Breakdown Insurance
Overview
Imagine setting out on a long drive only to have your car break down halfway. If your vehicle is over three years old, experts suggest there's a greater than 10% chance of this happening annually, especially during winter months. While regular maintenance can help prevent these situations, securing breakdown insurance provides financial protection when unexpected issues arise.
Types of Breakdown Cover
Roadside Rescue
This type of coverage assists if your vehicle breaks down beyond a certain distance from your home. The insurance pays for servicing costs except for new parts. However, breakdowns that occur close to your home are not covered.
Home Rescue
Home Rescue offers similar benefits to Roadside Rescue but includes incidents occurring at or near your home. It also covers the expense of getting your vehicle checked at a local garage.
Recovery Plus
Offering comprehensive coverage, Recovery Plus handles both home and roadside breakdowns. It provides a hire car so you can continue your journey or return home. Additionally, it covers the costs of alternative transportation, and if you're stranded far from home, the policy may include hotel accommodation while repairs are completed.
Continental Cover
For those in the UK traveling across Europe, European Rescue Breakdown Cover addresses roadside breakdowns while driving on the continent. It pays for the repair or return of your vehicle to the UK, though new parts are not covered. This is essential, as towing fees can accumulate quickly during cross-border travels.
Partner and Family Policies
Certain policies extend coverage to a spouse or partner, often requiring that they live at the same address. Family plans typically cover you, a partner, and two children under 21 residing with you. Ensure your policy includes all individuals traveling in your vehicle.
Important Considerations
Expect a wait time of 25 minutes to an hour for roadside assistance. Many plans limit the number of assistance calls to five or six per year, but joint or family covers may offer more. Exceeding this limit might result in additional charges. Remember, new parts, trailers, caravans, and pets are usually not covered. Always review the details of your policy to understand its full extent.
By choosing the right breakdown insurance, you ensure peace of mind and financial protection when traveling, no matter where the road takes you.
