I was with the RAC till recently with personal cover but due to their price increase I have now move personal cover which also includes classic vehicles to GEM who with good reviews, reasonable prices and going via top cash back website came in at £64. That's my 3 vehicles covered including 2001 bongo.

We've got breakdown cover with our bank account (Nationwide Flex Plus). I've used it 3 times, only once for the Bongo, and it seems pretty good.

Used AutoAid for last 5 years, has been sold to another company and premiums have gone up a bit now £44 pa via Groupon! Cover me as the driver in all vehicles I have (bikes and cars) with no age restrictions, weight restriction is met with Bongo...used them to recover a car in 2017 and it was excellent. They have an international cover option too.

Another shout for GEM although I didn't know about the cashback thing and I pay £126 p/a. 4 bikes, 2 cars, any vehicle 2 drivers. 2 of my bikes are old 2-strokes and seize when you look at them. Call outs have been excellent, call centre tries a little too hard to please if anything. I blew up a Yamaha R1 a couple of years ago and they were phoning every 10 minutes to apologise for the bloke taking all of an hour to turn up.

I have been GEM for many years and have had excellent service from them.
