- If you've broken down, call the breakdown number: it's answered 24/7
- Have your account, policy or card number ready, and pass security first
- Say “speak to someone” or choose the option for an existing account or claim
- For a complaint, say the word “complaint” clearly so it gets logged
- Ask for a reference number before you hang up
