Our multi car RAC cover rocketed at renewal some months ago. Rang them up and they said it was because we had 1 call out during the 12 months (for a car other than the RR… and one that they didn’t even fix or recover). They were surprised when we said we didn’t need their cover and would just cancel…. and they then offered the same level of cover for the same price as the previous year. Actually think we could have got it for even less than that |

Rescue my car £26 per year with £40 excess. Recovery with onward travel anywhere in uk.

Never bothered with breakdown cover until I bought my current FFRR, Britannia breakdown & Recovery through LV is ~£29 p.a. No excess and I can add on European cover as needed. |

I'm gonna go down the cancelling route and see what they say. I've done a quote with the AA and it's only £22 a month for both cars and fully covered excluding European cover as i don't need it.

I've been with the RAC for 22 years now and I always got a discount when I complained about the price of my renewal. They don't give me a discount now but give me 15 months cover for the price of 12 instead. |

If you get recovery with your car insurance please check details. Years ago flooded a BMW 520D in literally 6 inches of water. Called insurance recovery to find it covered only a 8 mile tow! Nearest garage was 10 miles away but fortunately I was my local BMW dealer but took a bit of arguing to get it lifted. 2012 tdv8 Westminster arrived Jan 19 gone Dec 23

Here's a trick to get RAC cover for a fraction of the price....

Had my AA renewal offer - Fatty and Defender were £222 last year, this time they wanted £540, then reduced to £340 when I queried it.
