They're all the same these days. Doesn't matter if you've never claimed, prices just keep on spiralling.

haha the same cover with online discount is £16 cheaper online(for new customers). Nice loyalty bonus for me....NOT!!!

Bye bye RAC.

Give them a call and ask them for a better price Paul. Dave got our renewal through and it was over £150 and they lowered it to £96 for the year for both of us.

I've called before about car insurance and got it lowered. Always worth shopping around and if you go through Quidco you'll maybe get some cash back too. x

ive been with More than for the last 3 years, ive paid less year upon year with them, they use local firm for call outs etc. Only used them twice over the last 4 years and they were great, much quicker call out times as they find the closest local garage to where you are at the time! last time i had the guy turn up to deal with my car whilst i was still on the phone to the call handler!

I do my car insurance thru a local broker. I go online, find the cheapest deal and he matches it!! He also does RAC broker direct and it costs me £69 including home start.

I was with More Than for a year but the reason I didn't stay with them is because they didn't do joint cover and Dave and I were spending more by having separate breakdown cover. I've only ever called out the RAC and Green Flag and I've been happy with the service from both of them.

Bet it not as much for a new member,
I used to move each year from AA to RAC then back to AA.
always saved money.

I did an online quote with the AA as a new customer and they were a lot dearer than the RAC and nearly twice as expensive as our renewal quote!

We have ours with Kwik fit this year (they did it as part of our car insurance for free) but not had to call them out, but previously were with autonational rescue who charged about £70 for the year for the gold package, I did call them out once for a home start and they were brilliant.

Haha my wife got the same letter today and I have checked online and a new customer could get joint cover for the price one of us is due to pay. Think its over to the AA for a year,they work out at half price!! Bargain.
