Hi,
I would be grateful for recommended recovery companies, biggest risk I have is breaking down on the motorway which is potentially dangerous as well as being expensive to be recovered from if not a member of a recovery company.

Any suggestions?

Surely if you're worried about breaking down 100 odd quid each year on aa recovery is a good idea?
Exactly which is why I've requested suggestions...

AutoExpress did a review earlier this year which may help you decide:

BTW - I've been with Britannia Rescue for around 20 years, never had reason to change and with four cars up to 50+ years old I probably call them out on average three times a year.

Thank you RileyBlue and F1NN - sensible answers rather than the immediate challenges which seem to be favoured PH responses.

I'll have a look at the review website - practical experience is another thing I'm after.

The primary reason for asking is because I feel I've been very lucky over the years and would rather be prepared than not. Recovery from motorway is my primary concern but getting the car to the destination or other safe place is also useful - I might not be able to repair it at the time.
