Intermediate Breakdown Cover

If you find yourself in difficulty while driving, call your breakdown provider: when you take out the policy, they will give you a telephone number which connects you directly with their nationwide breakdown service. If you simply need advice, such as how to change a flat tire, the breakdown service can give you help over the phone. For more serious problems, or ones that you feel you cannot solve yourself, a recovery patrol will be sent out to meet you as soon as possible.

Intermediate breakdown cover will 'recover' your vehicle, while providing the same cover as you receive from a basic breakdown policy. Recovery of your vehicle will take your car, you and your passengers home, to any other destination of your choice, or to the nearest, approved garage, depending on which choice is considered the most appropriate.

Intermediate cover gives you peace of mind that you will be able to continue your journey if your vehicle breaks down. In the event that you wish for your car to be dropped off at a garage, but for you and your passengers to be taken home, this can also be arranged.

Intermediate cover will not provide roadside assistance if you break down at home. For this level of protection you may wish to consider comprehensive cover. For a small charge, some breakdown providers will allow you to add on 'home cover' to their intermediate breakdown package.
