    Red Pennant v RAC European breakdown cover

    If you need Red Pennant it's worth every penny. Our nearly 6 month old car broke down last year and they were fantastic, you do not deal with a huge call centre. Just hearing the same voice each time is reassuring. Well worth the price. Alan

    european breakdown cover

    Hello, We take out Red Pennant & they were fantastic when our nearly new X-Trail broke down this April. It's not worth trying to save a pound or two. Get the best if you need it it's more than anything.
