Consumers are being urged to shop around for vehicle breakdown cover as well as their car insurance policies as prices continue to fluctuate.
Tesco Personal Finance estimates that motorists are overspending by around £663 million on car breakdown cover because they fail to obtain quotes from a number of firms.
The strong market position of the AA and RAC often means that consumers look no further for cover, especially as both companies offer a combined breakdown and insurance package.
"This is a highly competitive market," said Allan Burns, head of car breakdown cover at Tesco Personal Finance.
"Most drivers look for the best combination of quality and cost from their car insurance provider, and they should expect exactly the same from their car breakdown cover."
