Always had AA Breakdowns cover since I passed my driving test 9 years ago and they've always been so helpful when I unfortunately need them. Reviewed on: 21st July 2017

Stuck on the road with a blown tyre with my baby in the rain for hours on a bend waiting for my recovery. AA man comes and helps me to safety in my car I soon changed insurers and was blown away by the kind man. Amazing company and lovely people that work for them. I will now always stick with this company. Reviewed on: 15th July 2017

There are a few reasons why I prefer to use the AA above any other company for breakdown assistance, but the main one is a memory from my childhood when my dad broke down in his Rover SD1. He was an RAC member at the time and duly called them out. After a couple of hours waiting and still no sign of the RAC, an AA patrolman stopped and asked if he could help. 10 minutes later the car was fixed and we were back on our way! I've always remembered this and still believe to this today that the AA offer a far better service than anyone else. Reviewed on: 22nd June 2017

Missed Payment

After missing one monthly payment due to losing my job they cancelled my cover. I was a gold member at the time and had been with the AA for over 10 years. I thought I was a good customer paying nearly £50 a month Reviewed on: 30th May 2017
