Breakdown Get You Home insurance

[Retro Pedro]

Just had my Frank Pickles insurance newal and they can't get the 'Breakdown Get You Home' cover anymore.
Any pointers on who's door I can bang on that will give me just that cover. I have renewed with Frank Pickles for my standard insurance cover, hence wanting a stand alone get you home insurance.
Previously Frank Pickles got me RAC cover to £60 per annum on the truck only.

Cheers for reply's guys
AutoAid looks interesting - just need to check out the small print to make sure there's no maximum ceiling involved with the get you home element. Reading between the lines, don't looks like they have a national fleet of recovery vehicles to pay for as part of their overheads, just call in the service when required, hence the competitive price. The pay yourself and they reimburse within 14 days is the reason that I totally need to check out any limits on cover - wouldn't want to be caught out after laying out aload of money for a recovery and then get told you're only covered to X amount.

The Greenflag quote came in at £74 for my motor.

I think I pay £10 a month for me and the wife on a personal policy ( any car not just our own vehicles )

I pay a little short of £6 pm for RAC cover for full UK cover except Homestart. Thats personal cover for any vehicle I'm in though.

Don't know if it's limited to how many times in a year you can use it though.

RAC Mate, they have over the years done us okay and the cover is for any vehicle you or a family member is in (you need the family deal of course). Youngest was a passenger in one of her mates car last year, the car broke down near Portsmouth, they recovered it and the driver all the way back to Yorkshire dropping her off at home in Brize Norton on the way. Well chuffed with the service.

Franks Pickles used to use RAC for my breakdown get you home cover Frank. I took a chance last year and didn't take up the option. For the first time since owning the Fronty, last year saw the situation where I would have needed the cover if the option of doing the repairs up Greg's place hadn't been an option (brake pipe failure).
Going to have a look at kicking the existing AA breakdown policy into touch because it seems that have a knack of offering another bolt on service for an additional premium. If I took the 'get you home' option rather than recovery to the nearest garage they would be taking me for over £200 per annum.
