Just got my renewal for roadside relay and as usual a load of .......s.

Quoted me £140 but after bargaining £95 told 'em still too dear so cancelled - lets see what offers come through the post in the next few days :icon_lol:

Yes looked - but not a lot of difference dedicated.

I need roadside relay and it quotes about £85. The basic option of rescue only gets you home from 10 miles. I'm usually much further away. Still think AA will do me a deal.

Ah - didn't see that, as was browsing on phone - cheers, may take option up.

Will just see if AA come crawling back.

I have a basic recovery included in my taxi insurance too

I've been with this lot for a few years - had them out a couple of times, a pretty sound operation. You pay and then claim back from them costs £39.90pa inc home start, recovery etc

£65 a year I pay, breakdown, home start, relay and European cover too.

Paid it since I have had the car. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Looking online it can be had for as low as £30 but still rather stay with AA if possible

I get mine through the Civil Service :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Never found anything else to come close on price or cover.

Prior to that I was with the AA for donkey's years.
Always managed a fair deal. They helped me out a number of times and despite some stories folk will repeat they're OK
