Car Breakdown Cover Explained

Does car breakdown insurance cover repairs?

Generally, car insurance does not cover breakdown repairs. It simply covers the cost of the damage caused by the incident. This can be for your car and any other car involved. You should invest in breakdown cover to have peace of mind.

This service will provide you with beneficial support such as home assistance, local recovery, and nationwide recovery to ensure that you get the help you need no matter where you are.

How much does car breakdown cover cost?

The cost of car breakdown cover in the UK can vary depending on the provider. Here at 24|7 Home Rescue, we aim to provide the cheapest car breakdown cover and reliable service.

Our basic Home Start vehicle breakdown cover from £1.99 per month with the option to upgrade, whilst our more comprehensive personal car breakdown cover, Nationwide Recovery Plus, is available from £4.99 per month.

Do I need a breakdown cover for a new car?

Car breakdown cover is recommended as a safety measure for all cars, no matter their condition. Although breakdowns are less likely for newer vehicles, adding breakdown cover to your existing car insurance can provide you with an added sense of security. As we all know, cars can be unpredictable at times, and it helps to know that you’re covered in the event of a breakdown.

Does a breakdown cover fix your car?

Yes, breakdown cover aims to recover your car or at least tow it for repairs to be conducted. Breakdown cover is highly beneficial as it helps ensure you are not left stranded should an issue arise with your vehicle.

The best types of car breakdown cover will offer services such as home, local, and nationwide recovery, car hire, and overnight accommodation or alternative transport to your destination. These are all services we offer here at 24|7 Home Rescue. Contact us today to learn more about our breakdown coverage for cars.

Can I get breakdown cover for multiple vehicles?

Absolutely! You can obtain a multi-car breakdown cover to protect all your vehicles in case of unexpected breakdowns. We recommend reaching out to us directly so we can discuss your specific requirements and help you find the most suitable option tailored to your needs. Our team is here to assist you in comparing different options and benefits available, ensuring you have comprehensive coverage for each vehicle.

What happens if my car cannot be repaired on the spot?

For customers covered under the Nationwide Recovery Plus plan, if your vehicle cannot be repaired the same day, we will contribute up to £75 towards the cost of a hire car, alternative transport, or overnight accommodation, helping you continue your journey with minimal disruption. Evidence of costs will be required before reimbursement.

Please ensure that any recovery or further assistance is arranged directly through our 24-hour control centre by calling 0345 0774 177, as unauthorised arrangements may not be reimbursed.

How does the refer a friend promotional offer work?

Our Refer a Friend offer is simple and rewarding! For every friend you refer to us who signs up for any of our Car Breakdown Cover, you’ll receive a £25 cashback.

Once your friend completes their registration and the policy becomes active, we’ll process your cashback reward.
