Good Points

They managed to fix a car once. Three calls over five years. 1st call recovery: no courtesy car.

Bad Points

Left me stranded 200 miles from home once. Slow to respond. They didn't offer the courtesy car which I've paid the premium for. Today they sent a tow truck rather than a mobile mechanic (as promised), leaving the bonus on me to get it fixed at my own dealership. Despite having Nationwide full recovery cover, I was told I'd have to pay to move the car 12.6 miles, because there's a 10 mile limit (applies to some premiums). Someone had pushed the wrong level of cover when logging my call.

General Comments

Poor. Will revert to RAC. Their service is stressful, costly: over and above the premium (if only in calls to sort out admin errors) and aggravating and demeaning to boot. Don't believe that they provide roadside or home-start assistance. I was lucky if I would have seen anything other than a tow-truck.
