The RAC offers breakdown cover in the UK for scooters and mopeds over 49cc. And once you’re covered, you can relax knowing help is at hand 24/7 if you break down. All our cover includes Roadside Assistance. Our ‘Extra’ and ‘Complete’ packages also include National Recovery. And with ‘Complete’ cover, At Home is included too. You can also choose add-ons, such as Onward Travel, for even more reassurance.
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 eligible vehicle – this could be a moped, a scooter, a motorcycle, a car or any other eligible vehicle that’s covered by our policy.
Looking for motorbike breakdown cover? We also cover motorcycles.

The RAC offers a taxi from the garage with every breakdown cover level. And when you add Onward Travel, you can get a hire car while your car’s being fixed. So you can carry on, even if your car can't.
If you're taking your moped or scooter to mainland Europe or the Republic of Ireland, you’ll need European breakdown cover. Just keep in mind that it’s only available for mopeds and scooters over 125cc.
