Professional and efficient...

My husband and I were very happy with how Britannia Rescue dealt with us, from the gent on the end of the phone to the recovery man who took our car to the garage within the response time given. He even sent us a photo of our car outside the garage once he arrived there.

Quick response

Quick response, about 30 mins, and recovery companies Able Assist and Crouch Recovery did a great job. Thanks to Lexi and Ross respectively.

A talking Human

Hello
I wanted to send feedback regarding my service.

Please pass on my eternal gratitude to Ken who not only was so helpful but a real human.
In a time of need that just what u need not an automatic fill in form to then be told 5-6 hours wait by RAC.
Then to speak with Natasha who equally was helpful and amazing.
A credit to your company.
I have RAC cover with my car service plan and also cover on my insurance which thank god I did not cancel.

Thank you again

Excellent service from Britannia

The Britannia agent was very helpful and considerate he took care to make sure that I was safe and that we knew exactly where the vehicle was
Vehicle needed picking up is not driveable and they rescue agent was extremely helpful and polite. The whole experience was excellent part of the fact that it’s gonna cost me a lot of money to fix the car.!!

Great experience with no problems

I have only used the Breakdown / Recovery insurance once and it went very well - the staff were friendly and flexible in arranging the recovery of my motorhome, which needed to go from my house to a specific garage, as I had a fault with my air suspension that could only be repaired by an authorised dealer with access to the parts.

If I could give them a ten I would! We broke down in the motorway in France and 48 stressful hours later we are back in the UK. LV Britannia Rescue in France were so wonderful - quick to answer the phone, quick to arrange taxis, hire cars etc. All of the call handlers were friendly, helpful and efficient. I cannot fully express just how helpful they were in an awful situation

"Britannia Brilliance"

From start to finish my whole experience of using "Britannia Rescue" was as good as it gets. The call agent was very polite and clear in the arrangements for recovery and i could of been recovered in 20 minutes from my call 😳 But i opted for pick up first thing the next morning as this suited my local garage better.

Then sure enough just after 9.00am the next morning a very polite and friendly driver from "Hobbs Recovery" turned up to take my Camper Van to my garage 🚐 and that was it a very smooth and efficient service by the fantastic recovery company that is "Britannia Rescue" so forget the rest and go with the best you won't regret it 😀👌🏼
