What services does Breakdown Assist offer?
Breakdown Assist offers various levels of breakdown cover, as well as different types of cover.

- Personal breakdown cover: This type of cover means that you, as the driver, are covered by the policy, rather than a vehicle, which means you can call out the engineers if you break down regardless of what vehicle you are driving.
