Iv'e been to the Meerkats and the cheapest quote is £39 a year . Cover is as follows :

What's included?
Roadside assistance
Local recovery
Nationwide recovery
Onward journey
Hotel
Car hire
Caravan/trailer cover

Is there a cheaper one that anyone knows of or is this a good deal 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Try rescue my car. Com

I paid £39 this year for any car, and that included nationwide recovery. I had to use them last year and they were very good! You do have to pay a £40 excess though which would make it expensive if used more than once!

I pay about £90 to AA for joint membership for Mrs TB and I. Covers any vehicle (non commercial) we're in.

It was useful when I had the bike, as a puncture on that always means a tow home. Now I don't have the bike, I need to reconsider my options at renewal.

Be aware that some "car" policies only cover cars up to 10yrs old, which was another reason I had to go for a "member" policy.

That is very cheap for that cover.
Before you go any further, you need to read the terms and conditions. I suspect that you'll need to buy some new paper and ink cartridges for your printer first.

Yes , before the quotes came up it asked for the age of vehicle so the quote is for my car at 13 yrs old  I thought this was a good policy with the cover it gives + a hire car included 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Sounds a good deal, Any idea who its with ?

[MR MISTER]

I recently joined the AA. It was reasonable and I had no choice because my orlando has no spare and I don't fancy getting stuck when my pot of glue doesn't work.

Surely you can't get cheaper than that ?

I pay a lot more, and I mean A LOT more with the AA. But I have every option available and with a 10 year old Miggy I get my moneys worth !  Called them out twice just this year

1. Coil pack
2. Puncture and I hadn't checked that there was a jack in my recently bought car

Although the AA are good,operators are a bit thick,for example called them to recover car Saturday,
Operated,what's problem with car?
Me,cambelt shredded.
Operated,has it been checked by a professional mechanic?
Me,no I've removed a bolt from cam cover,pulled cover forward and can see its shredded.
Operator,are you a mechanic.
Me,err no but that's the problem.
Operated,we have to send you a tech out to you to see what problem is.
Me.err ok whatever.

Didnt smell like that in the car though  AA operator sent the wrong van out also

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!
