We all hear stories about huge recovery bills, bills that have to be paid when a person breaks down without cover. It is these stories that put the fear of god into us subsequently urging us to keep our subscriptions going. You get none of this with PAYG as the rates are there online for us all to see. Consumers can find out exactly what they will be asked to pay before making any form of contact. Standard rates are £50+Vat for 30 minutes roadside assistance and 20 miles of all round recovery. Extra recovery miles are charged out at the rate of £1.50p per mile. The AA charges £4.99 for membership and £80 per call out. National Breakdown charges the consumer £10 for membership with no recovery rates advertised. I know which one I would prefer! We recommend buying your favorite at super low prices with free shipping, and you can also pick up your order at the store on the same day.
