AA or RAC
Who are the best ? also need them for european cover as well.
regards "MADDOG" :D |
Both about the same I reckon, I just went for the ones with the best coloured vans ;)

Because being a 4wd I need a flatbed to tow it, not a pair of lifting eyes. Also I don't want a numpty trying to fix it by the roadside (unless its a flat battery or snapped alternator/PAS belt), and I want it taken to the garage of my choice. |
i recomend AA
|
neither go to mondial its cheaper
|
I get RAC cover through my insurance at a cheaper price, it's in the small print somewhere....... (Norwich Union)
Maybe you already have cover ?? Midlife..... |
the AA has definatly got a lot worse since it was taken over by a bunch of venture capitalists a couple of years ago
it used to be a not for profit organisation for "members" -- now its just a numbers game having said that every AA man i have had dealings with has been 1st class (but even they say its not the organisation it once was) |
ADAC. Better and cheaper for European cover: they use the AA here.
|
Right my 2p's worth!
Rac sub contract work out to any local company same with Green flag so you can get any bob dick or Harry to come and help! AA stick to there own people in proper AA van's/Trucks! Ok it might take the AA abit more time to come out but i know what i rather! Last Saturday night my mates GTR 410BHP Skyline alternator caught fire! He pulled over and done all the correct things then called the RAC then after 5 phone calls from the sub contractor and Rac and saying they can't fix it and getting the RIGHT lorry (NEVER asked for it to be fixed!) (Flat bed as performance lowered car) they finally did what was asked. Only asked for recovery to pick the car up and take back to workshop thats it! To much fcuking around IMHO I NEVER have this with the AA and always been pretty good! |
The AA do a discount for SIDC members :thumb:

Brittannia Rescue all the way!
Take you to the destination of your choice, not just to a garage. |

ADAC costs less for Europe wide recovery and onward travel, than the AA charge for Relay in the UK...

Look into the small print before you decide. Some of the companies charge you to recover the vehicle after an accident, then you claim the fee back from your insurance company. Been with RAC for the wifes car for years. Only had to call them once recently,they arrived in less than 15 mins. Years ago they came to me assistance when the key snapped in the fuel cap of my Cossie. There in less than 5 mins, fixed the key then took the repaired key to nearest Ford dealer to have a new one cut. Can't recommend them enough in my experience.

ive got aa roadside relay cover, and i have more than had my fare share out of it, roughly 40mins to come, i have broken down in some bad spots on the a14 and they've been spot on.
with the rac or green flag you never know whos gonna pick u up, i once had some scummy bloke turn up, u never know who to trust. |

Really never had a contractor yet? :eek:
Yes, the company i work for (ontime recovery) are AA contractors. |
I've had ONE contractor turn up, but I knew the firm AND was told by the AA that he would be doing so. Even told me the name of the driver!
The RAC once left my wife stuck on the M1 at 7:30 in the morning in mid-november with a broken down mini. (Woodall Services) I added her to my AA membership immediately after that |

AA definitely, my other half is an AA patrol :thumb:
The AA have far more vehicles than the RAC but also more members. |
Thats another reason to opt for ADAC Sal. European cover for less than the AA charge for UK Relay, and the AA is their partner here...
|
We've got about five AA memberships between us :D I pay for my own which has been upgraded to the all singing, all dancing top of the range jobby for free because I've been with them so long, I also get a free membership with my bank account. Bob gets a free membership because he works for them, he also gets one free with his bank account. We also got a free membership with the new car :D
We're pretty much covered I think :lol1: |
I've found it very hard to beat Autoaid - very simple scheme and it costs £36 a year.
