Yes! All of our breakdown insurance policies, including our classic car breakdown cover, include roadside assistance.
Whether you break down 10 minutes from home, on a busy motorway or elsewhere in Europe, our dedicated rescue operators can come and help get you back up and running. We aim to attend all calls within the hour, and, because we have over 3000 vehicles and technicians, we manage to make it within 35 minutes 95% of the time.
These policies also include classic car recovery, meaning if, for whatever reason, we’re unable to repair your vehicle, we’ll tow it to a local garage of your choosing for them to take a further look.
In the meantime, we’ll arrange alternative travel, or emergency overnight accommodation, for you and up to six passengers until the problem is resolved and you can get back on the road.
If you’re planning an extended trip to Europe in your classic car breakdown cover is non-negotiable.
Punctured tyres, engine failures and flat batteries can happen at any time, and even if you think your car is still in good shape, a breakdown can still catch you out – so it’s best to be prepared for everything.
For a small additional fee, you can cover your classic car for up to 120 days per trip, and should anything go wrong during this time, you can be confident knowing that you’re always protected.
If you require more information about our European breakdown cover, our experts are here to help. Give us a call or send us an email and we’ll be in touch with you shortly.
