If you want to get really angry -look at the tesco clubcard deals. We use about £50 of clubcard vouchers (from using a tesco credit card) to buy joint RAC roadside/recovery membership – its a bit more if you need european cover.

ah, but then you'd have to shop at Tescos.
I'd pay £100 not to have to 😉

You are going to cry. RAC for £8

I paid £8 for mine too!

Also, I had the cashback paid into my paypal account so I could spend the savings on bike bits 😆

My stiff upper lip says that £8 is for the very basic cover only. We get joint, personal, home and relay cover.

I get breakdown level 4, hire care, homestart, EU cover etc etc, thrown in with my car insurance for nowt extra.

"nowt extra" somehow I doubt that ! It will added into the price of the car insurance somewhere. These companies make money they aren't the local council.
