Breakdown Cover

 

Breakdown CoverHaving breakdown cover can be invaluable if you experience car trouble. Once a breakdown has been reported a team of qualified mechanics will be on-call to help you get your car back on the road and you to your destination. Depending on the specific breakdown cover company, your assistance will either be provided by a specialist team of mechanics or by the nearest approved garage. There are several different levels of breakdown cover available, ranging from basic roadside assistance to comprehensive cover which includes features such as emergency accommodation and car hire. Other levels of cover can include relay and home start features too.  When selecting a policy consider whether cover for you or your car is more suitable. Some other points to consider when selecting your insurance include being aware of policies that include ‘free’ European cover and other complimentary features as they will usually be built into the premium price. 'Pay and claim’ insurance policies are more difficult to find and less convenient but typically work out much cheaper. It really goes without saying but always checking the small print to see what is covered by a policy and of course if you are unsure about anything always contact the provider before you buy. Try and buy online when possible (as it is usually cheaper) and try to take advantage of limited-period deals which are regularly offered by the major breakdown cover providers. If you are a ‘high-risk’ customer (e.g. most providers assume that younger people will make more call outs) then you might get better value cover with a company that has fixed vehicle-based prices.
