This deal just gets better. Just renewed my policy through Groupon for £39 (£42.54 direct) It was always a good deal covering the policy holder & spouse or civil partner in any vehicle but now you no longer have to pay at the roadside then claim the money back from Autoaid. They now organise roadside assistance and recovery etc, just like the big boys do, the only payment you make is for the annual policy and if you need it, the hotel accommodation which you then claim back. Do read the small print. Hope this is of use to someone.

Thanks for calling me out like that. I'm amazed at how many people have plenty to say on other people's errors, but haven't ever posted a single deal for the benefit of the community. Keep up the good critique....

Also, they will recover in the event of an accident. At least one, if not all, of the big companies don't.

I've never had breakdown cover before. Are these guy as good as the big boys? Any feedback from you guys would be most appreciated

I imagine the vast majority of breakdown callouts are flat batteries and tyres. The agents they use will fix that for you. Most of them won't do much parts replacement though. They'll relay you to your local garage from wherever.
This £40 cost, though, includes at-home service. The 'big-boys' usually charge extra.
We've had this cover for many years and never been let down when we've needed them.

Never had to use them, hope I never have to, fingers crossed. Some good reviews around. Recommended as a bargain buy by Martin Lewis Money saving expert. Search Autoaid reviews or try review centre.

Just as good as AA and RAC?

Depends what you want in a breakdown company. AA and RAC have mechanics employed by them to come out and try and fix your car, any other company out there pay fees to contract garages to attend, the contract garages will do the minimum they can to make the most from their fee I would think. The AA and RAC will also use contractors when a patrol is not available and increasingly their patrols targets are shifting towards quantity rather than quality. Personally I think if you just want to make sure you can get home if you do breakdown then this deal is really good.

I've used AutoAid on and off for years, I found them to be really good.
Some people may see this as the 'catch', but it never bothered me: unless they've changed the system since I last used them, you have to pay for any repairs/towing etc yourself, then claim back the cost from AutoAid afterwards.
I suppose they are so cheap because some people don't actually gat around to claiming their refund.
I had to claim a few times, there was never even any hint that they wouldn't pay out.
