We have Aviva rescue, had it for many years now. The Personal Joint Policy we have covers myself and the wife when we are driving or passenger in ANY car. We are covered for rescue, recovery, onward travel and at-home. All for £60 a year. When needed the RAC attends.

Dad has Aviva rescue on his insurance policy. Same level of cover as us but it only covers the car named on the insurance policy. £35 a year.

Myself and a mate once had a long chat with a breakdown bloke at his garage, after a tow in, while we waited for the flatbed to turn up to transport us and the car home.

His mob covered that stretch of the A1 for the usual suspects (Green Flag, Europ Assistance and the Insurers' own), but also covered for the AA and RAC when they could not attend.

He really hated the RAC jobs. The reason being that they only ever resorted to using him after they'd waited until the customer was doing his pieces over the phone at them and still had no sight of when they'd have one of their own available. Turning up to an RAC job invariably meant getting a stream of spittle-flecked invective from their irate member, who'd usually been standing around in the teeming rain for somewhat over four hours by then.

Edit: Going back on topic, Toyota are providing a year's full European cover for 29 Euro in these parts.
