Hi all,
I'm looking to move from the RAC for vehicle breakdown cover as they have become v expensive - does anyone have any recommendations please?
I just want pretty basic cover but with home start too.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

So odd you should say this, I was thinking the same as RAC put mine up to £20 a month. I've never used them but it's sods law I will need to the moment I cancel. |  |

I'm with auto aid. Had to use it for the first time the other week. Remote car keys stopped working on 5th floor of a multistorey. Local garage turned up within half an our and sorted us out. Money Saving Expert has some comparisons. |  | | |

Yep - had to make use a couple of times and they've always been excellent. |  |

See what notice you have to give to leave, and get breakdown cover included with your next car insurance. Saved me a bit this year. |  | | |

Also some premium bank accounts offer breakdown. It worked for us when we had annual travel insurance for 2, car breakdown for 2 drivers, phone and gadget cover for us and the kids as a bundle worth more than the monthly charge. | | | |

I've been using START for the past few years now.
Very reasonable plus free Legal Cover which, although is as much use as the paper it's printed on, is something most of usually buy for around the 25 quid mark alongside our insurance anyway.
On average my breakdown policy has been between £35-£45 for the past 5 years with a free policy worth £25.
In other words my breakdown has been pennies and the cover is fine.
Roadside + relay + home start.
Whoever you choose please double check the cover as it varies. Make sure it gets you home if that's what you want. Otherwise you could be looking at nearest garage and all that.*

AA cover. They will give you an introductory discount as a new customer. We have claimed for quite a lot of silly breakdowns really and always get good service so have stuck with them. Should get change out of £30 per month. | | | |

£30 a month?
Have you read the thread bud?
He wants breakdown cover, not insurance. | |

I suspect this might vary by area, but as somebody who has recovered vehicles for most of the options excluding AA across London for the last 2 years (no more as from today, hooray) my only advice would be do not go with the RAC. They have by far and away the longest wait time out of all those I've worked with, and I'm talking hours more on average not 30 mins or so either.
Anybody in London my reccomendation would be Green Flag, by far the quickest and most efficient service, though as I say, it will vary by area. |  |
