Breakdown Repair Cover
Save money on your vehicle repairs
We'll always do our best to get you back on the road after a beakdown, but sometimes there's no escaping the expense of replacement parts and repairs. Our Breakdown Repair Cover can help cover these costs following a breakdown.
From just £69.50 a year (£6.49 a month), save on repairs – and pay only £25 excess on repair bills up to £500.
With Breakdown Repair Cover:
- You'll get up to five paid claims per year.
- We'll pay repair bills of up to £500 per claim less £25 excess (including VAT).
- If garage repair is necessary, we'll arrange to pay the bill and help ensure the repair is as hassle-free as possible.
Last year members with Breakdown Repair Cover saved almost £5 million on repair costs.

Our claims service
If our patrol can't complete repairs at the roadside, we'll arrange for a garage to carry out the repair work. Our claims team can talk to the garage on your behalf, so you don't have to get involved with the technical details. And we'll even arrange to pay the breakdown repair bill directly with the garage.
Important
- For a claim to be considered you must call the AA for breakdown assistance.
- Once you've nominated a vehicle for Breakdown Repair Cover, you'll need to keep it serviced in line with the manufacturer's recommendations. Servicing must be done by a suitable garage business.
- A claim on your Breakdown Repair Cover cannot be for any faults that occur during the first 14 days of cover. If you change your vehicle you will also not be able to claim for 14 days after making the change.
