Post by: dew1911 on June 20, 2006, 09:53:31: AA are fair advertsing the Ã‚Â£39 worth a try.

Post by: Bob696 on June 20, 2006, 10:39:31: Britania are pretty much the same price but that is for the delux personal cover which includes relief driver, homestart, euro cover, hotel bills etc AND covers us in any car/bike we are in/on even if we are only passengers :shock: (euro cover is for only one specified car mind you)

Post by: blackbob on June 20, 2006, 11:05:06: the AA Ã‚Â£39 is for cars under 6 years old
rac, green flag,aa are all about the same
aa and green flag are vehicle based
rac is person based

Post by: Henry Webster on June 20, 2006, 11:13:21: I've been very happy with RAC been with them for years. Have a refreshing attitude to recovery - if I tell them I need a truck, they don't send the chap with a little van out first!

Post by: strapping young lad on June 20, 2006, 13:43:22: when i was on the m4 i think it was an hour cos the truck was down in barry and it was international day (wales v south africa)

but previous to that the disco broke down in work so i told them when to be here (after work) and lo and behold they were)

its an investment you may never use but i bet as soon as you cancel... you car will break!

I just switched to these guys as well - about Ã‚Â£70 for two people, whatever we're driving and full home start service, and they paid up in a week after being called when SWMBOs exhaust fell off.

Post by: the loon on June 20, 2006, 21:32:57: joined britania at the begining of the year and havent had a need to use them yet (touches wood crosses fingers etc etc)
Had AA for 3 years before and they where rubbish.
used the AA a few times and out of 6 call outs over a coupleof years they where resonable (not brilliant but did the job) had another call out where the guy didnt have a clue (water in distributor cap - solved with WD40 by me after the AA muppet had been fidling on for over an hour) but the final straw was when they left SWMBO and our 3 kids(all under 6 at the time) waiting roadside for 4 hours in the snow earlier this year.
they tried to blame there agent for delay but I know the owner of the recovery comapnay who they have agreement with and saw there logs and lets just say the AA where talking poo.

We complained to the AA and all we where offered was 1 months free membership.... told them where to stick it. :evil:
