free Breakdown cover

Has any body ever used the free breakdown cover that you can get with bank accounts, insurances etc
I still pay AA £100 a year and hopefully never use them
seems a waste if the others do the job

I have green flag with lloyds. Costs £7 per month fixed bank charge.
Use it twice in same day for the F1-2. No problems. The 1st time was for water assistance and the second was for recovery of about 40 miles after the head gasket went.

I have Green Flag with my Barclays account. I have used them once and they were great. Fixed my Day Van on the side of the road so I could get home. Perfect.

I have free cover via Barclays.
I think that from June it is provided by RAC.
AFAIK the service is exactly the same as normal members.
You can even upgrade your cover if required

I have a platinum current acct with Lloyds which gives me joint roadside and relay with my wife for free. I have used it with no problems.

I use the RAC, but pay for it with Tesco coupons - ~£35 a year for joint cover (£3 a month!)

i took the one with sureterm's insurance. used them twice and i have to say the service was outstanding.

But a lloyds platinum account is £15 per month, so presumably it depends what services you get versus what you save by not buying them elsewhere?
