Huge Amount Of Green Flag Calls

Filed under: green flag — admin @ 6:40 pm

If you were in the car breakdown cover business you should be making some serious money at the moment with emergency call outs, even though we knew the weather was coming no one expected to be so bad or last so long.  But of course if you were not in the business and was a normal driver then being a member of a car breakdown cover such like Green Flag could have and probably did in many cases saved the day.  The amount of calls for all the emergency services has gone off the clock with thousand of calls being received even 5 minutes at critical parts of this month. Green Flag have been no different, although their business strategy of using third party garages may have meant, these call out agents had to juggle Green Flag customers with their own.

But when you see that the basic Green Flag breakdown cover starts form £20, you can’t complain as even one call out in this weather will more than pay for your annual premium. There is more though, at the moment Green Flag are offering 2 for 1 offers, to entice to get covered with their breakdown cover service. You will need to visit the Green Flag website, just to make sure of all the details though and the conditions of sale.  What is astonishing though, is that the normal time for this type of weather is still not here yet, so having breakdown cover now may ensure you have a helping hand when the snow returns.

Getting To Know The Perks Of Car Breakdown Cover

Ok you part with your money and you expect 12 months 24/7 car breakdown cover in return right? Well it is worth while looking at some of the perks that these car breakdown cover providers offer to get you to sign up with them. Take the AA for example., if you become a member then have a members page that give you an idea of the benefits outside of the AA breakdown cover you will get if you join their service.

For example there is  10 % off Hertz rental, I presume this means when you are away from home, otherwise you would use your own car, especially if you now know you will get home if you breakdown. Then you can consider 60% off AA Auto Windscreens, virgin wine and some travel offers throughout and of course they will also want to sell you insurance with discount.

The RAC and Green Flag are a bit more shy with extra benefits you can get, or their websites do not make it easy to find out preferring to focus on the car breakdown cover angle.
