Before you renew
make sure that you have the appropriate level of cover that is going to give you the best value and is gonna cover you for exactly what you need. You be surprised how many people get this wrong. I spoken to a lot of people who have taken out individual memberships for same people in the same household. If two people within the same household of two separate joint accounts you can save money by having joint AA breakdown cover. The same can be said for family members to if there’s more than to view in the household one family membership from the AA will save you money over taking out individual memberships for each and every member.
Also you want to make sure that you’re protected for exactly what you need. All levels of breakdown cover from the AA come with roadside assistance. But roadside assistance does not give you cover at your home address. You need to more than quarter of a mile away from your home. Just think for a moment what you do if you can get the car started in the morning would be important or could you do without it. Once you’ve fought about that situation and what you do can get to work or take the kids to school you need to weigh up whether you would benefit from having AA home start. The other fingers with just the basic roadside assistance you want to be towed back home if you are a long distance away. The tour that you get with roadside assistance local tow of up to 10 miles. If you want to be covered nationwide to be taken back home if you’re car can’t be repaired you going to need national recovery.
