With my Tiguan coming up to a year old, I feel I should take out some sort of breakdown insurance, hopefully never needed.
I have an offer to renew VW Assistance ( RAC ) for £10 / mo.
Having done a confused mercat serach, it would appear that basic assistance & recovery cover is available for as little as £20 - 30 / year.
So where's the catch, with RAC / AA and the like costing many times more
Who do you think pays for all their peak time TV commercials?
Autoexpress' Driver Power survey rates AutoAid, Gem and Britannia above RAC and AA.
I was in AA and RAC years ago but found them slow to respond and less than ideal in actions. After changing to Britannia I was delighted with quick response and helpfulness. Be aware that AA 'Relay' recovery for a long distance used to involve shifting your car from one truck to another, whereas Britannia take it all the way on one vehicle.
