AUTO AID recovery
Discussion
Interesting.
I am with the RAC, so just to add balance...
I've actually had some pretty good service from them over the years. As I've had a number of old land rovers, I made significant use of them including Birmingham to Surrey twice over 2 weeks for a faulty fuel pump (Beware cheap ebay LR parts...).
Many years ago I ****ed a DIY job and had to give up and take to a garage. Whilst clearly not a break down, I asked the RAC nicely if they would transport the car to a garage and they agreed as a good will gesture.
Worth noting that my cover includes both my children (full time education), so with the 4 of us on the policy make it better value. Looks like Autoaid would need 3 policies.
When renewal arrives, I do have to ring up and say "HOW MUCH?" and they then give me a discount to make it sensible.
I can't see if they include motorcycles with the car cover?

The MSE link apparently expires 31/03, although I dare suggest the take up means something similar will be out soon after.
£43 for 2 people (not cars) for 15 months, unless you have it with your bank account (for which you may be paying more than £40/ year already) it's crazy not to have this.
The home start limit is a notional £65 of work, which probably means a quick fiddle, wheel swap, battery charge, or just taking you to a garage. Which is less effort than you'd get from the AA (ime), but it's probably enough with most cars.

I`ve been with Auto Aid for a good few years now, 10 I think.
Called them 4 times & only time I had an issue was when I shredded a tyre in Kent & they had to low loader me home on 2 trucks because the 1st was not LEZ compliant, 2nd truck was waiting for us at Lakeside Services though so probably only added 20 mins to overall journey.
They no longer require you to pay for recovery etc.

I use them too - Autonational Rescue wanted two policies to cover my two cars! £170 vs £35 with AutoAid.
I've only ever used my autoaid membership once, the clutch release bearing gave up and the whole clutch was toast. I rang them up and said I needed recovery home as it wouldn't be fixed by the roadside and that was that, never even told them what the fault was, they never asked and the recovery guy wasn't interested either. So in my case if I broke down again in the same car they would never know if it was the same fault anyway.gnc said:
auto aid worked for me. didnt have to pay. they wont cover the same fault on the same car twice though.
What do you mean? If I break down with a faulty alternator, get it replaced and the new ones fails in 3 days time they're gonna tell me to jog on? Just an arse covering clause to weed out the egregious intermittent fault bangernomics piss takers IMO.
