If you are not sure whether you have Breakdown cover please check your ‘Insurance Schedule’ document in your
customer portal.
I think I have cover with my bank
If your bank only provides basic cover this will limit the type of assistance they can deal with. For example, offering roadside assistance only. Our range of Breakdown Cover options gives you a wider choice and more flexibility.
My car is new so I should be OK without Breakdown Cover
Although it may be more reliable than an older car, a new car is not always breakdown proof. For example, a high proportion of breakdowns are due to a flat battery which is included in our Breakdown Cover.
