AA - generally ok but had to wait ages. some of my family have had horror stories with them. Expensive for cover RAC - generally ok. Expensive for cover GEM - really good but almost as expensive as AA/RAC, though far better as they use local garages (which i guess can be a lottery) Audi - they use AA now. Was free and on the one occassion i have used it it was pretty decent Nationwide - Brittania Breakdown - not used it yet

Great thinking, but what if you breakdown at your parents?

RAC are matching this deal. Just seen it advertised. Same price, same unlimited call out etc.
Had very bad experience with RAC so I will be going for AA this time. I used to change each year but think I will stick with AA because they have awesome deals for members like money off toby carvery woohoo. RAC parent company tried to sell me personal insurance and they offered me a free trial and then when I cancelled somehow they "forgot" i cancelled. Took ages to sort it out and the breakdown cover that I received from RAC was poor. Long wait, poor diagnosis of fault etc etc... of course it's anecdotal but i'm not going with em again.
AA FTW heat from me op.

You - "Hi my name is backinstock and I am an alcoholic.."
AA lady - "Jesus loves you backinstock.. you must welcome him into your heart and be saved!"
You - "Forget I said anything.. I'm off to the pub! Anyone fancy it?"
Silence..
"No? Fair enough.. tell Jesus I'm trying my best"

I hate to mention them but (as they are now known) Kwik Fit are pretty decent.
I have used them on a couple of occasions and have been very happy with them. They use a large base of independent garages and in one instance on a sunday night, they had me towed to a garage, arranged a hire car to get me to my destination that night and arranged to deliver my broken car to me at my destination a couple of days later, as i was fixing it myself (wheel bearing had gone). That was all within an hour and a half of breaking down.
I think the limit was 6 call outs a year and they also covered me for breakdowns in Europe. THAT SAID!!! I won't be renewing due to a couple of changes in the policy that means my car wouldn't be covered in europe as its too old apparently.
For UK cover excellent.

Unlimited call outs, great, that is until the renewal, our policy went up to over £50 per month (100% rise) because we had used them 3 times in the previous year. That was their excuse for the astronomical price rise. Obviously we cancelled.
