Being able to use your preferred choice of recovery agent is a definite plus for owners of classic cars – and with GEM’s cover you can. Under this scheme, members pay the attending agent themselves, then claim the costs back from GEM. The organisation has 39,000 members and uses a network of 1,250 agents. They usually get to stranded drivers in 39 minutes and fix 70 per cent of faults. The cover is for the person, not car.
