Default RAC, AA or Green Flag

Which is the best one to go with

Rac have pissed me off, as an existing customer my premium is £220 with one call out in 4 years, if i join on same package tomorrow £140 as a new member
Get pinalised for staying with them

If you end a policy you cant take the new one for 90 days, so figured if RAC turn out to be the best, just go with green flag for 3 months then back to RAC

Not ever used AA or Greenflag, any experience on these guys

I'm with green flag, they cover me in Europe too

Sign up to quidco. I got £40 back for signing the missus up to RAC which was cheaper than her renewal anyway. Oh and that 90 day thing is bollocks, they are happy to take your money the next day

As said they will take you back 5 minutes after a cancellation as they want the business, they tell people this to stop them shopping around.
I get it every year they think I won't notice the DD has gone up as the new membership year starts, so I phone them tell them that so and so will do it for X amount they always have dropped, works with RAC and AA, I was thinking about Green flag but was told that they will ONLY recover to nearest garage not where you want it to go ?

Im with greenflag at the mo, and they are shit hot, 4 call outs in 4months (yes the cars be playing up!)
but i will not be renewing it with them, as after having to stop in a servies station on the M40, rushing to get to a important weeding, had to stop cause a hub nut kept coming undone.
Was in the servies station at 7am on a very wet sat morning, called greenflag and they said they would be an hour to an hour and a half, a AA man drove in next to me, i ask if he would lend me the tools to do it myself, he said yes,but only he would do it, let me sit in is van while he did the work in the tipping rain( not like i cant do the work, but i was suited and booted) Great man! many thaanks to him! only bad thing about the AA was the girl on there customer servies line, wouldnt help me find this man, so i could ask for him to be put in for employee of the month or something.
