Motoring Organisations

   Breakdown and Rescue

There are 4 major motoring organisations in the UK who all offer comprehensive Breakdown and Rescue services. Some cover a specific car others cover the person irrespective of the car they are travelling in. They all offer various levels of breakdown assistance at increasing levels of cost.

Automobile Association (AA)
Royal Automobile Club (RAC)
National Breakdown
Green Flag

Many motor insurance companies offer breakdown cover with the above organisations as part of their insurance packages but at an additional premium. However, sometimes it is cheaper to deal directly with the motoring organisations.
 

Other services

Although most of us use one of the motoring organisations mainly for breakdown and recovery they all offer a comprehensive range of other motoring services, including:-  

Travel Guides and Route Planning.
Vehicle Inspections - prior to buying a potentially rogue car.
Hotel Recommendations.
Motor Insurance and much, much more. Check their websites for more information.
