Compare Breakdown Cover
When you have decided that breakdown cover is something you need
for your piece of mind, next comes the point of choosing which
breakdown cover is right for you. That is because different
suppliers offer different terms prices and options. To give you
some examples, do you want the car to be covered or you? If you
have one car and several members of the family, who borrow the
car regularly to do different things, say your son or daughter
and wife, husband etc., then you may decide to have a policy
that covers the car, no matter who is driving. But if you are
say a multi car home and swap cars regularly then you may want
yourself to be covered for any car. Next comes the question of
where you want to be covered if you breakdown? Some basic
polices only cover you if you are a distance from home. So if
you get up one morning and you car does not start, then you are
on your own to get it fixed. Do you travel far from home
regularly, in better words if your car breaks down and it can't
be fixed by the road, do you want the car towed to the nearest
garage or brought back home no matter what distance? Again check
you policy options to see what is covered. Some companies are
mainly set up as a network of garages with some of their own
repair vehicles, where as some of the larger companies, do most
of the callouts. If you only do short trips and never out of the
local area, this option may be fine for you. But if you
regularly travel to unknown areas then maybe you may feel
uncomfortable having your car repaired by an unknown garage. Of
course these garages are vetted, and reputable. If there is more
than one of you could also consider joint membership, which in
most cases is cheaper than 2 single memberships. Finally
thinking ahead, are you intending taking your car abroad this
year? Often if you buy a full package that includes European
Breakdown cover, you can save than buying both policies
separate. As you can see there are many different breakdown
cover options available and as with any insurance policy, check
exactly what you re covered for to make sure you get the right
breakdown cover for you.
