Select what you would like to find out about, or scroll down to read them all
We can provide a single trip policy from as little as £16.50 for five days or £20.50 for a week. You can cover up to 91 days in a single trip.
Alternatively we have an annual policy, which covers multiple trips up to 60 days in a year, although only 31 days in any one trip. With our European annual policy, we include the Complete UK Cover as well.
Please note that single trip European Cover is only available on vehicles and not as personal cover. You can purchase personal European Cover, however it must be an annual policy. That comes with Full UK Cover as standard.
Our single cover policies whether personal or vehicle insure up to six call outs during the term of the policy. If you purchase a joint personal or dual vehicle policy you are entailed to a combined maximum of nine call outs.

What Is Not Covered
The First 48 Hours
We sell an insurance policy to protect your vehicle and its occupants against the risks of experiencing an unexpected breakdown. The cost of our policy is far cheaper than paying for a breakdown service if you do suffer a breakdown. In an effort to prevent people who have already broken down attempting to buy a policy to benefit from the prudence of others, which would then raise premiums for everyone, our policy restricts claims for incidents arising during the first 48 hours of cover (or before) in the first year of cover.
60 Days Cover – Individual Trips Exceeding 31 days
The policy covers up to 60 days of trips within the period of insurance with a maximum of 31 days in any one trip.
Cover Prior to Departure
The cover under this section of the policy (section 1) is only available where you make your purchase more than 10 days before departure of your intended trip.
Look After Your Vehicle
No one wants to experience a breakdown, so you should always ensure that your vehicle is properly serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines, especially if you are embarking on a long journey. Like most breakdown policies, we cannot cover vehicles which have not been properly serviced.
No Replacement Parts
We do not cover the cost of replacement parts.
Specialist Equipment
The policy does not cover specialist off highway recovery or winching costs (for example, where the vehicle has overturned or is without wheels).
Please Note: The above is only a summary of the benefits provided. You should read the Policy Wording for the full terms and conditions before you buy. You can also read the Keyfacts Documents.
