• Suzuki - New AA Warranty Catastrophe Cover: is it worth it? 8 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  I drive a Suzuki Ignis 2004-plate (out of warranty), have done 20,000 mls from new, and I am considering taking up the new (from September 2007) AA Catastrophe Cover from AA Warranty to cover major mechanical failures (excess £300) after reading in a car mag that 29% of repair bills exceed £3,000 (according to AA Warranty), which scared me a little! It costs approx. £9/month.

• Breakdown service recommendations? 28 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  This is not the first time I've been stuffed on renewal after a good initial rate. Can any backroomers recommend a basic (or better) cover at a more sensible price? It would preferably be car-based rather than personal, covering any driver, as my other two cars already have car-based cover.

• Volkswagen Golf - Just had car accident, feeling being scammed 23 Nov 2022 (Forum)
  The white cover  is clearly still there. Later, when he got out of the car to check his car with me, I found that his left rearview mirror also had no cover. I felt that his right rearview mirror was originally broken with cover removable, and then he used this opportunity to ask me to replace it with a new one.
• Accidents and AA / RAC cover 23 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Luckily I've not had these circumstances apply, but I've heard different things from different people and wondered if anyone can give a fairly definitive answer. Basically, will the AA or RAC recover your car if it is rendered immovable in an accident, or unsafe to drive? A friend at work says the only reason he gets cover is for this eventuality, but another friend says that she had to pay for towing and storage costs after an accident.

• Vauxhall Ast - Charge of defective brakes - rubber pedal cover 20 Jul 2018 (Forum)
  In January I had an accident. It was pouring rain and my car span when coming off a roundabout. At the time the police said my brake pedal should have had a rubber cover and it did not. I wasn’t aware of this. Today I have received notice that I have been charged for having defective brake - however the report from the police is inaccurate - particularly stating that my foot slipped on the brake when this is not the case and actually I tried to brake and the car just span - I think because of the weather and possible aquaplaining. 1.
