Slight digression, but I've just renewed my policy with Privilege, including breakdown cover again.

BUT the question for people here is, who do you use for breakdown cover? For D2's.

We've actually continued with "Personal Cover" (via Privilege, i.e. Green Flag)which seems to be the most flexible and cost-effective way to cover 2 drivers and 2 cars, but that won't work at the next renewal.

They have an age limit on vehicles you're in of 16 years and (oddly) my D2 was first registered in October 2003 so will be fine up to the next renewal.

The other car is a Volvo so gets an element of breakdown cover via them as long as we keep maintaining it at a Volvo dealer.
