Breakdown cover

All,
Just bought first Alfa - 1999(t) 1.8 TS Lusso.
I am sorting things like insurance and breakdown cover. For the latter,
can any recommend either of the main 3 - RAC, AA, GreenFlag ?? Are any
better with Alfas than the others ?? Greenflag is the cheapest so the
obvious choice, but cheap aint always best.....

Congratulations.
I used National Breakdown / Green Flag for years and on four occasions
that I needed them they were great. Plus I liked the fact that the car was
covered and not the driver, so who ever was driving it didn't matter.

When I bought my Alfa it came with 3 years AA free, so I cancelled my
GreenFlag cover. I have never needed to test the AA response <G>
One could infer that as all Alfa's come with AA cover, they should know how
to fix one. On the other hand...... <LOL>

Thanks. Heard good things about GreenFlag and they are the cheapest.
Looks like they'll be getting my cash.
On another note - I have found insurance unbelievable ! Used
confused.com to get quotes - cheapets is Admiral with £600, but the most
expensive is £1700 !! The range is crazy! Tries Chris Knott too, best
they could do it £800..

YMMV - age, location, etc., will make a huge difference to mine :-)
£360 fully comp, protected no-claims.
