Since its launch in 1999 the company has received numerous accolades for its work from the Department of Trade and Industry, and also from within the insurance industry.

The Concept
Breakdown Insurance is purchased using a high street broker, a directory such as the Yellow Pages, and recently, the internet. Companies with large marketing budgets will always advertise their brand, but more crucial is the ability to meet customer expectation with a competitive car breakdown insurance quote, which is where the heart of the problem lies. How does a customer know the company they have chosen is even interested in quoting for their business? Only if an insurer wants your business will you ever receive a truly competitive breakdown insurance quote.

The Wizard™

Don’t brokers do this?
Brokers provide customers access to car breakdown insurance policies from a wide range of providers. However, since 1988 and the launch of Direct Line, over 60% of business goes direct to household names such as Norwich Union Direct, More Than, Direct Line and Admiral. Direct insurers do not allow brokers or intermediaries to quote their rates.

Online ‘brokers’ such as Its4me, Screentrade, Xelector, Insure.co.uk etc. access comparative engines in the market in the same way as high street brokers. For instance, Norwich Union provides a different rate to different brokers depending on the quality and volume of business. In addition, Norwich Union ‘Direct’ brand offer customers cheaper rates than those available through brokers.

Do they really have the largest panel of insurers in the UK?
Yes they do. This company is not a broker but an aggregator. An aggregator provides customers with access to a far larger range of insurers from which to choose a car breakdown policy. They prides themselves on the number of insurance companies on their panel and the range of breakdown insurance policies they can offer. The panel has been developed with leading household brand names like Direct Line, Tesco’s, Elephant, More Than and Esure to specialist brokers.
