Does AA Approved status cost extra when buying a car?

Updated 7 July 2026

No! AA Approved status doesn't add to your purchase price - the benefits are included at no additional cost. You receive the 12-month AA breakdown cover, access to mediation services, a free vehicle history check, and all other protections simply by buying from us. We pay to maintain our AA approval because we believe in operating to the highest standards, and those benefits automatically pass to you. 

The only costs you pay are for the vehicle itself and any optional extras you choose (such as extended warranty, GardX protection, service plans, etc.). Buying from an AA Approved Dealer doesn't cost you more - it just gives you significantly more protection and peace of mind.
