I think it was the recovery section - is that part of the higher cost "executive" package? - check the wording carefully if you think you might want it. as you said, costs are similar, so just want to get the best cover that suits you. off road is off road so far as I know. - as an example - Friend had bad accident in the desert and RSA covered all costs (other than excess) for repair came to about 45% of values of car - 50% is apparently the right off limit) , but was worried about the recovery side -as it happened we were able to help them get the car out without assistance, but they were definately worried about it. At the time we checked our AXA policy, and felt we would have been covered PS - check the value they are using. we found one year they were overvalueing the car (compared with dubizzle and small adds) and as insurance cost is % of value, we were able to bring this down. They did not quiblle when we pointed to the differences.

If for a 4wd, then check off road coverage. I think RSA was worse - at least in the past - and we have used AXA for that reason. But they may have changed since we last compared
