Car breakdown cover is not a complex type of insurance but that does not mean that you should go into buying it blind. Like any purchase you should do your research and ensure that you have a bit of an idea of what you are buying and when and Rescue My Car is a huge supporter of helping customers buy their cover with their eyes wide open.

The reason for our transparent and honest service is because we are so confident that our products are as good, if not better, than many of the leading breakdown cover brands that we are actually proud of what we can offer.

We are also aware, however, that it can be just as easy to confuse with products like car breakdown cover and so below we have created a simple guide to the main points to be aware of next time you look to renew or replace your existing policy.

In short there are several different types of breakdown cover and the options include:

-       Recovery only (where you and your car is recovered to the closest local garage)

-       Nationwide UK roadside assistance cover only (no home cover included, i.e. you have to be one mile away from your home address).

-       Home cover included.

-       -24 hour roadside rescue.

-       Onward travel to any UK destination.

-       Replacement vehicle for up to 24 hours, overnight accommodation or onward travel.

-       European breakdown cover (some with repatriation of passengers to the UK).

-       Tow to a local garage where no repair is possible on the same day.

It is also important to realise that you can cover a person as well as just a car so that if they breakdown in any other car they are covered by the same policy.
