Breakdown & Recovery

Picture the scene:

It’s late, it’s dark and it’s raining.

You break down, in the middle of nowhere / on the motorway / your car won’t start…

You call your breakdown service, and within a short time, they have someone on the scene with you. In just a few minutes, they get your car going and see you safely on your way. The AA, for example, fixes 8 out of 10 breakdowns at the side of the road.

Breakdown & Recovery ServicesIf it comes to the worst and your car cannot be fixed at the roadside, the breakdown company will tow it to a nearby garage or take you can the car on to your original destination (depending on the level of cover you’ve chosen).

Your breakdown company may even provide you with a courtesy car while yours is being fixed.

Now think about the alternative – no breakdown cover. You have to rely on friends or family members to come and bail you out – wherever you might be – or pay full price to have a breakdown company come out and fix or recover your car.

Just one call out will probably cost more than a year’s membership of a breakdown service – is it really worth the risk?
