Frequently Asked Questions
Will my children be looked after during a breakdown?
All major providers prioritise vulnerable passengers including children. Patrols are trained to help, and recovery vehicles can transport your whole family to safety.
What if we break down on holiday?
With national recovery, you'll be transported home or to a destination of your choice. Onward travel cover can provide a hire car or hotel if repairs take longer.
Is family cover more expensive?
Not specifically - most breakdown policies cover all passengers in the vehicle. You just need to ensure you have the right features (home start, recovery, onward travel) for peace of mind.
