Just a heads up RAC doing 1/2 price offer this weekend £67 full membership

If only they didn’t offer such a crap service......... Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto
Present: Audi A3 S Line.

Just looking through *approved used warranty* and it seems breakdown is covered for the 2 years so no need this year so save a few bob

Good heads up though If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Just renewed breakdown cover with Driver Guardian - full UK and 90 days in Europe - home start, roadside, recovery, onward travel, emergency driver . . . . £75:60

Aye Sid seen you mentioned these not so long back will keep my eye on them when warranty out  If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

They can’t be as bad as Green Flag they use a contractor I know well & I would not trust him to fix my wheelbarrow

I've never had any problems with them.

nor me, noticed that the rac once sent a green flag van out instead of there own  Common sense isn't very common.

Plenty of complainers about poor and shoddy breakdown service on the RAC forum. Strangely, after a complaint, there’s always a first time poster thanking a RAC patrol for doing a splendid job. They never post more than once though...... Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

On the same lines...has anyone used the LR Excess Protect ?
£29 covers £250 excess for 12months. If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Jules, as well as breakdown cover with Driver Guardian I took their Legal Protection policy that provides £100k legal fees, claims for repairs and car hire, personal injury, recovery of uninsured losses. This costs me £18 for myself and Significant Other, a damn sight cheaper than adding this cover to my car insurance

It’s all very well using little known, bargain price breakdown cover but the real test is when you need the service. That’s not the time to find out that you paid too little. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Same with insurance, don’t know what your premiums worth until you make a claim. Look at some of the reviews the AA and RAC get and you wonder why you’d pay their prices?
I’d read decent reviews of Driver Guardian in motoring press and on line before parting with my money. Previously with ADAC, the German outfit and biggest in Europe? Why were they so much cheaper than our largest? Had to go elsewhere as they’d no longer cover non residents

No Sid this is something off LR who will pay your excess back. trouble is I cannot seem to find out if they are any good  If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.
