Anyone got any tips for buying a car recovery service – like AA, RAC, Greenflag etc.

What has anyone paid for a new contract with onward travel? how do I get a good deal? I am abroad so don’t see the ads in the saturday papers with the opening discounts.

Any help, advice appreciated, its a 9 year old car I will be driving if its important.

I’ve recently joined Auto Aid
It’s a pay then claim scheme..£38 per year for 2 cars
Initially recommended via the moneysaving expert website.

You could try via Topcashback. The AA have a number of deals for cash back on.

thanks for the autoaid link – I did read about it on mse.com. Do you have to nominate the car in the application? ie, you aren’t covered if you drive another non nominated car?

are the cashback deals on aa actually paid? brings the price down alot.

thanks in advance

I’ve had cashback for AA, RAC and Greenflag paid through Quidco but it takes a few months.

Rac via tesco clubcard

Could not recommend autoaid enough. It’s you the policy covers, no particular car. You can be a passenger in your mates car and your covered!

I’ve successfully used it 4 or 5 times now, claimed the money back each time and got it within 2 weeks. Only downside is your down cash during that period, but it cost so much less that that’s not really a problem.

Tbh, I don’t know how they make money with it!

try GEM
you pay for the recovery and then claim it back.
cheap premiums.
award winners.

Topcashback,…RAC (paid after a few months)

+1 bruneep, if you get clubcard points then like most other “partner” deals (rather than spending in-store) you get triple the value (was quadruple back in the day).
