Has anyone got any experience of this budget recovery insurance provider (aka Blue Insurances Ltd and MAPFRE ASISTENCIA)

They come out cheapest on the recovery search at "GoCompare" but I don't know of them.

I've previously used Boncaster and had no trouble with recovery or getting my claim paid...


Another alternative would be Gem - again, any experiences anyone?
I thought I was a Money Saving Expert - then someone pointed me at Martin Lewis! Now THERE's an expert!!!

    Car breakdown cover from chris knott insurance

    We’re pleased to announce the launch of Chris Knott Breakdown Cover to our car club/forum partners.

    This high-quality, reliable cover is a fraction of the cost of RAC or AA cover and offers more benefits.

    The price for full UK breakdown cover is £54.50 and major benefits include:
    • Mechanical breakdown cover
    • Recovery home or original destination if repairs cannot be carried out at roadside
    • Accident or vandalism cover
    • Fire, theft or attempted theft cover
    • Flat battery, loss or breakage of keys cover
    • Lack of fuel cover
    • Accidental damage to tyres cover including punctures for motorcycles
    • SMS text messaging service to mobile phone callers advising them of ETA of our operator
    All the above benefits are available under the "Home Start" cover if the breakdown occurs at the Customer's home.

    Please see http://www.ckinsurance.co.uk/docs/ChrisKnottBreakdown.pdf for full details.

    Cover is available at your breakdown renewal (which means you don't even have to be insured with us!) or to run in-line with your Chris Knott car insurance renewal date, and is underwritten by Brit Insurance Ltd.

    Saw that earlier - does it cover the car or the driver do you know? :)
