Default Best Breakdown cover?

The Fiesta spat its dummy again tonight at the PF meet, turned out to be the wiring of a fucking stupid spasticated tuner based in witham who charged me an arm and a leg for a cowboy wiring...
Luckily i sorted it, but made me think i need to invest in some breakdown cover. Whats the best at the minute? I want to be towed to wherever i want i.e. Home from anywhere.

Btw thanks to Twins who popped over to say hello

I get some sort of free cover with RAC through my bank account with Halifax.

I still pay for the relay option on RAC though... having an old Ford I need it!

If your with Barclays bank, get there Additions Plus Account


Im with Green flag (throught the above) - Full country recovery bla bla, they are the bollocks, and I've used them loads! Always one time, not very long waits etc.. Really cant fault them


I cant remember how much you pay towards it, but its basically fuck all I think

I'm with the AA as RAC damaged the last three cars they recovered, as they use agents(garages) and they are all crappy around here in tractor land.
Kerleys sent a shit heap of a truck to take me to erith/kent from norwich and the driver who said he was a ex truckie asked me the way to london!!
They also nicely put the metal buckles right on all four brand new alloys, I did not notice as was in a different car leading the way, that they had gouged all four alloys, he moaned the car was too low a standard mondeo mk1 is not low, they sent a commercial type truck and the floor of the car was hitting the truck in the middle of it due tho the arch on the truck, it had a top speed of 47mph as well.
The time before in someone else's car I waited 4 1/2 hours to be recovered as fuel pump went in tank of SD1, told them this they sent out not one but two different vans before the recovery truck, they wanted to tow me all the way to BOSTON to start with 70/80 miles, when the recovery truck got there he had come from boston area.

The 'expertly' done wiring came loose. Took me awhile to source.

Think RAC are the way to go from what ive seen, thanks.
