Can anybody recommend cheap but reliable breakdown cover, including HomeStart?


MoneySavingExpert always recommends AutoAid, but they have terrible reviews elsewhere by people who have used them, and when I phoned them recently with a query I was less than impressed with the person on the other end of the phone.


I have been with them in the past, but then I hadn't actually needed to call them out .....


I'd rather pay a bit more and get an efficient service if I need it (which I hope I won't).

Thanks and thanks also to the people who PMed me.


I have had a really good quote for Green Flag's Recovery Plus option via my insurance company (Direct Line) which appears to be less than a third what I'd pay if I bought it online via Green Flag's website (will double check I've got this right, obv :)) )


I've been with Green Flag in the past and they've been fine, but they've got very mixed reviews online. However the complaints seem to be more about delays in getting through to their office for admin matters, rather than their actual operational and breakdown service (they use local garages, but so do many others).


Has anybody used them when they broke down, and if so were they reasonably quick and efficient?

Ha ha the person I spoke to at Direct Line had made a mistake, however they are honouring the breakdown quote she gave me for Green Flag, so I'm getting Recovery Plus for ?24 for the coming year :)


Plus any admin stuff I can do through Direct Line, so all good :)


Now let's hope I don't break down (or the car .... :)) )

An offer you can't refuse. I've been with Green Flag for a few years and have used them twice (once for my car and the other for my wife's). Excellent service on both occasions. From memory the first time was a local recovery firm working on behalf of GF. The second was a GF vehicle.

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
