Shambs - check to see if it the car or you whic is covered. WIth some policies you are covered whatever car you are in. Wit others it is the car which is covered whoever is driving it. Decide which is best for you.
AA were horrible to me ...but that was 10 years ago.
My car was stolen, then found. Police said it was undriveable, so AA towed it to the garage, where I had ( by co incidence) booked to have it serviced the next day.
AA man phoned and claimed I had made up the theft just to have my car delivered for its service. (I was in a state over the car anyway, but that really upset me)
I complained, they apologised, and gave me a years free membership.
Green Flag (or National Breakdown as it was then) were great when I was at uni. It got to the stage that if I was going home for the weekend my Mum would be surprised if I didn't arrive on the back of a breakdown truck!
RAC are not so good if you have a motorbike. They insisted on sending out a van to make sure the fault was what I said it was before they would send out a vehicle that was able to recover the bike.
I had more than a little trouble with my car about two years ago (now have a company car and 'troublesome' one belongs to 'im indoors). Because of said repeated trouble, I got to know most of the AA men in south bucks, I think. Every one of them a sweetheart.
Of course, the trouble stemmed from some faulty AA euqipment in the first call-out, but that's by the by...
have called them out twice and they were nice to me and sorted the car and not at all patronising considering i am the stereotypical female who has no idea about what was wrong with the car

Quick effective and no fuss.

Wouldn't touch them with a bargepole after that.

I think he was having a very bad day, and suspect men in white coats came for him afterwards.
Mr J is with RAC and has found them good.

so i would recommend them on that basis

off to redesign jib
Going by the above it looks as if I'll be joining AA, RAC and Green Flag......
I currently belong to Brittania Rescue as I belong to the CSMA have been impressed with them since 1988 when I got my first car.
Whenever I have broken down (much less often now) they have always got me sorted.
