Don't Break Down 80 Miles From Home!!!!

1
What a waste of time this lot were last October when we broke down 80 miles from home. It took almost 4 hours for them to get someone to us; car couldn't be fixed on spot so taken to a breakdown depot - rather than a proper garage - spent hours there and finally told car wasn't worth fixing. Spoke on phone to Drive 24/7 again saying we wanted taking home with our car - they said they would but it would cost us £350! Depot manager said they would do it for £275. So having little choice asked them to take us and the car home. Finally got home about 9 hours after making initial call to Drive 24/7. Our local garage then fixed our car in a few hours and at a reasonable cost - it's still running fine now. Tried to contact Drive 24/7 to make a claim for repayment of cost of getting home, but could not get reply - by post or email. So now my complaint has gone to the Ombudsman - waiting to see what happens next. So, take my advice and avoid using Drive 24/7. Reviewed on: 20th March 2018
