Breakdown cover
« on: June 09, 2005, 06:07:40 pm »
Does anyone know of a breakdown cover service that does not trade under the name of Dick Turpin.
Just contacted RAC & they want nearly £60 this year for a Motorbike.
Anyone get me a quote from ACO?

Is that for the UK/inc. relay or just the trip to France?

Are you a member of any motor related clubs?

I was having a look around today for cover (mainly as the car has only gone about 1 mile under it's own power in the last 18 months!) and the AA were the cheapest of the well known brands (cheaper than the RAC with membership discount).

A point worth noting is that both the AA & RAC add a hefty premium for older cars (10+ or 15+ can't remember).  However the RAC will waive this if you are in a recognised club the AA won't.  I'm paying about £42 for 8 days cover for a '63 Sprite with the RAC, AA quote was seventy something.

If you buy an AA Maxi Atlas of France (2005 ed) @£12.99 then you get a voucher code for £10 off Euro Cover.

Can then buy online from AA and just stick in the code.. if you know it.

Erm...spending £12.99 to get £10 off isn't my idea of a bargain...each to his own though! :)

It is if you need a Road Atlas!

Anyway if you didn't want to buy one, all you need to do is find out the code ;)

I paid £28 for the car for 9 days over the internet with

I'll have to look into this earlier next year as I always leave it to the last minute.
