Is this offer a good or bad idea?

It appears to be full recovery - although limited to 6 call outs - if paying after this six, then plan for £75 Call out then £2.60 per nile plus vat average in industry.

It only covers one person in one car - so if partner breaks down, tough. If you are in a friends car and they break down then tough - other clubs will cover any vehicle you are in.
It is also auto-renew, so make sure you cancel 8 weeks before end - or you will pay a MUCH higher price (how they make these offers pay as most forget the auto renew- same as auto renew car insurance)

Compare it to others like ADAC, AA, RAC, MONDIAL,GREENFLAG,etc and you may find an extra £40 is worth it for peace of mind of any situation you are in being covered including friends and family etc, and lack of hidden extras.

I did have car insurance with 2gether once and they were exceptionally helpful UNTIL i changed insurers when they became abusive, withheld my NCB etc and were really quite nasty! Put me off them for life!

I bought this policy without noticing this part of the Groupon small print:

"Must be 17 years or older. Covers one individual per policy; One car per policy."

I couldn't find any reference to covering just one individual in the policy document so I called 2gether. They told me that their policies, even through Groupon, cover the car and not the individual so anyone driving it is covered. I've asked for this in writing!

Seems cheap, some good reviews too - it's not terribly comprehensive, but for £20 it can't be a bad gamble.
Just check that your insurer doesn't give similar cover as part of your car insurance policy as standard.

So far, so useless. I did not get confirmation in writing following that phone call. I have tried contacting them by email too and still nothing!
