I'm with the AA, joint membership with roadside relay and recovery, £96 a year, just tell the AA you are defecting to the RAC, I do this all the time, well every year when they try to whack it up at renewal time, they always budge and drop to £8 a month again.

I have RAC Family cover which is rather handy as it covers up to 5 Family members on a "Personal level" which means any car that any 5 are in at any one time for £110

I was with the RAC and they managed to gouge a 10 mile old set of alloys by placing the buckles across them, they used a contractor called kerleys from norwich, what a bunch of *ankers they were, the RAC patrolmen I couldn't fault as with AA ones they are all good, just rac contractors get them a bad name.

RAC, had an excellent service by them recently when my wife's wheel bearing fell to bits. Patrol man took the hub off and pressed out the bearing while I nipped to ford for a new bearing, he then took the hub away to a garage to press a new bearing in, came back, put the car back together, drove to my wife's work, picked her up, dropped her back to her car and followed her for a couple of miles to make sure she was happy with it.

I paid around £150 last year and just had my renewal through, think it was £69 for both of us for the year, roadside and relay. Certainly can't argue with that!

We are with the RAC and have been for about 8 years or so never had any trouble when we have had to call them out

AA, if you call them up and say that you have had a cheaper quote they will match it or give you it cheaper, its just like renewing car/house insurance etc, if you don't ask, you won't get... Failing that, cancel yours and swap it into your wifes name and she will get the best introductory offer at the moment, which is online!
