Don't trust them at all especially when you have a breakdown, I was told to look for a garage at 1am when I.had a breakdown because they said they only recover the vehicle 15miles away from the place of incident, imagine with 2 children at that hour, a week later I contacted them to explain this they shifting the goal posts. Be careful when you join them.

Terrible company using every excuse not to attend to your breakdown. DO NOT USE AS YOU WONT BE COVERED SHOULD YOU NEED ASSISTANCE. Don’t be fooled by the good reviews, wait until the good reviews need assistance then that will change.

They do not bother much about your situation. They only take car to the chosen by you garage. They do not send mechanic on place to fix it if possible. I took Premium Membership but when was time to claim money from Parts and Labor cover they inform me that I need a proof of full service for the last 12 months. From my experience is better invest in full service rather them. They sell false promise. I do not recommend or trust them.

So being stuck on the side of the road, I call my breakdown cover company expecting an answer and some help, after all that’s what I paid for! Absolutely nobody answered the call, I wasn’t even in a queue- nobody answered! Absolutely dreadful service!!

I have a comprehensive policy which includes home start... This morning car wouldn't start ..phoned up Emergency assist and got a young lady I can only assume was in a call centre in South Africa who told me I would have to phone back with the post code of my nearest garage...this is before anyone has been called out and looked at the car!!! How many of you know the post code of your local garage? Don't use... they're cheap for a reason.

It's a scam. Should of read the reviews.. They won't recover you, you will be dropped to the closest garage. And will pay for that privilege.

Absolutely terrible service Absolutely terrible service, do not waist your money, join AA instead. I broke down in my large motorhome in a very dangerous location, cars just pushing past when I couldn’t move on a dangerous junction. I called these guys to recover me and they wouldn’t help unless I told them a garage where they would get me too close to where I was. I did know the area at all and it was around 5 pm on a Friday afternoon. They refused to send anyone out until I found a garage. Wouldn’t even come out to see if they could get me going and I had premium cover. I told them about the dangerous position and they just did not help in anyway at all and left me stranded. Luckily I had AA cover as part of of my bank account. The AA were with me is less than an hour and managed to get me home. DO NOT use this company, they will leave you stranded and not even call back to see if your safe or anything I fully intend to officially report these to the omnibus. They will not help you when you break down

Shocking dangerously inept response when you breakdown. Wont recover you unless you find a garage willing to drop tools to look at your car within 25miles. No national recovery even if that is what you pay for.

I have had long running issues with this company, they are APPALLING. They have lied on a number of occasions to cover their back, most recently they LIED IN A SUBJECT ACCESS REQUEST RESPONSE and have failed to respond to requests as to why they lied. I had Premium cover (still have as they have failed to cancel my policy following my request to in February) - they refused to send assistance when I got a puncture unless I paid a minimum of £125 (I declined to), even though their literature states that flat tyres and punctures are covered under all levels of cover and I met all the terms - they failed to respond to a postal complaint that they received, and signed for, in February. They only responded when I filed a second complaint via Resolver and didn’t refer to some issues that were raised in the postal complaint. On receiving professional advice, I made a Subject Access Request, questioning when they received my postal complaint and responded to it, along with the current status of my policy. Tom Coates responded to the SAR stating that they received my postal complaint on 16 April, after I made my further complaint via Resolver. I have signed evidence they received my letter on 26 February, and they were sent a copy of that on 16 April but still chose to LIE. I have questioned why they have lied - NO RESPONSE. They manipulate their Trustpilot score by getting people to review them before using their service. THERE ARE VAST AMOUNTS OF NEGATIVE REVIEWS ON THE INTERNET FROM PEOPLE THEY LEFT STRANDED, THEY LITERALLY MAKE UP THE TERMS AS THEY GO ALONG. *** If you do decide to take cover, use a cashback site, eg Topcashback or the like, you will get 55% of your premium back. Hit them where it hurts, they only want your money for nothing, a really nasty company.

Stay away if you can. They demand payment of £10 for cancellation even before policy actually started. I received terms and conditions after purchase and found out their policy is constructed the way everything is on discretion, cover you max to £2000 and no pets. Recovery of the vehicle from abroad can cost thousands, with them you are only going to stay without help. There a plenty of reviews from people who were refused help and left on the street after finding some excuses, even damaged tyre doesn’t qualify as they say it’s your fault so no assistance. Absolute con artists!

SCAM SCAM SCAM!! DO NOT USE! Awful company designed to profit off the misfortunes of others! Called 11months ago with dead battery - no call out provided as they could not access, I arranged myself to get the battery replaced and had it MOT and serviced and drove it for 11months no issue. Then when car wouldn't start today they said it was an 'ongoing issue' so they couldn't recover without me paying extortionate prices!!!
