Breakdown Cover

 
         

Often when you purchase a car you never can tell just how reliable it may be, even the most modern cars can suffer from problems and there may well be an instance where you require the assistance of a Breakdown Recovery Service at some point in the future. Broken Down Car

In the past, breakdown recovery was extremely costly and many people simply took their chance and had little or no cover at all.  However over the past few years, breakdown cover has become increasingly competitive and can be tailor made to meet your own individual needs.  For many people who only travel a few miles a week a basic recovery service is all that is required and can be obtained for as little as £30 per year.  This low level of cover simply gives you the reassurance that you have the cover and will always be able to get your car recovered if you do breakdown or have an accident.

A larger proportion of people tend to travel the length and breadth of England through work or for pleasure.  Ensuring the car you have is reliable is necessary to avoid the risk of a breakdown which can be both costly and cause undue stress.  For those that do travel frequently, having breakdown cover is a must, simply ask yourself what would you do if you broke down in the middle of nowhere miles away from home?  The chances are you would phone family of friends, but if you are miles away from your nearest friends then this is no longer a real option.  Additionally if you are involved in an accident you may need to get your vehicle safely removed from the roadside to a suitable garage or body shop. 

Having adequate cover does not mean you need to break the bank account, for example cover for your vehicle, which will take you to the nearest garage or alternatively take you home, can cost from £40 per year and will seem like the best £40 you have ever spent if you are unfortunate enough to find yourself stranded.  The level of service on offer can cover you to travel abroad and take your car to any garage of your choice, these benefits will increase the premium so be sure to select the cover that is right for you. 

As well as recovering your vehicle and taking you to the nearest garage, the Roadside Assistance cover also means that the mechanic will attempt to fix your car on the roadside, meaning you will hopefully be able to continue your journey without any fuss or hassle.

 There are many different companies offering breakdown cover, from the well known RAC and AA to the more little known companies who also offer an excellent level of service.  Whichever company you decide to go with, make sure you do your homework and ensure you select the right level of cover.
