Similar to others, I upgraded my bank account (Smile, Co-Op) to get RAC cover and phone/gadget cover etc. Works well for us, as it's a joint account (me and wife) so covers us both in car and bike, unlike the cheap cover I had thrown in with insurance. Phone cover was good too, smashed screen on HTC One X, got new phone for £25 excess!
Had to use the RAC this week, nasty puncture, big chunk of glass, big hole. Too big for my rubber repair strands. Took them 1:15 to turn up, but did a temp fix with big rubber bung and rubber goo. Tyre was due for replacement anyway, probably why the glass killed it. Either way, it got me to local garage. Chap turned out to be a biker himself and chatted for a while about previous punctures he had repaired.
Yes, do check clauses relating to accident recover, many don't include this and will charge.
