Thumbs up

I with 'em they're pretty good IMO

Used them twice. 1st time I did'nt realise I was covered, but the company that towed me in was a green flag agent, so when I realised. I phoned and they paid up

Would have used them 3 times, but somehow my payment did'nt get through so I was'nt covered

Direct Line Rescue are in the same partnership. I think you can also get good discounts if you join via the caravan club too.

Piece of mind for a fiver a month can't be bad. I was with them for 3 years although I was lucky enough only to have to call them once , but on that occasion they were fine.Would have stayed with them but got free Scoob assistance with new car.

I switched to them after being with the AA for years. AA turned crap and left me stranded at Gretna Services for 6 hours so I binned them.

Only needed to call on Green Flag obce for my girlfriend and they were with her in 25 mins.

I used to use Green Flag and they were excellent. I had a puncture one evening on my motorbike (my only transport) and not only did they get me home, but they then picked me up in the morning and took my to the tyre place!

Also, they don't have the AA/RAC policy of sending the nearest available unit even if they know it's not suitable just to get a good response time.

I've now got a company car and have to use the RAC, and they have been a lot slower.

I've been with them for 6 years, and they're excellent. The only time they've messed me around was when an accelerator cable snapped on a morris minor that I'd got covered with 'em, and they didn't bring a spare. They put me on a flatbed and took me to a garage tho, so I can't really complain, but that operator was taking the **** as they get paid per mile...

They were great -used them for maybe 6 years.

RAC on motorbike were so crap they gave me £100 'sorry' for leaving me stranded for 5 hours of 'its on its way'...

With 'International Rescue' now as it was best deal for multi drivers with multi vehicles and Europe cover.
