The policy will provide Emergency Breakdown Assistance if the insured vehicle cannot be driven or is unsafe to drive following a breakdown, fire, theft or attempted theft or damage. We will also provide cover if the vehicle suffers a puncture, flat battery, runs out of fuel, is misfuelled or if the keys are broken or lost. It provides peace of mind for motorists in case of an unexpected emergency. Policy cover is offered alongside or automatically included within a motor insurance policy through a broker or insurer scheme.

Problems are reported via a 24 hour / 365 day emergency assistance telephone helpline and will be dealt with by a network of quality-approved repairers and recovery operators.

Home Start and Roadside Assistance

  • Up to one hour’s labour costs to carry out emergency repairs to try to make the insured vehicle driveable.

Local Recovery

  • Recovery to a local garage or to the policyholder’s home (if nearer) if the breakdown cannot be fixed at the roadside within one hour.

Onward Travel

If the insured vehicle cannot be fixed on the same day as the breakdown, we will either:

  • Transport the insured vehicle and all insured persons to a destination within the UK; or
  • Provide a temporary replacement car for up to 24 hours; or
  • Provide one night’s accommodation up to £75 (including VAT) per person subject to a maximum of £500 (including VAT).

Urgent Message Service

  • Passes on messages to family, friends or work colleagues to let them know that the insured vehicle has broken down.

Misfuel Assistance

  • If the wrong fuel is put into the insured vehicle, we will arrange for the contaminated fuel to be drained and top up the fuel tank with 10 litres of the correct fuel.

Lost or Broken Keys

  • Transporting the insured vehicle to a safe location if the only available set of keys are unexpectedly broken, lost or locked in the insured vehicle.

Driver Illness or Injury

  • A replacement driver to take the insured vehicle and all passengers to a single destination if the main driver is taken ill or is injured and there is no other passenger authorised to drive the insured vehicle.

Cover Options

  • We can provide schemes with and without Home Start Assistance.

Territorial Limits

  • Our standard product covers breakdowns which happen in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. We can also provide schemes which extend cover for trips to certain European countries.
