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

Web site not opperating properly

Tried to renew my cover for £59 + but the site would not let me put in the 3 digits on the card back, it would only accept 2 digits.
Had to phone up but they would not accept the $59 + , so I had to pay app £62 +.
Not much extra but annoying, I left it late so had no time to look for alternative.

Cover my breakdown.

Have only had to use for home start, but they have always been fairly quick in coming & have been efficient in what they have had to do.

Good products

I am fortunate not to have to call on the support offered, but having this insurance is a big comfort, well worth the relatively modest cost.

Easy to renew : Reliable service if required

I have had this breakdown cover for a number of years and only had cause to use it once, when the matter was resolved within 30 minutes of my making the phone call.
Renewing is simple.
Well recommended.

Excellent value for money

Price has been held for last 3 years, that's always good as far as I'm concerned, it's easy to renew and I don't get loads of spam emails!
Have not had to use service yet, but at the price I am paying, that's ok with me.

Dreadful customer service

I took out cover just before my holiday just on the off chance I had problems on the way. My car overheated en route and I was forced to stop in the middle of an unfamiliar area with 3 small children. When I tried to use my breakdown cover I was told it took 72 hours to start! Had this been clear on the website I would not have taken out the policy. The fact that I had had cover with the company for the past 2 years and had renewed with only 6 weeks break in cover counted for nothing. I am appalled by the lack of concern and have immediately cancelled my cover- which was also made difficult for me by being put on hold twice with the operator not returning. I will not be using this company again.
