    My sister just got her first car.
    She can only get 3rd party and is not covered for breakdown assistance
    I would like to gift her this for piece of mind.
    I've checked out AA and the 99e gift card for road cover is a little too pricey for my budget

    Can anyone recommend any other good road side assistance?
    Or Ideas?

    Cheers

    Not sure if they do it direct. All Insurers generally go through mapfree. Try WWW.irelandassist.com and see if they can help.

    I know you said AA was pricey but they are just brilliant in my opinion. In the year I have had the E30 I have had to get it put onto a flatbed 3 times at the side of the road and each time they have just been excellent to deal with.

    I used car insurance to get a flatbed tow once to get my car from the house to the garage was my slave cylinder went. They were not very say 'gentle' putting the car on it to say the least, it was not fully straight going on and they put the towing eye in and dragged the car around to make it straight :eek:

    I chewed the head off them would never use them again :mad:

    Cheers for that,
    I've heard the AA are great, their gift roadside cover is just out of my league at the moment

    Any other ideas for useful gifts for a first car?

    Honestly - your time!

    Show her how to do the levels etc, it's something that for some reason women seem to be allergic or scared of doing, it's not really that hard once your shown how to do it properly in the first place.

    And it won't cost you a penny ;)


    And since its your sister a pink furry dice :P
