Choosing Your Breakdown Cover

How to choose the right breakdown policy.

How do I choose the right policy?

It really depends on your circumstances. For example, a person who drives alone a lot may want the security of knowing they'll reach their destination if their car breaks down, and would therefore opt for a "Rescue, Recovery and Onward Travel" type policy.

A person who is quite knowledgeable on cars, however, and does not travel very far in their vehicle may just need a "Rescue" only policy.

And a family who go on driving holidays in the UK and abroad may favour a comprehensive "Rescue, Recovery, At Home, Onward Travel and European" type-combination.

We recommend that you decide the level of cover you want, then look at the policies available. This will help you make a more informed decision as to which company and which provider best meets your requirements and your budget.

One of the most important things to bear in mind is that cheapest is not always best. You need to balance the needs of your lifestyle with what you can afford. However, it is useful to have an idea of the level of cover you require before you start to shop around.
