nightwish Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I would'nt go with either go with Green Flag I have been with them for 10 years and the longest I have had to wait is about an hour as they use local garages. When I had AA it was 4 hours wait or longer. They once came out around xmas time said Oh u have a right problem there and then just drove away FANTASTIC just what you need! I cant comment on RAC as I havnt used them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sTaGeWaLkEr Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 They once came out around xmas time said Oh u have a right problem there and then just drove away. Mental pictures! I've been with the AA for a couple of years. I was previously with Green flag and RAC. To be honest, IMO, they're all much of a muchness. All I would say is to make sure you get the appropriate level of cover, you don't want to get caught out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaks Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 The RAC are off-shoring their call centre. I'm not being funny but if I had broken down I wouldn't be keen on the idea of explaining to someone in India where I was.... Had no problems with the AA when I have called them out.

borninsheffield Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I am with AA and had to user them 4 times. Spot on every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyannie Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 just beware which level cover you pick...the cheapest one for the aa doesnt cover you if you are within a mile of your home address, which isnt much good when the car wont start on the drive! I am with britannia (you have to be a csma member but you could check if you qualify) and they are alot cheaper than both the aa and rac for a better level of cover.

Joanl Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 With the AA for a few years now since buying a subscription as a Christmas present. Up graded to include relay and have used them several times. Once on way back from Selby and called into Meadowhall.....broke down and finished up on the low loader, all the way back to Bournemouth and with the budgie in his cage on my lap. We don't mention Meadowhall any more in this house:hihi: couldn't fault the AA though. Had to do it in three stages and didn't have to wait for the next driver to turn up once. They were there waiting. Best Christmas present I ever bought IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaks Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 the cheapest one for the aa doesnt cover you if you are within a mile of your home address They say so but I had to call them out when I was at the bottom of my road and they still came out. Maybe it would have been different if I was directly outside my house though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanl Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Don't they still do the "Homestart" package then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffystuff Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I am with britannia (you have to be a csma member but you could check if you qualify) and they are alot cheaper than both the aa and rac for a better level of cover. I would second that. I have been with Brittania rescue for about 10 years and on the odd occasion I have used them, they have been great. Try going on moneysupermarket.com and compare the various policies available as there are quite a few:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
