Nova Direct
Reviews & Experiences

Reviews show a pattern of affordable pricing and generally helpful customer service for routine enquiries and policy management. Several reviewers praise named agents for quick, patient assistance with account changes and technical problems. However, multiple negative reports concern emergency response, European cover handling and limited reimbursement amounts during breakdowns. When comparing options, check the policy terms for reimbursement limits and out‑of‑hours cover, and consider whether occasional negative emergency experiences are acceptable given lower premiums.
