Hi folks,

Anybody any experience of getting breakdown cover on older cars?

I was with the AA for ages, then changed to RAC after AA tried to screw me over on renewal. RAC are trying to do the same now but I noticed that they have a limit of 15 years on the age of the car!!

Our household cars are 2008, 2004 (main two), 1999, 1997, & 1990.

Also want to get joint cover for both of us. Don't need Euro cover or onward travel, but would like homestart and relay. My cover last year was £140 and it has miraculously jumped to £180.

Do I need to do some calling around or are there fixed prices?

I've never had any problems with Britannia Rescue coming out to my Rileys, currently a '63 and previous to that a '54.

Insure your cars with ClassicLine, all of their policies include European breakdown cover and recovery as standard.

Very much this. They also do joint policies with one renewal, if you happen to have a fleet of old girls tucked away.
