Bringing you the pick of UK breakdown insurance

Breakdown assistance

Each year, Auto Express collects the opinions of thousands of motorists for its Driver Power survey of breakdown assist providers. We've been voted Survey Winners for Breakdown Cover in 2008, runners-up in 2009 and winners again in 2010!

Take a closer look at GEM breakdown assist

GEM breakdown assist is comprehensive. All our packages cover cars and small vans, as well as motorbikes, motorhomes, motor caravans plus caravans and trailers attached at the time of a breakdown.*

You can call on us to help you for more than just breakdowns. We’ll get you out of trouble if you suffer an accident or vandalism - or even if you get ill. Recovery EXTRA gives you comprehensive cover and Recovery RECLAIM gives you the same cover, but at a lower cost - in exchange, we ask you to pay for your recovery costs and expenses and then reclaim them from us in full.
 

 

When you’re stuck, you can rely on our 24 hour recovery

GEM gets help to you at the roadside quickly. In the small number of cases where we cannot fix your vehicle, we’ll take it to the nearest approved garage for repair - or to your home, if it’s within 15 miles.

With Recovery EXTRA and Recovery RECLAIM, you can be taken to any destination of your choice in the UK. We’ll also reimburse you onward travel or overnight accommodation***.

Whether you choose Roadside, Recovery EXTRA or Recovery RECLAIM, you can be confident of getting the pick of UK breakdown insurance, each with 24 hour recovery.
