- 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.
