Where We Help You?
- Our European Breakdown Policy covers most territories in Europe - Click here to see the full list
- You will receive all the benefits of our full UK Policy throughout the year on our annual policy and the same benefits will also apply to the UK part of your journey on our single trip policies
- See our UK Benefits for more details
Who We Help?
- We Cover the Vehicle;
- The Driver, and
- Up to 4 Passengers
What Is Not Covered?
We only cover vehicles under 9 years old (annual policies) and up to 13 years old (single trip).
- The First 72 Hours After Purchasing Cover
We sell an insurance policy to protect your vehicle and its occupants against the risks of experiencing an unexpected breakdown. The cost of our policy is far cheaper than paying for a breakdown service if you do suffer a breakdown.
In an effort to prevent people who have already broken down attempting to buy a policy to benefit from the prudence of others (which would then raise premiums for everyone), our policy restricts claims for incidents arising during the first 72 hours from the time of purchase.
- 60 Days Cover – Individual Trips Exceeding 31 days
The policy covers up to 60 days of trips within the period of insurance with a maximum of 31 days in any one trip.
- EU Single Trip
We only cover you if you are within the dates selected for your policy. Although we provide cover on the UK part of your journey to Europe, trips solely made in the UK are not covered under this type of policy.
- Look After Your Vehicle
No one wants to experience a breakdown, so you should always ensure that your vehicle is properly serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines, especially if you are embarking on a long journey. Like most breakdown policies, we cannot cover vehicles which have not been properly serviced.
- No Replacement Parts
We do not cover the cost of replacement parts.
- Faults Within the First 30 Days
We do not cover battery, ignition or electrical faults within the first 30 days of commencement of the policy.
- Specialist Equipment
The policy does not cover specialist off highway recovery or winching costs (for example, where the vehicle has overturned or is without wheels).
Please Note: The above is only a summary of the benefits provided. You should read the Policy Wording for the full terms and conditions before you buy. You can also read the Keyfacts Documents.
