we are thinking of swapping from the AA to the above. do any of the people on here who have Mayday also have the personal cover option on top of comprehensive cover ?
the reason i ask is that it appears that you and partner are covered in any vehicle if you choose this add on .therefore i cant see the need for choosing the other option of insuring a 2nd or 3rd car at the same address which in our case would run out more expensive than personal cover.
what i wouldnt want to happen is to have a breakdown in a vehicle not registered with mayday and them not come out to recover/repair despite having this personal cover option.
have i got this right or have i got the wrong end of the stick ?
yep thats exactly right.
we have personal cover, with my wife as additional user, and trailer cover, through c.c. mayday.
we are covered which ever vehicle we are travelling in 'or on', even if you are a passenger in someone elses car
i have two cars and a motorbike, a caravan, and a small camping trailer for the motorbike.
everything is covered all for around £80.
best value i have found for my particular circumstances

Hello Bev & Jon. Yes that is correct re personal cover. I broke down in our second car(gear linkage broke). I rang Mayday(ie Greenflag) on my mobile. They asked for my membership number...didn't have my card, so they asked for my car reg. I gave them the number of the car registered with them (my first car), explaining that this was not the car which was broken down. Said they would come in 30 mins...after 10 mins, I got a text message saying they were on their way. Excellent service...took car to main dealer for repair (warranty). Would have taken me home then but I had organised a pick-up.
We cover 3 cars. The one our daughter is allowed to drive is the registered car, then OH and I have personal cover so are covered for any vehicle.As you have worked out, this is the cheapest way to cover several cars.
