A broken car that you need transporting or a genuine breakdown? I know AA said 14 days when I signed up but when their driver recovered me on the 14th day of my policy (for a genuine breakdown) he said if it's clearly genuine, ie. stranded somewhere then they would cover it from the start of the policy but if it's parked outside a house looking like it hasn't been driven recently then it's clearly not just broke down so they'll charge you or leave it.

When I joined the call centre said I was covered from that moment, can't see you having to wait 14 days your covered from the moment you join.

Exactly you buy a contract they wouldn't.be able to charge for it, the 24 hours is literally just the time for the system to update etc

I thought it was straight away? Insurance is the same nowadays, when I bought my insurance I was insured straight away and I'm sure it's the same for the AA as you get your membership number emailed to you

When I broke down in Birmingham I found an AA van at the services, he rang through for me and turned out my membership hadn't been renewed despite having a brand new card and everything, managed to renew it and get recovered there and then.

Thought it was the cambelt that arms fitted 2 weeks ago, turns out the pin on the alternator had pushed in and was hitting the spinning part of the alternator making a racket!
