At Home
If your vehicle won't start or breaks down within 1/4 mile of your home, you'll get breakdown recovery to a nearby garage. This extends our Roadside Assistance coverage straight to your door.
Cover for you, as a driver or passenger in any vehicle (including cars, vans and bikes).
Joint cover for you and someone you live with, as drivers or passengers in any vehicle.

Personal cover is our name for multi-car cover. It applies to any vehicle you travel in as a driver or a passenger. That way, you can be covered in multiple vehicles.
It could be a good option if you want breakdown cover for 2 or more cars. It also applies to other vehicles like vans or motorbikes.
You can tell us the names of anyone you’d like to include in your cover. But you won’t need to give us vehicle details as you’ll be covered in any vehicle.

When it comes to breakdown cover, it would most likely work out cheaper to have a personal cover policy if you drive more than one vehicle – compared to paying for breakdown cover for each vehicle separately. If you only drive one vehicle, however, you'll get a cheaper quote by going for singular vehicle cover.
Wondering whether you should choose a breakdown cover policy for multiple vehicles (like our personal-based cover policies) or just standard vehicle cover for one car? See the table below for a breakdown of the benefits of each one.

You can get multi-car breakdown cover with us by choosing one of our personal-based policies, like Cover for you. This way, you’ll be covered as a driver or passenger in any vehicle. You can also get cover for multiple people you live with for any vehicle under our Joint and Family cover options.
Our policies cover cars, vans, motorbikes, caravans, motorhomes, campervans and also trailers – providing that they don’t exceed our size and weight requirements. Your vehicle or trailer must be no more than 3.5 tonnes (3,500kg) and 8ft 3in (2.55m) wide.
You can call us out for a problem with your trailer or caravan, even if your car or main vehicle is fine.
