Joint car & motorcycle breakdown
Motorists can secure car and motorbike breakdown under one policy. The simplest way of doing this is through personal breakdown cover. Personal breakdown cover means one named person is covered for breakdown, regardless of the vehicle they are driving† - so, that could be a car and a motorbike.
It also means you’re covered as a passenger in a car - and when riding pillion on a motorbike.
You can choose from a range of levels of motorbike breakdown cover.
Motorbike roadside assistance comes as standard. If you breakdown at the side of the road, more than ¼ mile from home, we’ll come out to fix your bike. If we can’t, we’ll tow you to a garage within a distance of ten miles.
National recovery takes that level of motorcycle recovery a step further. If we can’t fix your motorbike at the roadside, we’ll tow you and your bike to an address anywhere within the UK.
At home cover means we’ll come to help you if you break down at home - if you can’t start your bike in the morning, for example.
Onward travel is a level of motorbike breakdown cover that enables you to continue your journey if your bike can’t be fixed immediately by us. Depending on your circumstances, you might be able to get a courtesy vehicle or hotel accommodation.
Personal breakdown cover is a type of cover for a single, named person. This means that you’ll be covered when riding your own bike, or travelling as a passenger on someone else’s. If you ride more than one bike, this might be the best option for you.
Vehicle breakdown cover applies to a specific vehicle. It means you’ll only be covered when riding that particular bike. But if you only have one motorbike in your household, and more than one person rides it, this might be the best option for you.
