My 24 year old Son was 60 miles from home staying with his girlfriend when the wipers on his Renault Clio stopped working. Because the weather was pretty much rain across the whole region we told him to stay put and not attempt to return home. My wife is covered by the AA as she is the registered keeper of the car. After a call to AA she was informed that she was the only one covered and that they couldn’t assist our son. My wife’s policy is through NatWest bank and after reading through the policy it clearly states that the car was covered for any driver with my wife’s consent. My wife went to the bank immediately and was after a short time told that the policy was valid. My wife called the AA whilst there and the operator said after checking the policy it had been updated and she was covered. No explanation was given why she had to go through all this inconvenience. Now the AA were on the way to assist our Son and we thought he would be able to get home safely. AA were there within an hour but the mechanic basically told our son that he couldn’t fix the wipers and then went on to belittle him saying that the timing belt needed changing amongst other things he thought needed to be put right. This is the best bit !!! Because at that point it wasn’t raining where my son was the AA mechanic told him that the car could be driven but if it started to rain to pull over. We expected the car to be relayed home but how wrong we were. I cannot believe how from the outset AA just tried to get out of giving the service they promote. Very very angry and disappointed
