Car roadside breakdown service

Hi!
I am looking for a roadside breakdown service like the AA RAC in Britain, I know in Finland there is AL Autoliito but to join that the car must be under 15 years old I'm looking for a service where they accept cars over 20 years old! Anyone know?

Thanks!

Some car insurance covers the costs of getting towed to a garage.

We've got AL-Turva coverage, though we've never had to use it.

What's this 15 year old car business? As far as I understood AL membership relates to the person. I don't recall giving the AL any details about our cars. They just send you a sticker (s) which goes in the back window.

You got old info. Probably from AL's english site. That "under 15" requirement applies only for trips abroad.

"Parantuneet palvelut 2009

AL-turva -jäsenyyden matkanjatkamispalvelut parantuivat 1.1.2009.

Ajoneuvon ikäraja poistui Suomessa. Henkilökohtainen AL-Turva takaa nyt jäsenilleen perille pääsyn riippumatta siitä minkä ikäisellä ajoneuvolla he ovat liikkeellä. Ajoneuvon tulee olla Suomeen rekisteröity henkilöauto, moottoripyörä, pakettiauto, matkailuajoneuvo tai matkailuvaunuyhdistelmä. Ulkomailla ajoneuvojen ikäraja on edelleen 15 vuotta."

call your current insurance company and ask if you are have "Autopalvelu" coverage...
This covers towing and any problems you have with roadside!!
Generally, lots of insurance companies cover this with perukasko ( basic insurance but more than liability )
