Breakdown cover

Breakdown cover - introduction

Our motor breakdown cover directory features names you'd expect to see - like the AA, the RAC and Green Flag - plus others that may be less familiar. In most cases, you can tailor breakdown cover to meet your needs and budget, with options including roadside assistance, recovery, home start and European breakdown cover. Membership is available on a single, joint or family basis - and can apply not just when you're driving your own car, but also if you're a passenger in someone else's when it breaks down. Most offer a significant discount for buying online.

Featured breakdown cover

The AA
AA membership is personal to you, not your car - so you're covered even if you're a passenger in a different car. The AA has the UK's biggest fleet of patrols, all in distinctive AA-branded vans and with specially trained mechanics. You can buy AA breakdown cover immediately online, with a web only discount.
The RAC
UK breakdown cover from the RAC provides roadside assistance as standard (which aims to repair your car there and then) plus other options depending upon the level of cover you choose. The RAC has over 1,500 patrol vehicles - and they can find you by tracing your mobile phone's location.
