Recovery service prices

Just had my annual recovery renewal from the AA, two drivers £276, seems a bit steep to me particularly as I've only used them once in the last ten years and that wasn't for the Disco, any cheaper options or recommendations?

Have a look on their website to see what you can get the same cover for as a new member - it will be much cheaper than that - phone them and tell them you want the same deal as a reward for your loyalty - I have done that every year for the past 10 years or so and they have agreed to reduce the price on every occasion without fail

I use AutoAid, £42.54 a year, nationwide recovery for me and the wife, driving any vehicle including trailer/caravan. Used them for years and can thoroughly recommend them.

I'm same...shocking amount of money.

Hate this culture that you have to phone around everywhere for every service.
Loyalty means absolutely nothing these days.

Thumbs Up Done it that way for many years, apart from when we got AA soooooper cheap after the BMW factory cover expired, even though we'd sold it two years before. Whistle Thumbs Up

AA spawn of the devil, I cancelled them years ago, the non stop calls and messages went on for months and I would never use them again ever for this one reason alone.

You could also have tried going through a site such as Topcashback. Think I paid about £120 but got £40ish back. Deal changes all the time though and the cash back took about 12 weeks. Still...
