So air Ambulances are paid for by public donations according to a programme we watched earlier. So my question is this if your car insurance or home insurance gave you an option of say paying an extra 20 pounds a year to pay for the use of this service in the event you needed it would you pay it.

I need to change my answer

I'd pay the money to support it not to have the option to use it over someone who hasn't paid the money

I'd rather donate separately. Don't see why it should be tied to home or car insurance.

The reason I ask if it was an option with your insurance would be that you may say pay 20 quid but in the event of a claim the full cost of operating the aircraft would be paid. So as an example your insurance would pay say 5 grand.

I donate monthly to Air Ambulance but I hope I never need it, the option to voluntarily pay is already there.

A lot of rescues are for people away from home and not vehicle related though, like rescue missions or child accidents.

I think they're so important that they should be publicly funded. They saved a relative's life and provided pioneering emergency care.

They may want more than £20 for that?

Ah this is interesting. The doctor who runs ours does it all completly volunterarly, the actual!hands on and awareness. I'm thankfully have never had to use them or anyone close but I have been witness to!them working. It just downright amazes me that all!the funding is completely donations and this has become the main local charity I support.

I donate monthly to Dorset Air Ambulance and Devon and Cornwall Air Ambulance.

They got me to hospital after a motorcycle accident on 4th May 2004.

Will always be in debt to them

No. It's a disgrace that it depends on any form of donations.

Plymouth and Newcastle (sometimes)

We give all our unwanted goods to them...Hopefully we'll never need them but the roads and terrain down here means road rescue can take forever.

It is, isn't it. Especially when you consider nations like Germany, the Netherlands, even little Belgium all have federally funded air ambulances

I support the air ambulance too.....but I'm pretty sure it does not do the sea rescues.

That's the big yellow RAF sea kings such as those that fly out of RAF Valley where Prince William did a stint.

The red helicopter serves land emergencies... The seating serves both land and sea emergencies..... For multiple traumas the police helicopters are also used xxxx

Absolutely, having seen them first hand during a remote accident, I wouldn't (and don't) hesitate.

I bet they would if they knew about them. Quangos like BSO are silly, no need for them.

It would be pretty hard for the air ambulance to land in your average area,I'm sure the normal ambulance would be quicker.

Always donate to the air ambulance,I don't know any biker who wouldn't donate.

I personally think that in the event of an accident that was self inflicted (or avoidable) you should be made to pay for the Air Ambulance service. If you are in a car accident you - or their - insurance should pay for it.
