Still have questions?
If your vehicle breaks down in the UK, call our 24-hour rescue line and request assistance. Please quote your registration and have your location ready as well as a contact telephone number.
We will first attempt to repair your vehicle by the roadside, but if this is not possible we will arrange vehicle recovery to the nearest garage able to undertake the repair. In the event, you break down and there isn't a garage available, we will arrange transport for you, your vehicle and any extra passengers to your home address or original destination.
We aim to have a recovery operator with you within 60 minutes, however, this may vary in mainland Europe, depending on your location.
Yes, you are entitled to assistance for lack of fuel or running out of charge. We will recover you, the vehicle and any passengers to the nearest fuelling facility.
Depending on your circumstances we may decide to provide alternative accommodation. Within the UK, we will pay a maximum of £150.00 for a lone traveller or £75.00 per person towards the reasonable cost of overnight accommodation including breakfast for you and the passengers whilst the vehicle is being repaired. The maximum emergency overnight accommodation payment per incident is £500.00.
For European policies where breakdowns occur abroad and the vehicle cannot be repaired on the same working day and results in you not being able to stay at your pre-booked accommodation, the limit is increased to £150.00 per person for one night.
The maximum emergency overnight accommodation abroad payment per incident is £1000.00.
This process is on a pay and claim basis and authorisation must be gained from our rescue coordinator.
No, any work carried out, other than roadside assistance, will be a separate contract between you and the repairing garage. You will need to pay for all parts fitted roadside or at the repairing garage.
