Breakdown Cover?

Britannia Rescue?
I get mine included in my insurance (Via Carole Nash)

This, although in my case it's through CSMA.

I've nothing but praise for them in the few occasions that I've needed them over the last decade or so - always come quickly, generally listen to what I say and don't waste my time sending a noddy van if I've told them that it needs a flatbed, and price wise they're quite reasonable in terms of cost/cover when you compare to the big names.

I certainly wouldn't spend my money on an AA membership judging from my (limited) previous experience of them and some of the horrors friends have experienced. They seem fine for anything that can be fixed at the roadside, but as soon as it comes to recovering the car it seems to go pear-shaped. The two that spring to mind are a friend that ended up taking nearly nine hours to be recovered home and left for hours in the middle of the night on her own, and another who's car they lost when they recovered it - it was only "found" a couple of days later when the Peugeot dealer 40 miles in the opposite direction to where it was meant to be getting recovered phoned asking what they were meant to be doing with the car that had been left on their forecourt...

Can I add a broken driveshaft to that? Van came, he got out, looked, phoned a tow truck and went away again. Easiest 35 seconds of work ever......

Or in my case, broken driveshaft and the AA towed me on a hard bar (i.e. on its wheels) despite my suggestion that it might not be a good idea... as you can imagine, the resulting noise and vibration as the 'shaft tore itself and everything in the vicinity to bits was "interesting"

(it was a discourtesy car I was driving hence zero s**ts given - had it been my own car, I'd have flatly refused unless I'd had an agreement in writing that they would cover the resulting damage in full)
