Green Flag
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Green Flag is a roadside rescue company based in the UK
It was formed in 1971 as the National Breakdown Recovery Club and operated under this name under the ownership of National Car Parks until 1994, when it was renamed Green Flag as a symbolic brand name[1]
After the purchase of NCP by Cinven, the company was purchased by Direct Line in 1999. Following the purchase of Direct Line by the Royal Bank of Scotland, Green Flag is now a part of RBS Group.
For four years running, Green Flag has been the winner of the Your Money award for Best Direct Breakdown provider[1][2].

[edit] Differences from other breakdown companies
Unlike the AA and RAC, Green Flag does not have its own fleet of vehicles or a staff of mechanics. Instead, the company maintains a network of locally-based mechanics. One of the advantages of this approach (according to the company) are that local companies have local knowledge and are able to respond to call outs faster as a result.
