has anyone else bothered to read the new t's and c's for the AA?

they wont cove any car over 10 years old for roadside relay unless they are currently on the scheme (mine is ) so that basically rules out ALL ford cosworth variants


dont know if RAC green flag etc are going to follow suit?!

 

Sneaky

"Yes this is a private plate"

 

good job i'm already with them going to change though due to them taking 10hrs to do a 4hr trip and damaging the cos , will have to check up on this one before i do though

Bri

 

more info on this please if you will

so if you join now they won't cover any car over 10 yrs old?

i've been a member since 1996 so take it i'm ok?

 

silky, correct

they know where their bread is buttered

why cover cars that DO break down when you can cover new ones that dont

 

im already with them

 

So What happens when you re-new ???

My Mk2 fezzy is 20yrs old this year ..lol..... and i use it every day !

Al........

 

So if your already with them it dont matter, right?

As all my cars are well over 10yrs old, and always break down

 

I had a quick look and it says, your are only supposed to call them 5 times in the last year or two years !

I am already up to three

Al....

 

whats the deal with this then?

thought the person was the member, not the car.

i have been with them for 6 years now, but they dont know i have the cos, cos i havent used them for it yet (touch wood)

can someone explain.

they dont ask you what car you own, before you join, surely???

 

Another sneaky trick they play is that if you have the top cover (the one where you get a hire car or a hotel, take your car anywhere in the country, etc tec....). You can oly use 6 call outs a year!!! What a load of sh*t!!

I was with them witth the top cover last year and got a letter in the post saying that i'd used all of my call out?? Never said f*ck all to me about that when they were taking £170 of my money!!!

Yet I asked and they said that if i took the regular £35 roadside assist (drive you off the motorway type) you can have as many call outs as possible???

Can't work this world out!!!!!

Now with Green Flag, No problems!![/quote]

 

i joined a couple of months back and was told it didnt matter about the age

 

Bollocks to the AA, they are just too big a company now to care about older cars. Wont be renewing this year anyway as they are overpriced.

 

They have also dropped legal assistance.

I used to always decline the offer of paying the extra £20 or so on top of your car insurance premium for the Motorist Legal Cover thing, as the AA would and could do this for you.

Not any more

 

Like said above it wont be long untill they only want to cover cars that never break down!

 

Well i just picked a car up i bought at auctions yesterday, 1 dead battery, 1 flat tyre with no locking wheel nut - AA arrived within 10minutes and he was dead helpful & sorted it withing 30minutes and knackered a screwdriver and 2 sockets in dooing it - top guy really

 

when i joined last year they asked me what my car was - even though I'm the memeber NOT the car......


also the rules changed at the and of June according to the bumf they sent last nite....

 

thats the bit i am confused about

 

well ive been with em for 9 years now,,,,,,,, and i aint bothered

 

DISCRIMINATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!


Not sure if spelling is correct but u get the idea

 

Been a member since last November, already called them out three times and been spot on each time. Got Option 400 cover for less than £15 a month (badgered the bloke till he gave in). Free European cover for the first year, which is cool.

Just rang them and they said its true for all new customers but existing ones cars over 10 years are covered and will be after renewal as well, so I'll be staying.

The 6 times a year thing is a bit shit, but realistically (for me anyways), the cars are well maintained so don't expect to get to 6 callouts. The 3 I've had were for minor things that I couldn't be arsed to do myself.

Cheers
