Motorcycle Breakdown Cover
Breakdown cover for you and your motorcycle with Asda Money's partner Britannia Rescue Breakdown.
UK Roadside Motorcycle Recovery
Motorcycle breakdown cover in the UK is available through most providers, offering essential roadside assistance for motorbike riders. UK motorbike breakdown recovery ensures help is available if the motorcycle breaks down, whether that means roadside repairs or transportation to a nearby garage. This type of cover is designed to get riders back on the road or safely home as quickly as possible.
Access to over 4,000 trained breakdown professionals ensures rapid response in the event of issues like punctured tyres or more complex mechanical faults. Wherever possible, the goal is to fix the motorcycle at the roadside. If repairs cannot be completed on the spot, the vehicle will be taken to a local garage for further inspection and service.
Nationwide motorcycle breakdown cover typically includes roadside assistance starting at least a quarter of a mile from home, vehicle recovery to a local garage or a chosen destination up to 10 miles away, and coverage across the UK, including the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, and the Republic of Ireland. Most policies allow up to six callouts per year.
European motorcycle breakdown cover
For those planning motorbike trips across Europe, European motorcycle breakdown cover is a valuable addition. This type of cover provides peace of mind by extending roadside assistance and vehicle recovery services to countries throughout Europe, making it ideal for long-distance riders and biking holidays abroad.
European motorbike recovery can often be added to existing UK breakdown policies or purchased separately as a single-trip or annual policy. Annual cover typically allows unlimited trips within a year, although each individual trip may be subject to a maximum duration limit.
FAQs
- What types of motorcycle breakdown cover are there?
-
There are two main types of motorbike breakdown cover that you can choose from – these are either personal cover for you no matter what motorbike you’re riding or cover for your specific motorcycle.
Cover for you essentially covers the named person who rides the motorbike - or even if you’re just a passenger – so you can call on roadside assistance if you were to ever break down on any motorbike, scooter or moped. Personal cover policies can cover the policy holder and their partner living at the same address and can be useful for those who own more than one motorcycle.
Cover for the vehicle applies to a specific motorbike that is specified in your policy documents. It means that the bike is always protected regardless of who is riding it.
- What vehicles are included in motorcycle breakdown cover?
-
Motorbike breakdown cover usually includes cover for motorbikes, mopeds and scooters that are more than 49cc. Vehicles such as electric wheelchairs, electric pavement vehicles or any other vehicles that are not allowed on the road will not be covered by motorcycle breakdown policies.
- Is motorcycle breakdown cover expensive?
-
The cost of motorbike breakdown cover will depend on the level of cover you choose, as some policies may be more expensive if they offer more features and benefits, such as cover for vehicle hire or overnight accommodation. The cost of your policy will also depend on factors such as the number of motorbikes you want covered, the age of your bike (as older models are often more expensive to cover), and how powerful the motorcycle’s engine is.
