Can't find details pay twice

Had a policy for many years never needed to call,my daughter was on the policy and changed her car.phoned them to change details
informed by Britannia I have no policy.Told them they take the money each year by automatic renewal,they tried all addresses and vehicles etc no joy no policy was found.Lucky we didn't ever need to use it I thought 🤔.Paid for the cover I needed five months later I get an email stating their taking the money for the auto renewal.so I actually have 2 policies covering the same vehicles phoned and they tell me they won't charge for cancelling one of them as it was their mistake.The customer service chap says he'll send email to those with power to see if he can refund the 5 month period we have 2 policies, but he's not sure if anything can be done.
I can tell you this is also more than an hour of your life you'll never get back

The lady who answered my breakdown call could not have been more helpful in organising my quick recovery on the M25. She was calm, polite and reassuring.

Great service

Initial Response was quick. Service agent was then very clear, and estimated time of arrival correctly. Pick up driver was good, respectful of our needs, and delivered us and our vintage car very efficiently to our destination. Great service

Cheap for a reason

Second time yesterday I had to call these for a breakdown and just like the first time the operator on the end of the phone didn’t have a clue what he was on about and his tone of voice was very downgrading. Safe to say I won’t be renewing with you!!
