Breaking down with your car is not only a major inconvenience, it can also be very expensive if you don’t have the right European breakdown cover.
European Breakdown cover, also known as Breakdown Insurance and European Breakdown Recovery, will cover you for assistance in the event of a vehicle breakdown. Getting the best breakdown cover is important. Here are some points which need to be
considered:
• European Breakdown Cover policies can vary. The majority of basic policies will offer the service of trying to temporarily repair your vehicle at the roadside so that you can get to your end destination
• Some European Breakdown Cover policies will provide a European recovery service where you will be taken to your destination or to a garage to have your car repaired
• Most breakdown cover policies allow you to opt for personal membership, which covers you as a person instead of your vehicle. For example if you are in someone else’s vehicle and it has broken down, your European breakdown cover policy will assist you in this situation
• Some breakdown cover providers also offer cover if you are planning on driving abroad. If your vehicle breaks down abroad, the European breakdown cover will allow you to call for assistance and they will then assist in recovering your vehicle.
