RAC Aaaah!

Then I write to them telling them what a good customer I am as I maintain my vehicles, how it must be cheaper for them to retain my custom than get a new customer and that unless they can offer me some sort of loyalty discount to stay with them I shall go elsewhere. This always results in a phone call offering me a vastly reduced cost - this year from £185 down to £115 with the addition of legal cover and accident recovery at no cost. So it's worth haggling whoever you renew with.

funny you should say that. I had the sme thing yesterday. i recieved a letter form the AA saying my policy would renew and it was £130. last year it was £70. After telling them ill sign up with the RAC and ill see them in another year when i get new customer discount again the mysterialsy knocked £60 of the total! Crackers!

any one who is/was or has a family who is/was a civil servant ( of any type) should look at the CSMA and join brittannia rescue through this i pay about £115 for full everything cover any car or bike in the Uk +homestart +EU ( for 2 named cars and named bikes)

they don't have theier own crews but send local garages out and always an appropriate veichle for the bike or car

yea AA are rubbish too, i was with them for years and when i needed them (bike accident) they wouldnt come out to me? just like an insurace company really they like your money but hate paying up.
