UK breakdown cover
You can choose to add UK and European breakdown cover to your car insurance policy as an optional extra.
The following is provided with all levels of cover:
Let someone know you're safe – phone or text friends, family or colleagues if you breakdown.
Recover your caravan or trailer – transport for a caravan or trailer being towed during a breakdown to ensure it gets to your destination too.
Aim to repair your car at the roadside - cover labour costs for roadside assistance.
Give you money back - if help doesn't reach you within one hour, you can claim €10 for the inconvenience.
Provide you with a no call out discount - if you don't use your breakdown cover in the year.
Protect you, not just your car - personal cover provides assistance, whether you're in your own car or someone else's. (The car must be privately UK-registered, travelling in the UK and less than 16 years old).
Four cover levels:
| Level of cover | Breakdown | Homecall | Rescue | Homecall and Rescue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Send messages to friends and family if you breakdown |  | | | |
| Cover for those authorised to drive your vehicle | | | | |
| Caravan or trailer cover when being towed by the insured car | | | | |
| Free recovery service to a repairer within 10 miles | | | | |
| Free labour for roadside repairs | | | | |
| 24hr garage call out | | | | |
| Cover if you’re a 1/4 mile from home | | | | |
| Home address cover |  | | | |
| Transport of you and your vehicle to any UK destination | | | | |
| Hire car use - or hotel | | | | |
