Does anyone have any good suggestions?

I've been with the AA for ages & it's £250 for me and my wife driving any car. The equivilent Green Flag via Tesco is £103 for 2 cars, Green Flag by itself is about £86 for 2 cars. AXA is about £180 and the RAC is about the same as the AA. Don't need European cover. Are there any others.

Both cars are just over 3 years old.

Thanks.

£250? :shock:

I pay the RAC about £100 for Mrs R and I, personal membership meaning covered in any car even as a passenger and including all take you home, at home cover etc. excluding the Euro bollox.

Aye - I threatened to leave the RAC when my renewal came through at about 250 quid.

They offered me their new customer/online deal which was about £130 - which I thought was canny til I saw Ripper's reply rage

Thanks all for the replies. Looks like Green Flag then, although I'll have another look at the RAC deal to see if there's any big advantages with them.

Do they sell those bikes which allow the owner to ride in the dark without any lights or hi-vis clothing, cycle on the road and whinge about car drivers, but then come up on the pavement when they can't be arsed to wait at the lights

Or those bikes which drive the wrong way along one way street

Or those bikes with a little gay basket at the front to put yer dog and flowers from your allotment in?
