There's the AA, and the RAC...

So the Tornado isn't a perpetual motion machine?

Is the Business cover a Seperate cover from standard AA cover? and if yes, how much does it cost a year?

About £200 a year, but you can just use the public one as well

I have AA cover with my bank account. I have not yet had any problems with them coming out to my bussiness vehicles including the limos.

I think the AA are the only ones that will cover the taxi/PH trade on a normal membership.

Not sure how long that will last though. :?

took cover via "IC" at £109 per year, they use the same network of garages as the AA and RAC with a 30 minute callout guarantee, I hope not to have to test that............

I doubt that the 30 minute call out guarantee will be worth the paper it is written on. If you have broken down on a motorway and there is congestion it simply won't happen. I bet there is some small print loophole for that one. :wink:
