There is a reason for this poll, and I know I have already done it once but for newer members I thought I would give it another airing (Do I sound like Gary revisiting posts now ?

)
I will let it run for a couple of days and view the results, and I think some of you may have to change !!

I have RAC cover currently but I switch between them and the AA every year so I always get a decent deal.
I paid £39 this year for joint membership because that was the offer they had at the time.
In December i'll switch back to the AA. I did once try GEM for a year, cheap at £19 but I just think it's worth paying that little extra for RAC or AA. Might give Greenflag a go though!

You missed 'Other'
I'm with
Autonational RescueTheir total superservice offers all of the features of the RAC / AA top level cover for £94.00 and that is for cover for Car and Van with any driver. If you only need cover for one car, then it is reduced to £63.00
My RAC renewel fee was for £194.00 for exactly the same level of cover, so i'm pretty happy with the £100 saving, and I also get 15 months cover for the price of 12

I dropped AA because they stopped free recovery following an accident. Before that I was with them for about 6 years, before that RAC for eternity. ( Due to 999 services discount!) I am now with Direct Lines scheme.

off when after about ten a clock you only got a local on call bloke come out who did not even try and fix the problem.

Voted AA, but the Sedona still has Kia's own recovery on it for another year.
I keep the AA up as you can call them out even if you are a passenger in a car that breaks down. Very useful when out with drivers who haven't got cover.

The car is still under the Renault cover so wife uses that only as no-one else drives the van except me, so I only need cover for the van so I went with Green Flag for one MAJOR reason.

RAC for me, I had a MAJOR reason to dismiss Green Flag/Direct line when I broke down, and they failed to deliver on an essential part of their service. Never again for Green Flag.
RAC have been superb when I had to call them out.

I get free AA cover through my bank account, but as I found out a few months ago it doesn't cover the van ( citreon relay).
Which would you guys recommend for commercials?

Well the AA, and I believe the RAC only cover vehicles upto 2.3 tons, the Relay is heavey than that fully loaded, as is my Mercedes so I had to go with Green Flag.
I used them last Sunday morning and was asked my weight (the van, not me personally

)
