    RAC and AA have their own fleets and staff and call out sub contractors when required.

    Green flag have a small fleet and use subcontracted companies more.
    Hope this helps

    I’m with the AA - via my bank account. I pay a bit extra for the all singing and dancing Homestart and Relay service.

    I get AA cover from Ford as I have a Service Plan with them, and I also have Green Fiag cover via my bank account
    Only ever used the AA, three times in about 5 years and they’ve been outstanding every time
