Breakdown assistance

 

The difference between GEM’s award-winning cover - 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Auto Express Driver Power Survey’s - and others, is just a few pounds. That means we’re preferred by motorists to more well-known breakdown companies, but it you’re still wondering who we are, we’ve been helping motorists since 1932.

For great value, choose our Recovery RECLAIM or Recovery EXTRA cover.

From £89.75

Recovery EXTRA

Comprehensive roadside assistance & recovery for your car, small van, motorcycle, caravan or small trailer. Includes home assistance, recovery anywhere in the UK plus onward travel or emergency accommodation for you and your passengers.

From £68.95

Recovery RECLAIM

Save money on this unique scheme which offers the same level of service as our premier cover Recovery EXTRA but requires you to pay the attending recovery operator and then reclaim the appropriate costs from us.

From £51.25

Roadside

UK Roadside assistance for breakdowns which occur at least a quarter of a mile from your home. If your vehicle cannot be fixed at the roadside we will recover it to a local garage or to your home address providing this is less than 15 miles away.


 



The pitfalls of cheap breakdown insurance

Before you opt for the cheapest breakdown insurance, ask these questions:

•    Is there cover for only one vehicle?
•    Is there cover for punctures?
•    Will they help you if you lock your keys in your car?
•    Will they help you if your vehicle breaks down at home?>
•    Are you covered for accidents and vandalism?
•    Are you covered for onward travel?
•    Is there a restriction on the number of call-outs each year?
•    Are you covered for travel and/or accommodation for all your passengers?

You may find yourself looking for a better alternative.
 

Compare GEM breakdown cover to cheap breakdown cover


All GEM breakdown services cover any vehicle* you’re driving - cars, small vans, motorhomes, motorcaravans and caravans and trailers if attached at the time of the breakdown and even motorbikes. And not just for breakdowns and accidents - we also cover vandalism, theft and driver illness.

For even better value, we have options to cover two drivers and up to four drivers. Compared to cheap breakdown cover, GEM is clearly the informed choice.
