The company mainly operates online, but will provide customer service over the telephone once you've obtained your quote and then for a period of up to 28 days after your purchase. Lines are open between Monday to Friday 08:00-20:00, Saturday 09:00-17:00 and Sunday 10:00-16:00. General Accident's friendly staff are there to make sure you get the policy that's right for you, so you won't end up paying for things you don't need.

Then, either in your home or on the go, you can manage your account online by making amendments yourself without an administration fee, as well as being able to access your insurance details and print policy documents whenever you want.

Managing your account online means it doesn’t need to operate large call centres. This helps them to keep its costs low, giving you great value cover at a low price. Although it keeps its prices competitive, General Accident is still able to offer you great benefits as standard with comprehensive cover:

• A courtesy car (subject to availability)
• EU cover up to 90 days

For additional cover, it can also offer key cover, legal protection and up to four levels of breakdown cover from the RAC.
