Breakdown cover

So my Breakdown cover with GreenFlag is up for renewal at the end of the month.

Been quoted £69 for Recovery Plus, which includes a 1 year "no call outs" discount.

On there website I can get the same cover as a new customer for £67.
If I go through Money Supermarket, it appears I can do another better and get it for £60.

Had the same thing with Admiral Insurance not long ago, and phoned them up. There and then they price matched my online prices. (Saved £160! )

So I thought I would try the same with GreenFlag, but they could do nothing.
Said its an online price only which they cant match, I need to leave and re-join to get it.
Said to them dont auto renew.

I have never had to call GreenFlag out, so just wanted to get people's opinions on Break down cover.
Green Flag any good?
RAC or the AA worth the extra money? (Looking at about £100 for the same-ish cover)

On my previous car I just took out Admiral's cover, and called them out 3 times.
Each time was ok. Never fixed the car and towed me home / to a garage.
Took over 1 hour to arrive each time.
So not keen to go with them.

However they did offer a similar level of cover when I renewed my insurance for £58.

Any thoughts?

Cheers
