My go-to company for European Breakdown Cover. Great policy at a competitive price despite my 13 year old car! Can't comment on breakdown service as luckily never needed to use it.

I've been a customer for 5 years. I've needed help on two occasions and the service was excellent. The price also includes home start which is the lowest of all breakdown providers. As such I strongly... See more

Useless
Broke down, phoned CBC, after about 2 hrs they phoned me to say they couldn’t find a recovery company and said I should arrange it myself.
First company GRS Breakdown where able to recover me, CBC can’t have been trying that hard.
What is the point of breakdown insurance if they leave you stranded and tell you to do it yourself.
Luckily I was in a safe place ant the weather was fine
I contacted CBC via their website, obviously they don’t read the comments
Still waiting for a formal response
Very poor

I took out two different policies
I took out two different policies, one for me and my car and one for my wife and her car. It was cheaper! Go figure. They are great policies so no complaints.

Hi Sarah,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry to hear that you’re unhappy with your experience.
We have reviewed the correspondence with our colleague, who advised that the additional premium was quoted in order to amend the details of your vehicle.
Breakdown policy pricing is based on a number of risk factors, including vehicle age, mileage, MOT history, and overall condition, which can affect the premium.
We appreciate your feedback and will ensure your comments are reviewed internally.
Kind regards,
Chloe
