Vehicle breakdown
Most insurance companies now offer vehicle breakdown cover as an additional option.
It is convenient to have the same renewal date as your car insurance.
Significantly, the Insurers will receive a commission from the recovery company, therefore it can be cost effective to buy your vehicle breakdown separately.
Cover is simple to purchase, and spending half an hour finding the best price can save you a sizeable amount. (Green Flag is owned by Direct Line).

Comments
This is an area where it is easy to save money by shopping around and buying separately if necessary. It's a very simple transaction on line or by phone.
Basic cover normally means a distance of one mile radius from your home address and home call includes call out to your home address. |
