Breakdown recovery provider GEM Motoring Assist is offering a 10% discount for everyone who buys a policy over the forthcoming Black Friday weekend. The offer is valid for all purchases made between Friday 25 and Monday 28 November inclusive.

GEM chief executive Neil Worth commented: “Our breakdown recovery service has always offered industry-leading customer service as well as excellent value for money. This coming weekend gives motorists the opportunity to obtain an even better deal.

“As winter approaches, no one wants the misery and inconvenience of a breakdown. So, if you do need recovery, it’s good to know that you’ll have GEM at your side, with expert help coming to you fast.”

GEM has long been proud of the quality and value its breakdown recovery service delivers, as well as the unique personal touch that’s at the heart of our business.

Neil Worth adds, “All of this has been shown by the many awards we have received over the years.

“The past year has been an exciting one for GEM as we celebrated our 90th anniversary and introduced enhanced coverage for the same great value. Both our new and existing members have been rewarded with even more cover for their money, so we not only celebrated, but also got to reward our members. In addition to this, the GEM Road Safety Charity will receive 90p from every policy purchased this year.

“We do of course, encourage all drivers to ensure their cars – and vans – are properly maintained so that the risk of a breakdown is minimised. But if something does go wrong, our nationwide network of local recovery operators will be on hand to help.”

GEM introduced many enhancements to their offering this year to all of their policies as standard for all new and existing GEM members. These include:

Cover for members when they’re a passenger in any car
This means members can use GEM’s breakdown recovery service when they’re a passenger in a vehicle driven by someone who is not a GEM member.

Big increase in misfuel claims cover
Members are now covered for up to £250 for misfuel claims, an increase from £70 previously.

Nationwide recovery for caravans and trailers 
The old limit of 10 miles for recovery of vehicles towing trailers or caravans has been scrapped, meaning members can organise recovery to anywhere in the country.

Nationwide recovery following an accident, vandalism or theft 
The 10-mile limit on recovery of members’ vehicles following a collision, vandalism or theft has also been scrapped, and members can organise recovery to anywhere in the country.

Cover for vans weighing up to 3500kg
GEM members driving vans now benefit from a 40 per cent increase in the size of vehicle covered under the policy.
