Personal Breakdown Cover from Start Rescue

If you own more than one vehicle or are regularly a passenger or driver of other vehicles, then you may benefit from a personal breakdown cover policy.

What is Personal Breakdown Cover?

Personal breakdown cover is breakdown cover for persons as opposed to relating to a specific vehicle.

The breakdown cover personal policy is an insurance policy that provides UK roadside assistance and recovery cover for the policyholder(s) in any vehicle* they are travelling in.

You must understand whether personal breakdown cover is the correct policy for you and ensure you are fully aware of the policy terms and conditions.

Benefits of Personal Breakdown Cover
