Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has shared his tips for saving cash on breakdown cover.
The 46-year-old told Good Morning Britain viewers that many drivers pay over the odds for breakdown cover and could save cash by switching provider.
He recommended motorists switch to AutoAid as it has similar call-out times to the big name providers and could save drivers a lot of money.
The money expert also offered advice for those wanting to save cash but don't want to switch company.

By switching to AutoAid drivers could get breakdown cover for just £48.31 a year, he said.
“Think of roadside recovery and the big names that usually come to mind are the AA and RAC. But actually my top pick for a decade has been AutoAid, as it gives more cover, for a lower price and with similar call-out times," he said.
But he warned the deal won't be around for long.
“Its price is about to rise so if you want this, you’ll need to act quick,” he added.
“AutoAid currently costs £48.31 per year, but that rises to £60 in a months’ time on May 15.
“It covers any car you or any spouse or civil partner drives and, unlike basic policies which only cover breakdowns away from home, this covers them at home too.
“Plus it gives onward travel for up to five passengers if you need it after a breakdown elsewhere.”
The deal, he said, is a great one compared to other big names.
“To put the price in context, equivalent AA cover is well over £100 – so this is a great deal,” he said.
For those who do want to stick with their current provider, Martin told viewers how they could still save some money.
Martin said: “If you really want to stick with the big firms, never just auto-renew, always haggle with them.
“The success rates for those who haggle are higher here than in any other call centre-type industry - 88% of AA customers and 85% RAC customers succeeded in haggling according to my latest poll.”
