What does our breakdown quote cover?
A breakdown quote from GEM covers the driver. That means any vehicle they’re driving - car, small van, motorbike, caravan or small trailer that is attached at the time of breakdown..
In brief,
Roadside gives you roadside assistance, plus recovery to a local garage or your home, if within 15 miles;
Recovery EXTRA includes breakdown assistance at your home, recovery throughout the UK and onward travel or emergency accommodation for you and your passengers; and
Recovery RECLAIM provides the same cover as
Recovery EXTRA, yet allows you to reduce your payments by opting to pay the attending garage and reclaiming costs from GEM.
And all the above come with money-saving two-person and family cover (up to four persons at the same address) options. Each an even better value breakdown quote.

We were preferred by motorists to more well-known breakdown companies, and if you’re still wondering whether you should put your trust in GEM, consider that we’ve been helping motorists for more than three-quarters of a century, since 1932.
