AA Relay. Or back home. Relay Plus (or whatever they call it now) enables the car to go home -- best place for it -- and you to your destination.

Thanks all,
I'll re-read the AA stuff, they would be my first choice tbh but the description of the relay was as in my message.
Will check out GEM too, and let y'all know what I choose.

Never read the small print, but whenever I've used Direct Line (former Green Flag/NBRC) I've been taken straight home after, roadside assessment, with possibility of car going on to "my" garage.
Anybody got any experience of a breakdown outfit or its contractors insisting on the term Lee refers.

If you're checking out GEM, try getting aquote through moneysupermarket.com - it's cheaper than going direct to GEM!

I've always had the basic £29-£34 cover when on special offer, and found that the patrol men will do whatever they can to help you if you are nice to them. That is only roadside assistance or tow to nearest garage, but I have found they do much more than that. I have to say, it is now a fair few years since I have broken down, and maybe they are more strict now they use spy satellites etc...

Green Flag uses local area breakdown specialists (or at least used to do when I was a member) and they are more likely to know the best places to deal with your car if, by any chance, they can't cure any problems.
These days I enjoy RAC Fleet cover but have never had to use its services.
Must be something to do with owning three Volkswagens over the last 13 years....:-))

In my haste to sort this out, I forgot that I already had AA cover for the now dead Clio. Rang the AA and they couldn't have been more helpful- they explained Relay as I understood it - fix it or get you home so have gone with them again.
Thanks to all for the advice, there wasn't much in it at the end, as I saved a few £s by already having some cover with them.

I dunno why we bother . . . but glad you got it sorted.
