The
recent bitter cold winter weather has underlined how important it is to have
breakdown cover. It can be infuriating
to come out to a car with a flat battery when you have an important meeting to
attend, or a train to catch. And getting
stranded at the side of a motorway or on a rural road on an icy night is an
experience that any motorist wants to avoid.
Breakdown cover can offer both practical and financial assistance to get
you out of trouble if your car comes to a halt.
While
there are a number of motoring organisations that offer breakdown cover,
building it in to an existing car insurance policy rather than having separate
cover makes a lot of sense. Breakdown
Cover from Allianz Your Cover (www.yourcoverinsurance.co.uk)
offers a range of options, giving you the flexibility to choose the level of
cover and support that you think you will need and include it in your car
insurance policy.
There
are three levels of cover to choose from, starting with Roadside
Breakdown. It does what it says on the
tin - if you break down more than a mile away from home, this will provide
access to a nationwide glass repairer, roadside assistance for up to half an
hour, and Allianz will arrange for your car and passengers to be taken to the
nearest suitable garage if it can’t be repaired within that time.
Most
people find that the next level of breakdown cover, including Recovery and Home
Assist, is the most practical option. If
you can’t start your car in the morning, or you break down within a mile of
your home, Allianz Your Cover will
arrange to get you up and running again.
For additional peace of mind the cover also includes getting you and
your passengers back home, or to your destination, if your car remains immobile
for more than four hours and it has not been possible to repair it within that
time. Where necessary, Allianz Your Cover will pay for onward rail journeys, a
temporary replacement vehicle, and overnight bed and breakfast.
If you
holiday in Europe or often drive on the
continent then you should consider adding European Breakdown Cover to Recovery
and Home Assist. Dealing with a car
breakdown abroad can be expensive, difficult and stressful, particularly if you
don’t speak the language well. Allianz Your Cover Breakdown Cover provides you with all the
support that you need in the event of such a crisis. They will either arrange for you and your
passengers to get back home or to your onward destination, if your car cannot
be repaired within eight hours. Or they
will cover the cost of a replacement vehicle (up to a limit of £750) and
overnight accommodation in a bed and breakfast whilst you wait for your car to
be repaired. And if the repair is likely
to take longer than five days, they will arrange for your car to be returned to
an authorized dealer in the UK . So with all the options covered, you can
continue to enjoy your holiday.
