Most bank premium bank accounts will give you it for free, £5 per month for a halifax account and we get full breakdown inc home start, mobile phone cover and world wide family travel insurance. There are a few more bits you get bit I can't remember those :smiley:

My daughter had a bank account which cost her a monthly sum to get free stuff (like, it's not free if you have to pay to get it for free...). She had breakdown cover and needed it one day so phoned the number, only to be told that she wasn't covered for breakdowns unless she was 50 miles from home. On checking the rest of the free stuff, most of it was worthless as well.
Sarcasm for free. Anything after that can only be considered as a bonus.

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.

Tried that as i've not called them out for 12 months but they just will not budge on the renewal price. It was recomended by the rather helpful chap i stop with to cancel my policy and take a new one. This is what i have done  :smiley:
