Just had my AA family breakdown cover renewal come through. I just have roadside and relay. 4 people covered, any car. £234!!! That's double what it was last year. It was less (£207) if I went as a new customer so not much loyalty there! We've never had cause to use it since we took it out two years ago so its not like I'm a bad customer. The same cover with the RAC is £164. If I buy that through a cashback site I get £78 back bringing it down to £86. Guess who I'll be going with this year.

Who are you using?

Get AA cover through our Halifax Ultimate Reward account, £10 a month for:

- AA cover for both of us including Home Start
- Worldwide travel insurance
- Mobile phone insurance
- Home emergency cover

Plus they don't charge us a fee if we go into our overdraft for the first £50, unlike standard Halifax accounts where its £1 a day as soon as your 1p in the red.

My main criteria for the breakdown insurance is family cover (there's 4 of us) and relay. You don't get family cover or relay with the halifax ultimate reward, just roadside and home start for the account holder(s).

Shifted away from AA a couple of years ago when they hiked the price on renewal to a preposterous level. Now have cover with Green Flag provided through Nationwide FlexPlus acct. Never had to use them yet so don't know how good they will be but never used the AA either and that cost a lot more!!

Steve, these have been getting great reviews, this link is for 4 people cover.

I always do the same with the RAC and they always reduce too.....currently still paying the same as I did 4 years ago. Renewal due again soon so the annual fun will resume again! 2011 SD4 HSE Auto

Having said I've never had to use the breakdown service which is a feature of my current account, today my wife's car refused to start outside the house. Gave Nationwide Insurance number a ring and an hour later a nice man came and fixed the problem (very minor in the end).Would have towed the car to the Toyota garage in the next town if needed - Great service!

I am not interested in doing their advertising for them but I am really impressed with the deal on this account. Looking at the figures quoted by other members here the breakdown service alone is worth more than I pay for the account, the world wide travel insurance also worth a bob or two!

There's a thing, thought Toyota's were impervious to failure, or is that an urban myth  my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis
2012 HSE SD4 In Orkney Grey now gone, best car ever.

I admit I hate it, like traveling in a bean can but it's a 13 years old Yaris and this is the first time it has EVER failed in any way which is more than I can say for the Vauxhalls, BMWs and even my beloved Freelander that I have owned in the same time period!!!
