TrickTT Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 :complain:I've just spent 20 mins on the phone with a moron from direct line about my breakdown cover renewal. He had only a partial grasp of the english language, quoted me 5 different prices and refused to accept that my 1993 car wasn't an '86 - '89 model , so I told him to shove his policy up his ar$e and hung up. I've got 3 years NCB on breakdown cover. Anyone got any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I've used AA, RAC and Greenflag before. I used to like AA as they were good at getting you back on the road. Now their service seems to have gone down the hill. They're all pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Don't bother with More Than either. They wouldn't cover me on an Import for reasons they couldn't provide. Utter cods wallop............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I had a similar problem with direct line. first two times I changed the car on the policy they didn't change the documents to indicate it was an auto (and hence I'd only really want it flat-bedded if it broke down). I've joined with the RAC now having had appalling service from the AA (had to wait 3 1/2 hours once :O) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I'm with the RAC as well. Although I can't comment on their service as I haven't yet had to call them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I was with the RAC, turned up fairly quick. Broke down in an old Nova I had, had to be towed in the kitcar (!) and they sorted my sister when she locked the keys in the car. Twice.

Paul Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 RAC too, Club Toyota. Not sure if you can get J-specs on it but ever since I've owned Toyota's it's been £55 for the works. I've used them once to pick up my Supra when the diff cooler pipe leaked and they sent a transporter suited to low cars. They picked it up from home with me and dropped it 10miles away at Toyota dealer then brought me back home. Top service and very helpfull.

letmeshowyou Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 they can do the same thing as the AA now with you being the member rather than the car (which is what I did) so I hope they do imports :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 what am I saying... I hope I never need to find out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwannasupra Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 norwich union brk is with RAC, but MUCH MUCH cheaper, and usually better cover! give them a call, honestly will save you cash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 norwich union brk is with RAC, but MUCH MUCH cheaper, and usually better cover! give them a call, honestly will save you cash! Good call - £53.43 for rescue/recovery/homestart. Beats the next best quote by over a tenner. Thanks for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
