BMW rescue

[akkers5]

I believe BMW warranty comes with some form of road-side assist and rescue; is that correct?

If yes, how does it compare with AA or RAC?

I already have RAC membership with recovery. Should I cancel this and stick with BMW.

Yes and in my experience much better than competitors.
Example, I had an injector issues didn't see why i should risk a drive to a dealer.
Tech was called for home visit. He was going to be late. I said I had an urgent trip. Brand new 3 series hire car delivered within the hour.

Mine has BMW road assist, and both are cars have road assist through insurer (NFU Mutual). I phoned RAC to cancel, and they suggested continue as a member with £5 annual subscription and some minimal coverage for the other car.

Does the BMW assist include recovery to destination or home?

Can anyone help pls. Does it include recovery.

My RAC renewal has come up and I dont want to renew if BMW service includes recovery.

Is this a new car warranty, AUC warranty or Insured warranty? If the BMW Insured warranty, are you paying extra for the breakdown cover (it's about £15/month extra).

Which 'emergency service' package do you have with your warranty (full or essential)?

BMW INSURED EMERGENCY SERVICE ESSENTIAL
Key benefits:

• Unlimited call outs anywhere in the UK or Republic of Ireland
• Roadside fix or recovery to your nearest BMW Retailer
• Cover includes breakdown at home
• A fixed price of £69.00 for 12 months cover
• Available for vehicles up to 10 years old with a mileage of less than 100,000 miles

BMW INSURED EMERGENCY SERVICE

• Assistance in the event of an emergency on the road, at home or elsewhere
• Coverage anywhere in the UK, Republic of Ireland and Continental Europe
• Extensive network of Emergency Service centres manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year

• Can be purchased on its own or in conjunction with BMW Insured Warranty

The more detailed terms & conditions can be found in the policy handbooks linked in the titles above.

They both include recovery, but the area of cover differs.
