Re: AA v RAC
I have AA cos it covers me rather than the car, not sure the others do

I am the same as Taz. Covers the card holder and therefore any vehicle you are in.Taz wrote:I have AA cos it covers me rather than the car, not sure the others do
Had to call them out once and took about 40 mins to get to me, which wasn't that bad

Re: AA v RAC
I joined RAC driver cover (any car) a few months back. Added additional name to policy and was about £70 for the year IIRC. Previously with Green Flag for years and they were great but wouldn't cover the Breadvan MC as it was....get this....too old?! RAC one of the only ones to cover it at a good price.
Current: Project Audi A2 1.4SE
Previously: Z3R 2.8 • E46 330i • Z4R 3.0 • Z4///MC • E90 335i • Z4///MR • Z3///MC 'Breadvan' • Z3R 2.8 • E30 325i R • Z4C • Z4R 3.0

Green flag have some deals on at the moment. Heard nothing but good things and they scored quite highly in a recent Auto Express poll.

Re: AA v RAC
RAC full cover included with Barclays Additions Plus along with mobile phone insurance , extended warranty ( extra 12 months ) on unlimited items bought for £50 or over , annual family travel insurance ( up to 75 years ) etc
Have used RAC several times - no restriction on vehicle age - changed a cambelt on daughters old Astra , repaired a coolant leak and ignition problem on our 25 year old campervan even though it took over an hour each time.
