They are now quoting £93.49 for Euro cover and when I phoned I was told that's correct and it was possibly a mistake all that time it was £58.90 - VERY annoying as you couldn't buy it before a month in advance of the start date, so I've missed out

I've just bought Euro cover for £50.37. I was quoted this online, but called to check it was cover for any driver (it is), and ended up buying it over the phone. My car is 4 years old, maybe this is the difference?

Same problem here - 9 year old car, Kwik-Fit have quoted me £93.49 both online and over the phone...

could be worse, i've just been quoted £153 for a 13 year old car to cover our weeks holiday to France (owned by me from new so i know it reliable as its been serviced every 6,000 miles):(

I rang Kwik-fit who I am currently with, paid £28.95 last year for my 4 year old car. Renewal documents I just received quoted £84.99 for the renewal!! So I checked for some prices online & even the most expensive quote was only £62.43!!

I rang them to tell them I was going to cancel and they said ok we can do it for £28.95 again!

Told them if they send me a renewal again next year with a silly price I will definitely be not renewing with them again as they keep wasting my time! grrr

Had Kwikfit breakdown cover last year. Fortunately didn't need to call them out. Unfortunately when they sent the renewal through for this year they hiked the premium from £28 to £85. My car is only four years old. They didn't seem bothered when I told them I wouldn't be returning for a second year. Beware.

Just received my renewal quote for Full UK & European cover for a 6 year old car. Quote was £87.99 up from £58.90 the previous year and I hadn't even used the service in the last 12 months! Have phoned KwikFit told them what the MSE website was quoting (£50.37) and after a bit of discussion and referral to a "manager" they agreed to renew at £50.37. So just saved myself £37.62 and even paid £8.53 less than last year, result! Worth making the phone call.

Bought Breakdown cover on line today (7 Sept) effective from 18 Sept.
BEWARE..Kwikfit will not allow you to access your Policy details or even provide a breakdown phone number, until the start day of your Policy. But they helped themselves in advance to the payment.

I can't get any mention of the £50 policy only for £93 despite my car being 8yo and not the 10+ MSE mention
