Breakdown cover

Choose from three breakdown plans, powered by the AA.

  • Roadside assistance
  • UK-wide recovery
  • European cover

Motor Legal Protection

Get the upper-hand in any road-related dispute. Cover any legal costs required to settle disputes or appeal motoring convictions.

Courtesy Car upgrade (for theft and total loss)

Upgrade your courtesy cover if you’d like a replacement car if yours is stolen or cannot be repaired. Standard courtesy cover (included with all but Marshmallow Lightest) only gives you a replacement if your own car can be fixed.

No Claims Discount Protection

Even good drivers make mistakes. Make up to 2 claims a year without affecting your claim-free record, and protect your well-earned discount.

Excess Protection

Your excess is the amount you agree to pay if you make a claim (you agree to this amount when you sign up). But with Excess Protection, you’ll get it all back! Regardless of what happened or who was at fault.

Europe Roaming Pass upgrade

Your standard pass gives you Third-party Only cover in Europe for up to 90 days. You can now upgrade that cover to Fully Comprehensive. That means cover for injury and damages to you, as well as any other person involved.

Windscreen Protection

Protect your windscreen if it gets chipped, cracked or broken. Pay a small amount upfront and we’ll cover the cost of any glass repairs or replacements.

What is Fully Comprehensive?

Fully Comprehensive policies protect you, your car, and anyone else involved in an accident you cause (including their car or any other property). Third-party Only policies do not cover you or your car - just the other person’s. And even though Fully Comprehensive policies give you more cover, they’re often cheaper.
