Breakdown Cover

Ask a Question

Car breakdown cover is up for renewal. At the moment I'm looking at going with AXA (£53.88), Auto Aid (£59.99) or Dynamo Cover (£40.25). All have fairly mixed reviews on Trust Pilot.

Anyone got any experience with any of these or can suggest any others that are good and hopefully around the same price?

Thanks in advance

I've been with Start Rescue for the last 4 years . Haven't had to use them myself ( Touch wood !) but they have excellent reviews . Currently 15% Cashback on Topcashback , might be worth a look ? I'm currently paying about £26 a year for the whole works , home start ,rescue , recovery etc .

lornaae Another vote for Start rescue from me as you get a good overall level of cover at a decent price , Currently I pay about £34 per year for Rescue, Recovery & Home start .

Mango4 glad to hear another good vote for Start Rescue! If you don’t mind how did you get it for that price?

lornaae Bought it about 4 years ago and they give a no claims bonus each year . As its a Start Rescue NCB it doesn't carry over to another provider , so each year at renewal when I have compared it's been the cheapest . It may also be that I have a fairly newish car .

As I say I can't vouch for how good they are in practise as I've never had to call them out.

Golfforall Mango4 are you still using Start Rescue? Do you have any experience negotiating renewal price with them? They’ve quoted me £59.12 for my renewal

lornaae Yes I still am . Wasn't impressed with the renewal price (including no claims bonus ) , so got a new policy with them (via TCB ) which ended up much cheaper . Sadly last year certain LD Hunters were not comparing like with like 🙄.
