Cant remember now and I cant be arsed looking around for it, all I know is it covers me if I break down anywhere in the UK and it covers me if I'm in someone elses car and it breaks down so it's enough for me

they are the AA
they were a bit funny about lees nova saying the value of the vehicle wasnt enough to warrant repatriation back to uk (800 euros)
wasnt until someone down the recovery yard mentioned the engine alone was worth the cash did they agree to it

Are you with HSBC? A friend has a business account with HSBC offering free breakdown cover and as we found out the hard way, they will only cover vehicles upto a certain age

thats the same i've heard somewhere else, they didn't think the value of vehicle made it worth recovering

RAC don't cover trackdays if it breaks Steve and it seems will not recover you if they suspect you've been on track. A lad broke his diff at PVS this year, managed to drive a couple of miles to tesco, cleaned the numbers off but when RAC turned up they refused to recover it because there was rubber up the sides and he said it's obviously been at Pod.
I've got family cover with AA, covers upto 5 people at the same address, personal cover, national recovery but without the home start for £132, big advantage being is they'll cover trackdays as long as it is just a mechanical breakdown and not a crash
