Mr Michael
Have only just joined and the website was a doddle to navigate. I like the idea of the app but hope I don't need to use it 😁
Mr Walter
The lady I dealt with was very helpful and so polite.
Mr Alan
Very smooth application, though the headline price of £36,40 for 3* cover jumps to £53,39 for a vehicle over 5 years old. This 2 tier pricing should be more prominently displayed on the website. The app is very easy to use, though I can't comment on performance in a breakdown scenario.
Mr Brian
Just bought my policy. That worked fine. Good reviews online.
Mr Thomas
I looked at all the breakdown options and what ther had to offer. Start Rescue came out the best and I can recommend my selection based on average service to others.
