I have just been quoted £43.31 for Auto Aid breakdown cover.
This will cover me and the Mrs and any car as long as one of us is the driver and will recover the car to a destination of my choice.
I haven't heard of them before and it seems a bit of a bargain.
Does anyone know of any negatives.

Thanks.

I think the only downside is that when you need a call out, you have to pay for that callout and then recover the cost from AutoAid. A bit of a ball ache to be fair.
I had heard that, however I think that has now changed this is from their website.

Important changes to your AutoAid policy
With immediate effect you are no longer required to pay for the breakdown assistance services provided by this policy and then reclaim them from AutoAid.
If you require breakdown assistance please call our 24 hour helpline on 0800 328 4439 or 01277 720700. AutoAid will deal directly with the recovery agent regarding any costs and you will not be required to pay the recovery agent at the roadside.
The procedure described on Page 8 of your Policy Booklet (Claims Procedure) no longer applies to breakdown assistance services.

Many thanks to everyone for your replies.
Looks to me like the AutoAid 15 months for the price of 12 is the "no brainer".

For what its worth, with Green Flag the price is £104.16 for the same cover.
