My insurance is up for renewal & I've decided that this time I'm not taking breakdown cover with, as you only get a very basic cover that's more expensive than going direct with either if the above, so who would you recommend for a basic breakdown cover for 1 vehicle, AA is a bit more expensive & only 2 call outs a year but does have a lot of member Benefits in money off at places, rac is cheaper by about £3 , no Benefits but I can't find a limit on call outs .

Try Green Flag for quote.
A motorsport colleague/friend who runs a large independent recovery business advised me on Green Flag.
Best cover and price when I checked online.
I will need cover from later next month when FL2 is 3 years old. Buying LR warranty but added LR assist is extortionate. All FL2's (3) Gone
2011 Mercedes C180 CGI Gone
FL2 GS Auto SD with heated leather, factory tints, alloy spare and a few other bits.

When I had RAC a few years back it was 3 call outs in one year, I was with them for 21 years and never used them once.

autonational or serach via Martin Lewisis website or gocomparethemeerkat
Got full euro recovery for £75 not that you need it on a landrover
Also have breakdown recovery on two vehicles on a deal I have had years with autonational £15 each.

Worth looking at the package Nationwide offer with some accounts.

My warranty is running out and looked at recovery options as the FL2 is worth keeping when compared to Eurotrash.

They charge £10 a month and give some interest up to £2,500 in the account benefits include breakdown cover for UK and Europe and Travel Insurance etc for my wife and I.
My last annual travel insurance renewal was heading North of £200 and excluded the good old USA and ski-ing so add in what the AA or RAC would charge for me its a good £120 spent.

GEM motoring assist seems to be getting the best reviews and good deals too.

Have a look at autoaid. I've signed up again this year after my 3 year warranty ran out. You pay on credit card and claim back but cheque is usually with you in a week. I've used it twice with a previous car.

+1 for the Nationwide account. 12MY 61plate FL2 TD4 auto GS Orkney Grey Roof spoiler full size spare

Gone 07 Dodge Caliber 1.8 black
51 Nissan Primera
K Isuzu Trooper 3.1 SWB Citation

Just looking at the link and they appeared to have upgraded the cover to recovery and home assist.

I went for AA cover for £10 a month its also now covered for garage & parts upto £500 5 times a year if needed, hopefully it won't though

+1 for Nationwide account - travel and breakdown insurance worth every penny of the £120 annual fee.

If not interested in changing bank accounts, very possible I imagine, then would second Green Flag as an option.

I found AA expensive and ever more costly at each renewal - decided the charges were simply not worth it.

I've always been happy with Britannia Rescue - they use local garages for their repair/recovery services and ae most helpful. Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto
Tricia's - 2006 Royal Blue Beetle Cabriolet Auto
Mine - 2014 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport Matt Black
Ours - 2007 White Bailey Pageant Champagne
