AA Breakdown cover reviews (228)

Rip off

Joined the AA 2 years ago for £129 and never had to use them! 2 years later renewal arrived wanting £186 and with a wasted 45 minutes on the phone I ended up cancelling! I now have full with homestart and everything the full deal for £110 just look at the reviews on driver guardian at trust pilot! Better reviews than AA! I will never join the AA again you will get better level of cover for less don't listen to them they are not the best don't be fooled but they are the most expensive. Reviewed on: 20th October 2016

Gift Membership of Breakdown Cover

As a Dad, I was worried about my daughter who does long days and late evenings in her job as a home care assistant. My concern was if she broke down and I could not get to her i.e. snowed in or at work myself and therefore was left stranded. So I shopped around looking for a gift membership for breakdown cover for her. The only one that I could find was with the AA. I bought the cover as part of her birthday present (the tax for her car is also due around this time :( ) The procedure to get this gift membership was so simple. You rang up gave the details and paid. The gift card membership came within a couple of weeks. Simples !! :D Reviewed on: 10th October 2016

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.
