£29.25 using code NEW25

​some people just don't understand. it's called peice of mind. and how was he to know that he will only have 2 breakdowns.

I don't think building insurance is compulsory, so I guess you could have been self insuring all those years?

I haven't had to call them out at all in a similar amount of time but am happy to pay £39 a year for peace of mind. Cheap price for what you get.

Tried 'celebrate' on another account but it doesn't seem to work for me any more

How u have brought it as whenever i try to use the code it says code cant be used NEW25 & CELEBRATE

Just did mine and "celebrate" took my 39 quid down to 29 and change! Excellent deal!

If you can predict how many times you will break down Id take a shot at buying a lottery ticket :-)

I have been with Autoaid for years. In previous years you had to pay the repair chap direct and reclaim, this is no longer the case, Autoaid pay and no reclaim needed (I rang and asked that question when I used them 3 months ago, as the recovery man did not need me to pay).

NEW25 and WELCOME didn't work, but CELEBRATE took £7.80 off making it £31.20.
I'm happy with that

Thanks the NEW25 code worked just fine as well.

Thanks for this. NEW25 code worked for me, much better price than the £200 the AA wanted from an auto renewel.

You can make up an email address (doesn't have to be real) to signup, long as you note it down to be able to login and get your groupon voucher. Then can continually use NEW25 for 25% off

Also £6 for referral, so if using more than once, go to your account and referral, then send by email, don't send email just copy link, clear cookies, paste in link and repeat the 25% off above

If can't be bothered, CELEBRATE codes currently gives 20% off

11% Quidco for Groupon, but does say can't use with promo codes, but worth a try

If not going to use Autoaids free cover for spouse offer, might be better with 2Gether Breakdown Cover for £24 on Groupon (minus 25% off), although not used them and can't find any reviews

Most people are just mentioning about being towed to a garage which I get. But does the policy also cover roadside breakdowns or fixes at the garage. Still unsure at that point.

Yes, me being thick so you'll have to humour me please :stuck_out_tongue:

Used them last week. Asked the helpful operator lady if I needed to pay the person coming out and she said "no, we'll sort that out, you have nothing to pay".

Excellent service, called me up afterwards just to see if everything was ok, make sure the person had come to tow me home.

Happily recommend them.

Where do you think the money spent on you comes from?

No, it's like having a top-of-the-range breakdown policy, covering breakdown, relay, at home, overnight accommodation, theft and vandalism etc etc. The difference is that this is an insurance policy and not a standard cover - so the terms and conditions will state that this company will arrange these things for you, you pay, and THEN reclaim the cost from them (so it's effectively then free).

In reality, there are ways around having to pay anything up front, and even without trying there's sometimes no need.

You also get cover for a spouse / civil partner and the cover is PERSONAL, so it's you, in any vehicle - not just the car you might own etc. Also covers motorbikes, trailers and caravans.

See the full details here: https://www.autoaidbreakdown.co.uk/

So is this just towing to a local garage that's free and you can get your money back through auto aid? Or is it any road side fixes? Would they cover for keys being left in the car?

It's only around £42 normally?!

Anyway, AutoAid are good. Broke down outside Swindon and towed to Reading with no hassle. Their IT system was 'having issues' which meant I didn't need to pay/reclaim and AutoAid paid the recovery company directly

​Yes that's logical isn't it, break your arm in the States and pay £10,000 or take insurance like a normal person and be covered, or die and make your relatives pay £30,000 on your behalf

Great find, exactly what I needed!

so If I bought this for my Mrs who drives and me that doesn't...does it cover me for any car I'm in or does it have to be named?

I've had Autoaid cover for a few years and used for the first time this year when drive shaft snapped on the motorway. The whole experience was painless. Didn't have to pay for recovery and claim back like I was lead to believe when I first joined tho. Happy days,

Nope, why should other people pay for my misfortune? :smiley:

Yeah, NEW25 and WELCOME not working for me either (with a new account)

so you don't take out travel insurance then? that's a very wise decision if you travel to the US and other places out of Europe regularly :smiley:

Been with them for years and used a few times. No complaints at all (particularly now they have improved IT systems and don't need a cheque for annual payment!) and much cheaper than the big boys

​Crystal ball required!

Nice one OP - great price anyway but with NEW25 that's a steal...

Great company and no need to pay anything at the point of use - just tell the operator you don't have any form of payment on you if you break down, they will only send a company out who are prepared to invoice you. In reality, that company will likely just bill AutoAid anyway, so you'll not even need to submit a claim form.

If you do need to claim, they pay out very quickly.

NEW25 did work for me, you have to apply at the checkout.

£29.25 for two cars is great, thanks.

10% cashback on Groupon purchases for the next 5 days at Quidco

WELCOME does not work either

£29.25 using code NEW25

Where and when do you apply the WELCOME or NEW25 codes ?
I've tried both in the box here but neither work :disappointed:
https://www.autoaidbreakdown.co.uk/groupon/

I have had cover with Autoaid previously and they are very good. However, got cover with KwikFit now for £27 and £6 cashback through TCB, includes home start.

By far the best breakdown cover for the money,Anyone who doesn't have any breakdown cover is a bit silly,Breakdown on the motorway and you'll wish you had.

Peace of mind for a little price,heat added.

Awesome! Bought it.. Thanks op

​some people just don't understand. it's called peice of mind. and how was he to know that he will only have 2 breakdowns.

​oh aren't you amazing with your little rules about what you insure ! Hope you haven't got a dog !

Good product but cold deal, I have paid £39 a year standard price for the last 5 years or so, never been near Groupon, just bought it direct with AutoAid.

You have to pay the recovery firm and then claim back from Autoaid:
"Claim information
AutoAid is a pay and claim breakdown cover scheme. You will have to pay for costs and expenses yourself, safe in the knowledge we will reimburse** any amounts covered by this insurance in approximately 14 days."

It is where I live. Part of the service / management fees (not to be confused with contents insurance). And nothing to do with mortgage.

Highly recommended. I was towed from Edinburgh to Arbroath on a Sunday evening - 75 miles. No questions, and nothing to pay upfront. I'm sure the driver said it would have been something like £250 for the distance...

​but its more like breakdown insurance, carnt be sure when it will happen but just one breakdown could cost u five years cover in towage lol

Depends how far you need towed. I ended up crossing a few counties once and I can't remember what the guy said it would have cost me if I didn't have breakdown cover but it was a lot. He himself was getting a nice bit of overtime for the trip.

This is via Groupon. I think the code WELCOME works too. New customers only (or at least new accounts only..)

I got that price on the Groupon site with a new account.

Good deal!

Thanks ill have a look :-)

If you've got a mortgage then the lender insists you have buildings insurance, not sure if it is a legal requirement though. But if it's a condition they insist on then you will have to have it

Used once so far, got a flat tyre but could it get the wheel off the car had seized on. Bloke got to me within 30 mins and smacked the thing off. I was going to put then spare on but he insisted. Didn't get charged for his time either. I assume you get charged if they have to tow you. Great service

building insurance isn't a legal thing. though it may be compulsory with your mortgage, and IMHO its worth it (not contents)

on the car cover. I think it depends purely on the car. i totally agree with you on a newer car. waste of money. but on an older car (my newest car is 16years old and 160k miles. I think its definitely worth the 'piece of mind' definintely would take the 150£ risk on a newer car though.
i'm just glad they don't ask you how old your car is, or how many miles. this way all the people you describe are keeping my breakdown cover price down :stuck_out_tongue:

Great company, highly recommended. Why people would use RAC/AA/Green flag over these is beyond me.

Great company. Used it once. Paid up within a week.

I don't think building insurance is compulsory, so I guess you could have been self insuring all those years?

Very good customer service, insures you and spouse, not the car.
Used them twice, easy claims process.

you need to pay and claim, if you are short on cash or credit card maxed out not the best policy

Other breakdown companies will cover you. You just pay them on the spot. Circa £150 for a call out for the big names. Obviously local ones will be cheaper. This is just another form of insurance that people like you are happy to pay for without realising they are being ripped off. I have a rule, only ever pay for a product or a service (nothing speculative), except car/buildings insurance as that's legally required. Keep paying if you like the peace of mind of course :smiley:

I haven't had to call them out at all in a similar amount of time but am happy to pay £39 a year for peace of mind. Cheap price for what you get.

sensibly priced peace of mind.....

Hasn't it always been this price direct from Auto-Aid?

Great company - isn't it only £42.54 without groupon though?

Yep - Only had to use them twice in about 8 years, but they do what they say they will.
Less than £40 for full recovery to a place of your choice plus home-start for you and your partner.
Highly recommended.

possible £10 cashback via topcash for a new signup at groupon

Great company, I broke down in Liverpool yesterday and got towed back to Kent no issues!
