Honestly the worst experience and customer service I’ve ever had with a company like this. So unhelpful, that’s IF you can speak to someone. Over an hour on hold for “emergency assistance” tonight and... See more

Consistently offer good value

Very happy with Covermybreakdown, have been with them for 3 years now and they offer the best deal I can find on breakdown cover. During this period we have also had to call them out a couple of times and the service has been good.

Good

I was Just dissapointed with a THIRD increase,when I asked why it had gone up
I was told it was because my car was one year older?

Good Morning Mr Boland,

Our prices are based on the first year of registration of the vehicle and therefore results in an increase in premium as the age of the vehicle increases.

Kind Regards,

Disappointingly Frustrating!

I ordered the policy online, it seemed like very good value.
However I have been unable to print off my documentation.
I have followed the instructions to the letter, have tried on three different computers/devices and get taken to pages that either say 'access forbidden' or 'link/page does not exist.'

Solutions offered by breakdown.ie have not resolved the issue. I have paid for a policy but cannot get at my documentation.
Mind you, the payment section worked very swiftly; breakdown.ie received my payment quickly, efficiently and without fuss.....or any form of receipt for payment offered online to me. :(

Cheaper Breakdown Cover

Having breakdown cover for third year only called out once for weak battery in first year cover. Renewal with premium increase but still cheaper then AA or RAC. Cover Vehicle only so any driver cover for that vehicle.

EXELLENT SERVICE AND GOOD VALUE

HAVE HAD FOUR YEARS WITH THIS BREAKDOWN. HAD TO CALL OUT TWICE DURING THIS TIME, EACH TIME THEY RESPONDED QUICKLY WERE FRIENDLY AND SORTED PROBLEM. YOU GET DISCOUNT ON RENEWAL AND ITS GOOD VALUE.

Good service, recommended

Between my wife and I we have had to call on Breakdowncover on 3 occasions over the past few years. Staff are courteous on the phone and we get a prompt response from a friendly local garage proprietor. I haven't required a replacement vehicle as all incidents have occurred close to home so cannot comment on that score but I'm happy with the response I've received to date. If the problem isn't easily fixed on the spot we've had speedy return of our repaired car the following day. I was an AA member for many years in the UK and would estimate the response from Breakdowncover to be similar.

Good service

I broke down over the Christmas holidays and used my breakdown cover for the first time. A breakdown vehicle was with me within half an hour. It could not be repaired on the road and had to be taken to a main dealer, breakdowncover arranged a taxi for myself and my wife to bring us home (also the pet dog)
Very pleased with the service,especially the very competitive premiums.
