Anyone any suggestions on breakdown cover. Both my moderns are covered as part of the lease. I have two classics and due to making an insurance claim several years ago and some subsequent BS at renewal I had to change company to one that doesn’t offer the inclusive European breakdown I always previously got. The reason for changing company was that P J insurance suddenly decided my occupation was not covered even though my vehicles were not covered for business use anyway.

What I am looking for is initially a nationwide breakdown and home recovery for two vehicles.

Who do you guys use?

LV / Britannia Rescue Personal Cover covers me and O/H in whatever car we're in even if we're not driving. Not the cheapest but I've found them to be very efficient. The only time I've had cause to complain (I was kept waiting over four hours one wet winter's night) they apologised and the next year was f.o.c.

I had the RAC out to my XK when the clutch slave cylinder went, the guy was thrilled, he said it was the first time he'd got his imperial spanners out in all the years he'd been on the vans.

Auto Aid.
You are covered (and spouse) whatever car you are driving.
About £50 a year. Well worth it. I have used them when the tip broke off my key in the ignition. My wife when she wrote off the Jag. My son (his own policy) when his Mini failed to proceed... No issues.
