Hi and welcome

Sorry can’t help as I have European breakdown cover as part of my van insurance with comfort.
There have been a number of members discussing recovery recently so hopefully be along soon to help

Welcome to the forum.

I also have gone down the Comfort Insurance route.

They (should) know what they are insuring, so they (should) know what type and size of recovery vehicle is required.

Having said which, we recently had a minibus loaded with a 6m canoe trailer, 12 kids and 3 adults lifted from Glasgow to London.

There were a number options the AA could have taken to deal with the issue.
Such as find a Garage in Glasgow open on a Saturday afternoon and do a fix that would have cost £50.
Or they could have hired us a minibus and we could have driven ourselves down.
Or they could have put us all up in the top hotel in Glasgow and flow us down by chartered jet the next day which would have been cheaper than what they chose to do.

What they chose to do (and why should I care, as it's their money) is get three taxis to drive us down to London
£1,100 quid.... each !!!
The van then turned up 5 days later, but they 'lost' the canoe trailer.

By amazing coincidence someone we knew happened to be in South Mimms Service station on the M1 and sent us a photo of our canoe trailer, sitting in the car park, unlocked. £20k+ of kit just sitting in a public place.!!!
It had been there for 3 days apparently !
We got it back next day (at midnight)

Bottom line is for the sake of a £50 repair they preferred to waste well over £5k of members money.

Welcome.
Yes. Many suggestions/discussions in the 'Insurance' forum.
I've used Nationwide for 7 years (two call-outs, both good service) but there are length/weight limitations.
