Re: Car Breakdown Insurance.

Mines covered with ford, every time I have my car serviced, it renews the break down cover, it covers everything and includes a hire car should I need it

Re: Car Breakdown Insurance.

Still no wiser about what breakdown insurance covers and how it differs from say AA or RAC membership.

Well worth a ring.
I got my car insured last week with Aviva second year running, includes Green Flag cover at £81.47.

I don't think it does differ. It's just the "membership" is quite often included in your car insurance policy nowadays.

Nothing any different as these breakdown services now just call themselves 'Breakdown Insurance', the service is the same which is all that matters to me the few times I've needed them, usually at a very inconvenient time or place.

Both the AA and RAC also have insurance services. It could be that they might insure against any of us breaking down in much the same way retailers of electrical appliances offer 'insurance cover' via a third party company.

After all that's what happens with most insurance companies who insure us against accidents when driving. They pass on the risk to underwriting companies such as Lloyds of London.

AA and RAC are generally more expensive because they use their own mechanics and vehicles whereas the others are cheaper and use local garages that sign up for the service.
