About Breakdown Cover:

What is covered with Breakdown Cover?

All the different tiers of Breakdown Cover offer assistance over a 1⁄4 mile away to ensure we can get you going no matter where you are. You also get local recovery up to 10 miles away from wherever you break down, so you can get your car back home or to the nearest garage if the problem can’t be fixed at the roadside. On average 92.8% of 1,537 customers were able to complete their journey.

Asda partnered with Britannia Rescue Breakdown offer three types of breakdown cover for your vehicle, ranging from standard roadside coverage up to assistance anywhere in Europe.

Why do I need breakdown cover?

From a puncture to engine troubles, you never know when something might go wrong on a long journey. By having Breakdown Cover with Asda's Partner Britannia Rescue, you know you can rely on roadside recovery anywhere in the UK.

If you’re not insured for breakdown cover then you can still make a call out to one of the many companies that offer breakdown assistance, but you will have to pay whatever fees they charge for non-members which can be very expensive compared to having your own breakdown cover.

What types of Breakdown Cover are available?

Roadside Cover

Roadside Cover lets you make up to six call-outs a year, so you’ll be covered anywhere in the UK if you’re at least a quarter of a mile from home. The maximum vehicle age for new Roadside Cover policies is 10 years old.

 

UK Breakdown Cover

UK Breakdown Cover has no vehicle age limits, providing assistance for almost any vehicle. It includes Home Assist to help if your car won’t start, plus recovery to a local garage if needed. A hire car or alternative transport can be provided if your vehicle breaks down unexpectedly.

 

European Breakdown Cover

European Breakdown Cover is perfect if you think you’ll be going continental in the next 12 months and still want all the benefits of our UK Breakdown Cover like alternative transport if necessary and Home Assist.

Top Breakdown Cover FAQs:

What should I do if I break down?

If you break down at the roadside:

  • Switch on your hazard lights so other drivers can see your vehicle
  • When it is safe, get out of your vehicle and move to a safe distance from the road
  • If you have breakdown cover through Asda Money’s partner Britannia Rescue, you’ll then need to call the 24-hour UK breakdown cover helplineon 0330 678 7144, They will guide you through the next steps
What’s the average wait time for breakdown assistance?

Response times can vary depending on location and traffic conditions. Asda Money’s partner, Britannia Rescue, aims to be with you within one hour. If there’s a delay, you’ll be kept informed.

What is the difference between breakdown cover and roadside assistance?

Roadside assistance is the most basic level of breakdown cover. It helps if your vehicle breaks down at least a certain distance from home (usually ¼ mile) and typically includes a set number of callouts per year.

More comprehensive breakdown cover (like UK or European Cover) includes roadside assistance but may also offer things like unlimited callouts, home start, onward travel, and more.

What does home start mean on breakdown cover?

Home start (also known as home assist) means you can request help if your vehicle won’t start at or near your home address. Not all levels of cover include this, so it’s worth checking cover details to see if home start is included.

Can I get breakdown cover on a second car?

Most standard breakdown policies cover a single vehicle. However, some providers allow you to add a second car for an additional fee.
