Rang AA today to cancel the auto renewal and explained why (an extortionate increase) Got the usual guff about them being a premier service etc annd then ran a check over what they could offer me. Came straight back with an offer for the same service only £5 more than I paid last year. Do they really take their customers as idiots In thiis day and age who can afford huge increse they were trying to push. I've calmed down a bit now - Rant over !! It pays to complain !!
Scoop I just packed in the RAC for the same reason. Realised I don’t need breakdown insurance. I now put a monthly amount in a separate account and in three months I already have enough for a breakdown truck to bring me home where a mechanic I CHOOSE will repair. I have a mobile mechanic friend and I can do what I like now. Haven’t broken down in 10 years, would have had enough saved for countless breakdowns. Save your money.
