This cover is cheap until you actually breakdown... being over 10 miles from home it cost a whopping £173 to be towed home. Younever think it will happen to you. I learnt my lesson after that 6 hour fiasco.

Bit of advice. If you dont have Breakdown and get stranded then look up local firms , there will be a load of them on Gumtree for example. They will charge a fraction of the big firms Also have the option of immediate cover so compare the two Dont panic , if you breakdown on the motorway you have 2 hours before you have to remove the vehicle

OP - Its a basic AA service for £39. For a few quid more, you can get a full service including recovery and home service from AutoAid, which has been on HUKD but see MSE or AutoAid's website for more details. Don't know if you can get cashback as well on your first annual premium but anyone can check on TCB or Quidco.
PS - Just checked on HUKD - there's a post saying £29 after Groupon discount plus possible £5 Quidco cashback making £24 net for a year's AutoAid cover. I don't recommend Groupon though as I consider them unfair after a rotten experience with them. Same goes for Quidco who i've had to chase after to get cashback due. I prefer TCB.

^ I generally have a terrible time trying to get TCB to pay out on anything larger than £2. I really should get some breakdown cover - i've chanced it for years buying VWs new with a year's free cover and then gone without. Luckily enough, i've never had one actually have an incapacitating fault with 8 new VWs over the last 15 years. Might give AutoAid a go, thanks!

Wouldn't use anyone else now having been with Autoaid for many years.
How does AutoAid breakdown cover work?If you experience a breakdown, just call our AutoAid helpline and we will arrange for the emergency roadside assistance.
AutoAid’s breakdown cover is personal based, which means you and your legal spouse or civil partner will be covered in any eligible vehicle you are driving at the time of the breakdown.
And before anyone says you have to pay and claim back, that stopped being the case a year or two ago.

Would love to use AutoAid but the "you and your legal spouse or civil partner will be covered" clause means that it doesn't work out for me (& my pretty uncivil!) partner. Just took out AA the other day (the £120 package which should get £60 TCB) but the cashback didn't track for some reason, so I'm going to cancel and see if RAC cashback tracks. Need something as the car's getting rather long in the tooth.

Startrescue all the way. Cheapest and best by miles. Just check them out; either by vehicle (cheaper if your car is newer, too), or by people. Plus 15% Quidco....
