Many policies will give you a choice between a personal policy or a vehicle policy:

  • Vehicle cover – With a vehicle policy you nominate a vehicle for breakdown coverage, this means the vehicle has breakdown cover no matter who is driving it, as long as they are legally allowed to do so. Some packages will let you pay extra to insure more than one vehicle against breakdowns under the same policy.
  • Personal Cover – A personal policy covers a specific person rather than vehicle, this means whatever car they break down in whether it’s their own, a spouse’s or a friend’s they have breakdown cover. It often works even if they are just a passenger of the vehicle when it breaks down. Some policies allow you to pay extra to get cover for multiple members of the same household.

Levels of cover:

Many of the providers of breakdown insurance offer their products with different levels of comprehensiveness, although the names of package and exactly what is covered will vary by provider common features are.

  • Roadside assistance: The cheapest level offered by a provider, typically provides a certain amount of time of free labour at roadside, and if the issue cannot be fixed there a tow to a nearby garage, or to your home if it is closer with some packages. Some more comprehensive policies may offer you a lift to your original destination.
  • Home Assistance: roadside assistance with many providers will not provide you with cover if your vehicle won’t start as your leaving your home, or if you breakdown close to your home (usually if it breaks down between a quarter mile to one mile radius of your registered home address). In these events you would need a home assistance policy included on your plan to be covered.
  • Onward Travel: If your vehicle could not be fixed at the roadside or within a certain time frame at a garage an onward travel policy may offer you a hire car for a period of time, to continue your journey or to put you up in nearby accommodation overnight while repairs are made.
  • European Cover: Driving elsewhere in Europe outside of the UK a standard breakdown policy would not cover you in many cases. To ensure you have breakdown insurance for this you would need to take out a policy that includes European cover.

Whether you drive often or less frequently, having breakdown cover in place is a good idea, as if you do breakdown getting help to come to assistance at the road side can be far more costly if you don’t have a comprehensive level of breakdown cover.

Although what each provider will cover you for varies in general they can help you with many other aspects than just a mechanical fault with your vehicle, for instance they could help if you lock your keys inside the car or if you run out of fuel on your journey.

Car breakdown cover plans come in different forms but generally provide a home option whereby if your car is within a certain mileage from your home the breakdown company will provide assistance.

  • Roadside plans require normally that you are outside a certain distance from home and if the vehicle cannot be repaired then it will be towed to a garage within a certain distance.
  • More comprehensive plans will provide additional services such as transporting you to your intended destination, putting you up for the night in accommodation if necessary, and car hire. It is important that you understand what your breakdown plan is covering you for so there are no unexpected surprises if your vehicle breaks down.

You will also find that to incite customers many breakdown insurance providers offer special discounts and incentives throughout the years, therefore you may want to view what offers are currently available from the different providers before you make your decision.
