    Was renewing my car insurance today which I have through the AA. I let my AA membership go a few years back as it was gone too expensive. They told me if I signed back up I could get free home start and get 2 people covered for the cost of 1. Probably not much use to anyone who’s already a member, but anyone thinking of signing up should definitely give them a ring.

    Not a bad deal - but just a tip - check you're not already covered for breakdown assistance by your car insurance, or a "breakdown assist for a year with every service" deal with a main dealer garage.

    Do you not need to be living at the same address?

    Thing with AA though, is that it covers YOU. So if you're a passenger, the car you're in is also covered. Handy feature that!

    Just a word of warning...read the small print. If you're not on the highest, most expensive/premium cover aka rescue plus.. you'll only be towed a max of 15kms when they can't fix it by the roadside. Not very useful when you're stuck in the middle of nowhere deep in the beara. Driver asked me for €60 to be towed to a decent garage 27kms from where I broke down

    Most breakdown assists don't even attempt fixing at roadside, simply tow to garage

    Why do people buy this when most Insurance policies offer cover ?

    3rd party typically wouldn't.

    I've had trade insurance for years but losing it this month unfortunately as there are way too many extra terms and it's only gone up again.

    I'm not paying €2000.

    I got no break down and got it much cheaper online on breakdown cover .ie
