Breakdown Cover
Owning a car is great. It gives you the freedom to go where you want to go, when you want to go there – but what happens when your car starts experiencing mechanical problems? The last thing anyone would want is to find themselves stranded far from home! Breakdown insurance will protect you if you get into difficulties because your vehicle has broken down. Typically, this type of cover will ensure that you receive roadside assistance in the event of emergency and offer other benefits such as free labour and recovery services for you and your vehicle. Some breakdown cover policies will even extend to the costs of your accommodation in the event of a serious fault or the cost of a hire car to use whilst your vehicle is being repaired. For most motorists, breakdown cover is a necessity.
There are a range of cover types and numerous companies for you to choose from. Types of cover may include all of the following or just a selection:
- Roadside assistance with up to one hours free labour
- Tow home or to a local garage
- Towing to any other single destination
- Home start
- Replacement car
- Overnight accommodation
- Alternative onward travel costs
- Message service to friends, family or colleagues
- Single way rail ticket for two to collect your car
- European cover
Decide which level of cover you want and can afford and then take some time shopping around, prices don’t differ greatly but some companies may be offering online discounts or other incentives. Naturally, every breakdown cover policy will vary in the extent of its cover and its exclusions. Be sure to find out exactly how far your breakdown cover policy will protect you by referring to the terms and conditions.
