Classic Car Breakdown Cover

Classic cars are a bit different from the run-of-the-mill vehicles you use to get you from A to B aren’t they? And GEM’s breakdown cover is a little different from that offered by other breakdown cover companies…

You might be asking "what is the best breakdown cover for older cars?", our 24/7 breakdown cover policy includes breakdown cover for older vehicles, and any other eligible vehicle* you drive, at no extra cost.

As a classic car owner, we know your classic vehicle is your pride and joy and that keeping these magnificent machines on the road and in fantastic condition is important to you. This is why our main 24 hour breakdown cover includes cover for classic cars and a host of attractive policy features that are not always offered by our competitors.

Our 24/7 classic car breakdown cover offers reassurance to many of our members

• Simplicity – as GEM's breakdown cover for classic cars is personal cover rather than vehicle-based, owners of classic vehicles do not need to take out a separate recovery policy.
  
  This means that our scheme will cover you in whichever eligible vehicle* you are driving; whether this is your classic car or motorbike or your normal ‘week-day’ mode of transport.

• Flexibility - if you choose our Recovery RECLAIM policy - our policyholders are always welcome to use our 24-hour breakdown control centre. However, we fully understand that many classic vehicle owners often prefer to use a specialist garage which knows their car inside-out.
  
  If you do wish to use a garage of your choice for roadside assistance or recovery, then under our special Recovery RECLAIM policy, you can arrange this, paying the recovery operator for your repair or recovery and then reclaiming the appropriate costs from GEM afterwards.
  
  Of course, you can contact our 24-hour control centre at any time if you prefer to pay-and-claim with us, for example, if your favoured garage is closed.

• Freedom – our breakdown cover for classic cars imposes no limit on the distance involved in recovering the vehicle if you break down more than a quarter of a mile from your home and we can't get you going.

• Practicality – we know that classic vehicles sometimes need a little friendly push or help with starting so we include Home Assistance with our cover.

 Finally, bear in mind that we cover vehicles of all ages. If you’re a classic vehicle enthusiast be sure to team up with GEM!
