Excellent service
I have been a member of driver guardian 4 years and never had to use until yesterday when had a flat battery on car . With it being 4pm in Christmas Eve I thought this could be a
problem but no , seamless call centre process and booking in for someone to come out to my home and assess issue . Within 45 mins of the initial call the car was charged and I was on my way .
Way above my expectations and I will definitely be recommending to others .

Renewed my membership today with Driver Guardian and it could not have been easier. I spoke with Gareth, but our call was interrupted as I had a work issue to deal with. Gareth said he would ring me back in half an hour and he did just that. Gareth was polite and extremely helpful and the renewing of my membership was very straightforward and done very quickly. An excellent service.

Came back after a week away. Went to my car, but couldn't unlock it, no matter how many times I clipped the key to open the door. It wouldn't let me. Eventually got into car, car key would not work. Called out Driver Guardian. WOW came quite quickly, He jumped my battery and car started straight away, we then made our way down to Halfords. The last time I called them out was approximately nearly 7 years ago, I have been with Driver Guardian for about 12 years. Recommend to all my friends Reasonably priced and they give me a discount when I renew. Thank you

Last Saturday I posted an unhappy review on Driver Guardian.
Since then their customer service has been excellent. I have had conversations with two of their team & they were able to explain the even
ts of the evening in question.

Excellent cover at a good price

An excellent level of cover at a great price. I required assistance recently because of an electric/battery issue.
Locally-appointed recovery arrived slightly late (due to traffic!) and resolved the issue and we were on our way in a matter of minutes.
Thank you

A Curate's Egg

A very annoying feature of D.G. is getting through in the first place.
I have always had a problem in convincing the first layer of reception that I am, in fact, a paid-up member.
For that reason, I keep a copy of the latest letter from in my glove compartment. I shouldn't have to go through this when I am stressed out already with a car problem.
Once I do get on the system, all is well: services arrive on schedule and efficiently get me back on the road.
You really need to look seriously at your 'front line'.

I’ve been with you for 3/4 years have not had a problem
So I’ve not had to call on your services, but the good thing is the price has stayed the same, but I do know people that have and they speak highly.
