Car Breakdown Services

When looking at the different car break down services available, it is important to work out what level of cover you actually need. There are many policies to choose from, with most insurers offering a basic or standard package and then optional extras for additional cost.

Standard cover provided by most break down services usually includes:

Help if you break down when you are ¼ mile away from home
Assistance in getting you and your car to the nearest garage
No call-out fees
Interest-fee monthly payment option
A ‘no call-out’ discount

With extra, optional cover, you can usually receive:

Home break down cover which means the company will assist if your car breaks down on the driveway or closer than 1/4mile from your home.
Taking you to a UK destination of your choice, perhaps home or to your original destination, not just to the nearest garage.
Assistance in the event of an accident
A hire car or travel/accommodation expenses if your can is not immediately repairable
