Breakdown assistance
GEM has been an award-winner in the Auto Express readers’ poll for four years running. 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.

Try asking yourself:

  • Does it cover just one vehicle?
  • Does it cover the person? In other words, does it cover any vehicle you drive?
  • Will it get you to a destination of your choice in the UK?
  • Will it get you home?
  • Does it offer you a refund on accommodation?
  • Does it cover your caravan as well as your car?
  • Does it cover your motorbike as well as your car?
  • Does it cover vehichles over 10 years old?

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.


 



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, 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.
