Find the Right Plan for You
Breakdown Cover Types Explained
Our entry level of cover gets help to you fast when you break down more than a mile from home. A recovery operator will spend up to an hour at the roadside attempting a repair, whether that’s a flat tyre, a flat battery or a mechanical fault. If your vehicle can’t be fixed there and then, we’ll recover you, your vehicle and up to four passengers to the nearest suitable garage or a destination of your choice within 25 miles.
Everything in Roadside Assistance, with a vital extra: if your vehicle can’t be repaired the same day, we’ll recover you, your vehicle and up to four passengers to your home or any UK destination. Onward travel benefits, including public transport, a hire vehicle or an overnight hotel stay, help make sure a breakdown doesn’t bring your plans to a halt.
Take your full UK cover to the continent. Annual European Cover protects you across 30 European countries for up to 90 days a year, with individual trips of up to 30 days. If you break down in Europe, you’ll get roadside assistance and recovery to the nearest suitable garage, with our 24-hour claims line behind you throughout. Back in the UK, all your National Recovery and Onward Travel benefits apply as normal. Only travelling once? Single Trip Cover protects journeys of up to 31 days.

Upgrade Your Cover with Valuable Add-Ons
Breakdown cover extras to strengthen your protection
Build on your breakdown cover with optional extras designed around the real costs of motoring: Excess Protection, Key Cover, and Parts & Labour. Each one targets a bill you'd otherwise pay yourself.
Parts & Labour
A breakdown is rarely just the inconvenience at the roadside. The repair bill that follows is often the painful part, with the average unexpected repair now costing over £400. Parts & Labour cover reimburses the cost of parts and labour for repairs arising directly from a breakdown we’ve attended, so the recovery truck isn’t followed by a bill you weren’t expecting. Up to two reimbursements per year, with full details of covered parts in the membership wording.
Excess Protection
You choose an excess to keep your motor insurance premium down, then an accident happens and it’s suddenly real money. Excess Protection reimburses the excess you’ve paid following a successful claim on your motor insurance for accidental damage, fire, theft or vandalism, up to your annual limit. If the incident wasn’t your fault and your excess isn’t recovered from the third party within six months, we’ll reimburse it. A simple way to make a bigger excess affordable.
Key Cover
Modern car keys are small computers, and replacing one can run to hundreds of pounds. Key Cover pays the cost of a replacement key if yours is lost or stolen, up to £500 a year, whether it’s your car key or house key. Your keys are even covered on trips abroad for up to 90 days a year, with replacements arranged back in the UK.
