Default GEM Motoring Breakdown ~ any experience?

The Daily Mail reports that GEM breakdown insurance cover came out well
in a recent Auto Express survey. See http://preview.tinyurl.com/67yhyz

The full list, in order of overall rating, was:
1 GEM Motoring Assist;
2 Autonational Rescue;
3 RAC;
4 National Breakdown;
5 More Than;
6 Green Flag;
7 The AA;
8 Norwich Union;
9 Tesco;
10 Direct Line;
11 Churchill

I've never heard of GEM. Has anyone used them. What were they like?

I think with GEM, you call out a recovery (or call them and they send
one from a local garage), then you pay the recovery guy and claim back
from GEM.

Curious - I'm with AutoAid (a similar sort-it-yourself insurance scheme
to how you described GEM). I see they are not on the list but they are
very highly rated by the people at the MoneySavingExpert.com website..

I wonder if Auto Express knows something I don't or just didn't consider
them?
