I get RAC cover with my policy through Bennetts which actually works out cheaper than getting it separately.
I've only used it a couple of times, firstly when I was new to biking and flattened the battery, they came out, jump-started it, then stayed for 20 minutes whilst we let it run to charge.
The second time was when there was a fault in the Kill Switch and the engine died coming back to Portsmouth on the A27 at Ringwood. As it was a Sunday, they loaded it on a van, drove me home, then picked me up on Tuesday (the dealers were closed on Monday) and took me to Southampton to get it fixed.
So that was well worth the money IMO
What you have to watch for are, as Steeeve66 mentions, cheap policies that only take you to the "nearest garage" and then leave you standing at a bus stop or having to pay for a taxi or train which can be bloody expensive. Check the details before you sign as it may be a false economy!
