UK and European motor breakdown cover

Our comprehensive motor breakdown cover is designed to keep your vehicle on the road both at home and abroad so you don’t have to worry about any technical hitches. And if for some reason your car cannot be fixed the same day, it guarantees full recovery for you and your vehicle to either your intended destination or your home. If appropriate it also provides overnight accommodation for you and your passengers. We think it’s much more reassuring that way.

  • Over 2 million drivers in the UK have 24-hiour access to our extensive range of motor assistance services, 365 days a year.
  • Average response time of 40 minutes
  • We fix 80% of vehicles that can be repaired at the roadside.
