Our verdict on each
Gigasure
Gigasure suits people in the UK who want travel or van cover alone rather than a full personal lines policy, and car hire excess cover starts at £36.35. It is a broker registered with the Financial Conduct Authority, so the selling firm is named, regulated and checkable.
Green Flag
Green Flag is a UK insurer built for breakdown cover, plus motorcycle and van policies, and it suits drivers who want cover paid month by month rather than settled in a single yearly bill. Set against other breakdown providers, its entry price sits close to the €23.33 median.

Pros and cons
Gigasure
Pros
- Excess on car hire excess cover runs £0 to £10,000, so a traveller chooses how much of the rental charge to carry instead of accepting a fixed figure.
- Claims are filed through the app and website and support runs on email, chat and phone, giving policyholders live and written routes inside the same provider.
- The FCA registration 1005421 sits on a broker, so the firm taking the instruction is named and checkable by the customer.
Cons
- The catalogue is travel and van, so anyone wanting home, motor or life in the same place has to move to another provider.
- On entry price Gigasure ranks 199 of 252 across the site, so the starting figure sits high in a list sorted from the lowest premium.
- The 5.1 overall score is a middling one, and its 5.1 cost part is the same, so the price case is the part that needs arguing.
Green Flag
Pros
- It is an insurer rather than a broker (insurer), so the contract is with Green Flag Limited.
- Monthly payments are available, and monthly is the only model listed.
- Help runs on phone, chat and help centre, and claims can be started by phone, mobile app and live chat.
Cons
- Support runs on phone, chat and help centre only, with no email channel in the list.
- Only breakdown, motorcycle and van are offered here, so there is no car insurance in the list.
- Access to the monthly model is limited by age: 18+ for monthly payments.
Who each suits
Gigasure
Who it suits
- Travellers inside the 18-75 single trip, 18-70 annual multi-trip bands, whether they are booking a single trip or an annual multi-trip policy.
- Anyone taking a car hire excess policy who wants the excess set themselves, with options running £0 to £10,000.
- Van owners who want travel and van held by the same broker, given the range is travel and van.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers after auto, home or pet in the same place: Good Sam Insurance Agency lists auto, home and renters.
- Readers comparing a UK budget with another market: EuroAsia Insurance is priced at UZS 60,000 in Uzbek soum, which does not line up with a UK travel or van figure.
Green Flag
Who it suits
- Drivers whose motorbike or van could break down away from home and who want the cost spread monthly.
- Motorcycle and van owners, since breakdown, motorcycle and van covers both alongside breakdown assistance.
- People who would rather deal with an insurer directly than through a broker.
Who should look elsewhere
- Good Sam Insurance Agency, if you want auto, home, life, health, travel, pet and motorcycle under a single provider, which is its auto, home and renters.
- Hiscox UK, whose home, renters and landlord sit with home, renters, landlord and auto cover rather than roadside breakdown.
- EuroAsia Insurance, whose auto, home and travel centre on auto, home, travel and gadget cover.

Questions about each
Gigasure
What does Gigasure actually sell?+
Gigasure is a focused personal lines broker and its range is travel and van, travel and van, with nothing else sitting alongside them. A shopper after a full household bundle is looking at a different kind of provider. Both lines sit inside the same brand, which keeps quoting and claims in the same place.
How much does car hire excess insurance cost?+
The entry figure is £36.35 for car hire excess cover, and the excess a traveller accepts on that policy runs £0 to £10,000. How much of the rental company's charge you agree to carry is the decision behind the quote, so £36.35 reads as the floor of the price rather than a typical bill.
Green Flag
Does Green Flag charge monthly or once a year?+
Green Flag runs on monthly payments, and the monthly model is the single option listed for this account type. That means the cost of breakdown, motorcycle or van cover is spread across the year rather than settled in a single bill, which suits people who prefer a predictable monthly outgoings figure.
What is the minimum age for monthly payments?+
The age rule for monthly payments is 18+ for monthly payments, so the account is open to adults. Younger drivers would be looking at a different arrangement, and the monthly model is the only model listed for this account, which keeps the eligibility question straightforward.
