Breakdown direct - very pleasant experience - competitive price, I had an accident in France, next day they provided courtesy car and refunded flight ticket. Prompt response, staff speaks different languages, able to assist and they call on a daily basis for updates. Highly recommended!!!!

I took out one week's breakdown cover for motoring in France, not really expecting to need it. I was quoted £59 by the AA and £25.95 by Breakdown Direct (for 12 days cover as my holiday was eight days). A couple of days into the holiday, I damaged a tyre hitting a kerb. The car could still be driven, but the tyre looked as if it could burst at any time. I wasn't sure if I was covered, as technically I hadn't broken down (I drove the car back to where we were staying), but Breakdown Direct sent a mechanic out without any quibble. I rang on the Sunday evening of a Bank Holiday weekend, and they sent somebody out the following morning (the Bank Holiday monday). He arrived within 15 minutes of the morning call and did the job. All I had to do was sign a form.
