What types of breakdown cover are there for scooters and mopeds?
Just like with breakdown cover for cars, there are two types of breakdown cover to choose from for your scooter or moped:
-
Vehicle breakdown cover. This means your moped or scooter is covered regardless of who is driving at the time you break down. You can buy breakdown cover for up to 3 mopeds or scooters.
-
Personal breakdown cover. This means you’re personally covered in any vehicle – This could be a moped, a scooter, a motorcycle, a car or any other vehicle that’s covered by our policy.
Looking for motorbike breakdown cover? We also cover motorcycles.

It’s worth noting that our breakdown cover for mopeds and scooters doesn’t cover the following:
-
Mopeds or scooters under 49cc. We’re unable to cover vehicles under this limit.
-
Breakdowns outside the UK. If you have a moped or scooter over 125cc, you can buy European breakdown cover.

Mobility scooters. We’re unable to offer breakdown for mobility scooters. You’ll need to go to a specialist provider for this.

Tyre Replace is unavailable. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to add Tyre Replace cover for a moped or scooter.
