I haven't got the policy document yet, but when I spoke to them on the phone they said breakdown cover was included.

A friend of mine has a Yamaha V Max insured with them, he says the price and the cover are very good

Here's another vote for Peter James.

You speak to a human (not a sequence of machines) who knows what you are talking about. They answer quickly without putting you on hold. They don't try to flog you household/life cover etc.
European breakdown, agreed value, unlimited mileage included.
They gave the best quote I could find by some margin.

Incidently, I used to be with FJ and agree with what has been said. They went downhill fast when they were taken over. Peter James, the co-founder of that company sold it off and started again.

I also used A Flux briefly and I know what V8 is talking about - it seems very little is actually included in their premium, everything is "extra"! Modified classics are no problem to Peter James either.

I also changed to Peter James. Got my renewal from Peter Best with 25% increase. Changed to Peter James & saved almost £50. Everything included as Chris said. When I told Peter Best I wasn't renewing, I wasn't even asked why! I would guess the powers that be don't know what the renewal guy is like on the phone - it'll cost them another one in Oct. when the Zephyr is due.
Cheers,JD.

Had the policy come through today the breakdown cover is good, with just a few limitations

Yes they do. I for one do not own and never will own a modern car again, that is unless the politicians force me to do so!

Worth asking, they seem quite accomodating when I've spoken to them.

I have my Aston with Hagerty and find them very competitive and easy to deal with.
