Personal Breakdown Cover

With our Personal Breakdown Cover, if you break down in any vehicle, we’ll come and rescue you. You can even claim whether you’re the driver or a passenger. In this respect it differs from vehicle breakdown cover, which is tied to a particular vehicle.

As a driver you’ll know that there’s a likely chance that at some point time you will be the unfortunate one stranded at the side of the road with a broken down vehicle. It’s a stressful and worrying situation. Especially when a family member has broken down and you are not there to help or offer comfort.

At CoverMy we will provide you with the comfort in knowing that we will be there when you need us and get you or a loved one moving again. We allow up to four people to be covered, so you can make sure you and your family are protected. Everyone named on the insurance will be covered in any vehicle whether the driver or passenger. You don’t have to be in the same vehicle or travelling together. So, if you’re driving your partner’s vehicle or just getting a lift from a friend, you’re covered if anything goes wrong.

At CoverMy we want to make sure you never have to drive again without knowing we will help should the unexpected happen. You have someone that believes what is important to you is also important to us as well.
