Phoned to cancel the policy because it was going to cost Â£153.50. I explained it was too expensive and that two of our cars already have a recovery package in place.

RAC response:
"Thanks for being a good customer, we will renew exactly the same policy (Roadside & Recovery & at home for myself and the wife) for Â£47.02"

Thats riddiculous how can they warrent charging you over Â£100 more in the first place.

just goes to show what they could do...

always threaten to cancel to see the response...nobody likes losing customers so why not use it to our advantage?

I do it every year. Same conversation but with a much better saving this year for some reason. They normally knock off Â£40-Â£50

So in theory they should be paying you by now?

HSBC do a plus account too, which I think is Â£10 or Â£11 a month which includes breakdown cover and family holiday insurance. I'm going to look into that a bit further I think
