With the current credit crunch, very few people have the funds available to cope with an unexpected bill, and if that bill is the only way you can get a much needed car back on the road then it becomes an expensive necessity. To help their members protect themselves against these costs the AA has introduced Breakdown Repair Cover.

From less than £6.50 per month AA members can be covered against repair costs following a breakdown, up to the value of £500 per claim including VAT, parts and labour, with just a £25 excess to pay. Cover also allows up to 6 claims per year.

There are three levels of AA Breakdown Repair Cover covering cars, motorcycles (over 50cc), vans (under 3.5 tonnes) and driving school vehicles. For £67 per year AA members can cover a single vehicle under 10 years of age and under 100,000 miles. For single vehicles over 10 years and/or over 100,000 miles the cost is £90. AA members can also purchase Multiple Vehicle Cover for up to 3 vehicles of any age and mileage for £119 per year.
