supra_si Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I just got my AA renewal through the door and just browsing through what im covered for and it works out im not covered at all because my car is over 10 years old. Which companies have your backs? im annoyed as ive been witht the AA for 6 years and its cheaper for me to leave and join back up than it is to renew for the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 When did the AA stop covering cars over 10 years old ???, they have picked me up a couple of times and mine are 93 and 95 cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeyboy2k Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I think they don't cover the cheapest membership option if you have a car older than 10 years (Roadside assistance??). If you have Relay or anything more expensive than that you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I'm with the RAC through Club Toyota, works out to be an absolutely bargain for the top spec RAC cover, £55 for UK and Europe cover, onward travel, homestart, hire car and so on. http://www.toyota.co.uk/cgi-bin/toyota/bv/frame_start.jsp?id=S_Club (but you need to have a UK car ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I'm with Britannia Rescue, discounted through the CSMA. Deluxe and Personal Cover - which means Europe and any car I'm in. The only time I've had to call them out (not in the Sup) they turned up within a half hour with a low loader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 My breakdown cover is through my bank account. It all comes as perks of the service. I have to pay for it all though, at approx £15 a month, but it includes lots of other things too. Which is nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughany Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I thought with the AA, the member has the cover, does'nt matter what car, if your a passenger etc. I have the top cover, I had a flat battery on my drive, they came out and recharged the Supe, no probs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 With RAC, however no choice in the matter as it is on my Fiance's father details as he is disabled and has priority response, even though with that they still took over 3 hours to arrive on last call out. Heard a lot of people talk about Green Flag being good, father used to use them before going on Mobility and he never had an issue. I thought with the AA, the member has the cover, does'nt matter what car, if your a passenger etc. I am sure there will be some clause, as do you not have to register the main car with them?

turbonut Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Club Toyota refused to cover me, although they use RAC as it was Jap (as Michael said). I'd had 7 years of toyota ownership with cover from themselves previously Still, had a deal with RAC. However, after 12 months without calling them out they increased my cover from £78 to £120!! Sky, who I'm insured with, do breakdown cover. Cost me about £47 through EuropAssist. Had to use them a couple of times (turned out to be a dodgy battery) and they have low loaders and specialise in Jap cars Maybe you can join independently if your not with sky?

michael Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Nope, RAC is the person, not the car Be careful with that one, there are a range of options available, as with the AA, that mean you can end up with the car or the person being covered. Club Toyota with the RAC tie you in to the car for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
