Great cover

So quick at helping when you break down couldn't recommend more just a bit expensive Reviewed on: 7th October 2016

Cheap and Chearfull

AA have saved me a couple of times with friendly and fast service. Going out of there way to get me back on the road. When broken down on a Sunday they took me home and organised collection of my car the following day. They have good customer service and beat the best renewal price with another company because I already had home insurance with them. Plus recently they offered a free AA local guide.

Backup for when your car breaksdown.

Me and my partner have been a member of AA breakdown for years and luckily have only had to call them out once. Knowing you can get them out when you breakdown is really good plus my 16 yr old son is named on the policy so if he is in car and it breaks down he can call them to get him and the car home safe.

Reliable company

I have been with AA for the past 10 years. They always give me their support within a maximum of 15 minutes and their staff are always very friendly. Once my car skidded on a muddy field and was stuck in the mud and couldn't move, the AA man came by himself and quickly resolved the problem and reassured me. AA really are worth the extra break down insurance cost. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015
