That's great Fred
Thank you so much for your review.
Breakdown in France
Alternator packed up on the motorway in France last year. Apart from the fact it was holiday time for the french garages so took longer to repair Driver Guardian was easy to deal with. I was put up in a hotel and the next day a hire car was arranged. The hire car was paid for as was the hotel and motorway recovery so pleased I had this cover.

When we had a breakdown in France
When we had a breakdown in France, Driver guardian service could not have been more efficient. A breakdown recovery truck turned up in well under the hour and rather than just load our Motorhome and take it to a garage , the driver got it started and directed us to the nearest Iveco dealer.
Very efficient!

Thank you very much for your review David.
We appreciate your feedback and are happy your problems were sorted out quickly.
Excellent value
Can’t comment on claims experience as thankfully not needed yet but the level of cover for the cost is excellent value. Premium not changed in about 5 years, they reward loyalty!
