Sounds a good deal, Any idea who its with ?

startrescue.co.uk    + we will get the latest meerkat for the collection 

But you will have to go through the Meerkat's to get a free toy 

I thought you only got a meerkat when you bought insurance?

You mite be right kate but sure ive had a few meerkats from breakdown insurance 

Meerkats are worth £40 a piece

I'm jealous, I've only got 3.

I'm going to buy a second car just so I can get another meerkat.

Here you go! I've just got a quote from rescuemycar.com and for a 13 year old car the quote comes in at £18.90 for everything but home assistance and £28.90 with home assistance! 

As said earlier they were very efficient when I broke down last year, but beware of the £40 excess!! The first thing they do when you phone for help is ask for a card number! 

However if you don't use them, it's very cheap peace of mind!

That is an amazing price.  You need to read the small print but on first glance it looks no worse than some others at over double the price.  e.g. National cover is often not what you might want, in this case

"National
if your vehicle is not repairable at a local garage within the same working day, we will either; recover you, your vehicle and your passengers to your home or original destination, provide alternative travel for you and your passengers to your home or original destination or provide alternative accommodation for you and your passengers."

I can't imagine they will choose to recover the vehicle over the other two options very often (it is their choice not yours).  I expect a lot of people here would prefer recovery to their home at their own choice so they can fix it themselves at their leisure.

I only have one, well Miss Vamps has it, another on the way at the moment because just done home insurance, 2 cars to insure in next couple of weeks - Christmas boxes for Miss Vamps................

They won't be worth money for years......

Last year they recovered me from The Rhondda Valleys to West Dorset via a local garage in Pontypridd where the 'mechanic' declared the injector pump was kaput and I'd have to leave it with them.  When I said that I wanted to be recovered home they sorted it with rescuemycar and the car was back on the truck and I was on my way in just over an hour. 

When I got home we unloaded it and I left her parked facing down the steep hill, went in and had a cuppa, came back out and she started up after a bit of cranking! I had air getting into the system and had stupidly left her parked facing uphill....
