Just had my renewal for Green Flag Recovery Plus. By post it was £101 but online quote was £72, so much for loyalty. I took the online quote but noticed they only cover vehicles up to 16 years old so cannot renew next year. Do other recovery insurances have similar vehicle age restrictions?
It's a bit illogical as a youger vechicle could have travelled much further but maybe it's a parts thing - no parts available means a tow to nearest garage rather than roadside repair.
UPDATE
1) I've just scanned the Green Flag insurance policy document and the 16 year vehicle age limit only applies (it seems) to personal cover (i.e. where the insurance is on the person for any car). My guess is that for vehicle cover they build into the quoted price extra margin for older vehicles.
2) The prices given were for the full package including Onward Travel, Hire Car/Hotel, At Home service but excluding travel abroad.
