One in six motorists a year will suffer a car breakdown, with the vast majority of them occurring between December and March. They are official figures that tell the real truth about the very real dangers of driving without car breakdown cover this winter.

Rescue My Car is on a mission to educate more of the UK’s motorists to the real cost of car breakdown and with millions of people clocking up hundreds of miles in their cars visiting friends and family this Christmas, the message has never been more important.

Car reliability is something we all take for granted now but that should not be the case according to the latest breakdown statistics.

Comprehensive cover is available from as little as £30.25 a year with RescueMyCar.com and that is a price that you will struggle to beat anywhere. For that you get a complete car breakdown service, including roadside rescue from anywhere in the UK and all we ask is that you pay the first £40 (your excess) – a standard figure across the industry.

Neil Richards Smith, MD of Rescue My Car said of the new statistics: ‘We say time and time again that car breakdown cover is by far the most cost effective way of protecting yourself and our company has helped bring the cost of such cover right down. There should be no excuse for not taking it out should there?’
