Only not given 5☆ as quite a long wait to be answered! Perhaps you could give an indication as to how long before call will be answered. Otherwise very good service and helpful assistant.

Online portal and phone handling is poor

I have used AXA for breakdown cover for a number of years now. On the few occasions I've had to report a breakdown the level of service has been on a par with the big names in this industry.

This year was a very poor one for the renewals process however. For some reason (admitted but not explained), AXA can no longer take direct debits and this has caused any policy set to auto renewal to enter into a "doom loop" on their online portal making it impossible to renew online and forcing you onto their phone line to renew. Whilst I didn't have to wait too long to complete the renewal over the phone on the second attempt, for some reason the first attempted call went silent without disconnecting.

Process to acquire was relatively simple. Purchased ahead of start date for the Breakdown cover so cannot comment ahead .... but the Breakdown Cover Market needs to be more competitive. The AA and RAC - and other Companies - are, in my humble opinion, milking the market and AXA are certainly doing their part to restore a reasonable balance.
