What is Breakdown Cover?

Experiencing a breakdown can not only be a costly and inconvenient experience, but it can also be quite traumatic.

When you break down, whether you're on holiday or out making deliveries as a courier, you want a service that responds quickly to your circumstances, especially if you're vulnerable. That’s the role of breakdown cover. Also known as roadside assistance, breakdown cover is a type of insurance service that provides assistance and support to motorists when their vehicles experience mechanical or electrical failure, leaving them stranded on the roadside.

We work with both AXA Assistance and RAC Breakdown, and this allows us to provide our clients cover for 365 days a year, and 24 hours a day. This cover also includes the following:

• Roadside assistance
• Recovery
• Vehicles repairs at home
• Repairs following a mis-fuelling incident
• Home call
• European cover
• Local & nationwide recovery
• Car hire and / or accommodation
• Message relay

It's quick and easy to arrange breakdown cover and there’s no forms to fill in, so what are you waiting for? Call us or visit a Howden branch today and learn more about how we can help you get a hold of breakdown cover plan that suits you.
