Breakdown cover - new customer price vs renewal

[Marf]

I'm with a Really Awesome Company for my breakdown and have no complaints with the service. They've always been prompt and the drivers friendly and knowledgeable. No interest in moving companys

Currently paying £14 per month or £168 a year for Recovery and At home.

Just looking on line as my renewal is up next month, and I can get the same + onward travel for £115!

Is this common practice? Tempted to say don't renew and then just buy the new cover on the website.

I had the same with the AAmazing bunch.

The downside if you let it expire and restart as a new customer is the lower number of call out limits.

Hmm some phone negotation is in order then methinks!

It certainly is I'm afraid. The issue of duel pricing covers all types of insurances.
You may also want to try cashback sites too. My AA renewal came through at £145. Re-quoting as a new customer worked out at about £108 and then if you do it via topcashback.co.uk you get about another £50 cashback on top! So I've manged to cut my renewal by about to thirds. Very happy with that.

I swap every year between AA and RAC, via cashback sites normally ends up costing me abotu £50-60 a year..

There's a PH'r on here that does full euro cover for £60..

Wangled a discount and increased coverage level.

Nice.
