  • We get to most breakdowns in 60 mins or less
  • Our patrols fix 4/5 breakdowns on the spot

Vehicle breakdown cover is typically our most affordable level of cover and provides protection for the vehicle, rather than the driver. This type of breakdown cover is ideal for

  • If you only travel frequently in one vehicle – this can be more cost-effective than other levels of cover
  • If you’re part of a family or household that shares one vehicle between multiple people

Personal breakdown cover protects a named person instead of a specific car. The policy holder is covered if the car they’re driving breaks down but also if they’re a passenger in another car, driven by someone else. This type of policy is perfect for:

  • People who regularly drive more than one vehicle
  • People that frequently travel as passengers in someone else’s vehicle

  • 2 x FREE car health checks – worth £20 each2
