I'm after some opinions on breakdown cover.
I used to have AA when i had my DT and before i took my 6 off the road.
I had to use them twice and both times they were utterly tragic. Always got some third party contractor instead of the AA and always took hours upon hours.
They never listened when i told them they couldn't fix it by the side of the road, they always ignored me and it then took hours and hours to get a flatbed to tow the car away.
Now, I've been doing a lot of miles recently and although i don't have any concerns about the 6, it is, after all, french. Therefore it would probably be a good idea to be covered.
I didn't really want to go with the AA again, given my 2 previous poor experiences.
I'm thinking of my options, AA/RAC/Greenflag..?
The level of cover i want:
- Roadside assistance (comes as standard)
- A National recovery type thing. Where regardless of where i am, they will take me+car to wherever i want (I.e, back home, or my fathers) and not force me to a garage within 10miles or any of that crap.
- Cover my rather than the car, as it means i can help anyone else who needs it
Anyone got any opinions on where to go, who is decent? Price isn't a major factor as i'd rather not wait 6 hours to get home from a breakdown, if it was to happen.
