I use Autoaid as recommended on www.Moneysavingexpert.com. Covers the driver, can add a spouse for free. You pay for the recovery and they pay you back. Has lots of good reviews.

be weary of some that offer 'national breakdown cover' as they will only recover and take you to a local garage around where you broke down and not your home address..

In my experience the majority of break down companies use 3rd party entities to attend breakdowns. The last time I had a flat battery back in 2007, my car was under LR assist and they still sent out a third party local breakdown guy. So it can be very hit and miss depending on location of breakdown etc. |

AA and RAC employ their own Patrols and argue that these guys can fix more at the roadside than the contractor firms who are more likely to employ "drivers" who can only recover you to a local garage where you will incur labour charges. You could argue that on something as complex as a FF any roadside job is going to need to go to a garage though!

Even though i get free RAC with barclays, i still go for AA cover. And based on my recent experience the cost is justified.

Likewise - I have free AA with Lloyds bank but pay for RAC.

I have AutoNational breakdown. I had to have them out for a flat battery last week, they we're here within the hour and we're great on the phone. They're full package which includes homestart was only £60ish. I was really suprised with the service considering how cost affective it was. |
