How Does Breakdown Cover Work?

Breakdown cover typically lasts for 12 months and functions similarly to an insurance policy. When choosing your cover, you’ll decide on the level of coverage you need and any optional extras. From basic roadside assistance to comprehensive home start, breakdown cover ensures you’re never left stranded.

Types of Breakdown Cover

Personal Cover:
Protects you as a driver, no matter which vehicle you’re in, as long as it meets your policy conditions.
Vehicle Cover:
Covers a specific car, van, or motorbike, ensuring any driver has access to breakdown services.

What Happens if I Break Down Without Breakdown Cover?

If you break down without existing cover, you can still get emergency assistance, but it will be more expensive due to immediate call-out fees. Having breakdown cover in place beforehand saves you money and hassle in such situations.
