car is over 15 years old, at least with personal cover. My renewal premium went to over £400 once I'd added on my ZT and another classic. I phoned Autoaid to check the age limit on their cover and although they said there wasn't, the service over the phone was very laid back and didn't inspire me with much confidence should I have a breakdown. I had a poor experience with the AA a few years back so wanted to avoid them. I had recovery from Greenflag last year, and I've already used my RAC cover. Both times I was attended by a Westbourne breakdown truck. |
