To those of you relying on AA/RAC, have you ever had to call them out for a puncture and was the lack of a spare or repair kit discussed?
I get RAC cover with my bank account, but there is an explicit clause that says cover is not provided ‘If the breakdown is as a result of a tyre fault and a spare wheel or the manufacturer’s repair equipment is not being carried.‘.
When we summoned the AA using the app there was a response required "spare or no spare". No quibbles. Since we were at home and safe, our call was lower priority so it took them two hours to arrive.
The lawyer in me says that we had the manufacturer's repair equipment to hand (call Tesla Roadside button on the roof) but the spare swap was unavailable And as previously noted we had our own repair kit, puck and trolley jack but the AA guy chose to use his own. Now the proud owner of a Road Hero kit so no problemo for any edge situation.
By the time we load up with Oscar and Hamish in the frunk, DreamCase and Road Hero on board in back, it will be the same load as four pax!
