GEM motor assist. ~£85 per year. The policy is on the driver not the car
I have this for the 87 Trans Am - i will need to check but i believe i will also be covered on the 79 Camaro with the same policy, as i'm the registered owner in both cases. Had a hell of a time too trying to find breakdown cover. I even explained to the RAC, Greenflag etc that i don't want roadside fixes (sure - if it's a case of running out of fuel then do that) i just want to be towed home. Don't even take it to a garage, just onto a flatbed, back to my home address. They had no answer for that. I think that's kind of dumb - you should be able to take out a policy where it's effectively a tow service. If there are any breakdown / insurance services reading this - come up with a 'tow home' policy. If there are any tow companies reading this - offer a yearly membership. Nice and simple - offer a basic recovery service; 1) out of fuel, it'll get refuelled (charge 50% extra per litre - nice incentive) 2) tow it home. If it's broke, don't try and fix it, just get it to a chosen destination. Done. You have x amount of tows per year, if you reach the limit then you can pay a premium to continue your policy. Shouldn't be too difficult... Isn't that how the whole breakdown thing started? You called up and a flatbed turned up and you paid for the service each time. Then it was offered as an annual service, based on risk (better to take money from someone that may not use the service than not take their money at all). You can call up and get a tow, just would cost you over £100 each time. Bit of a pain if you don't have mobile internet to find them / shop around for local prices when you're on the side of a road in the dark and cold. So why not just offer that service on a yearly plan. Rant over
But seriously - should be policies like that out there...
