Save on Breakdown Cover and Get Quotes Through our Comparison Service

Roadside assistance service can stop your journey becoming a nightmare

Breakdown cover is not legally required but can save you a lot of heartache as well as money!

When you have breakdown cover in place, you automatically know who to contact should you find yourself stranded at the side of a road. Without membership of a recovery service, you are likely to discover calling out a tow truck will cost you a small fortune.

By comparing breakdown policies you can find some great deals. You can also choose between policies which include additional benefits such as onward transportation to your destination and helping you start your car at home should it breakdown on your driveway.

You can opt for dual membership policies or those which include the whole family at home. The level of cover you choose will determine the cost of your policy but you can make some fantastic savings by looking out for offers and discounts.

We feature all our breakdown cover promo codes in one place so you won't miss out.

One important decision you may need to make is to choose between a vehicle based cover or personal based cover, both of which are offered by the RAC.

With a vehicle based policy, anyone who is driving the vehicle listed on the policy is covered. This could be a great option if you have one family car which is shared

Personal based policies cover the person, no matter which vehicle they are in. So, if you have a policy but are travelling in a friend's car when it breaks down, you can call for roadside assistance.

Roadside assistance can help with flat or punctured tyres, dead batteries as well as many other reasons why your car might not be working as it should. You can also often get help if you run out of fuel - though it won't cover the petrol you need to fill the tank!

Added extras can include cover for lost keys and cover if you are travelling within Europe. Many of the well-known companies can offer a breakdown service for other vehicles including motorbikes.

If you do find yourself about to set off on a road trip and you haven't sorted out roadside assistance then there are a number of companies that can offer immediate breakdown cover.
