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).
