Breakdown Service

Breakdown cover is all about peace of mind – it’s one of those services that you hope you never need but, if you do, you want it to be there right away. Mobile phones have meant that it’s much easier to summon assistance than it used to be, but if you don’t have good cover, breaking down can still prove to be an expensive business.

Direct Line’s Breakdown Cover boasts an average response time of around 40 minutes (priority is given to women traveling alone, or with children), and 8 out of every 10 vehicles can be fixed at the roadside. We offer five levels of cover, starting from as little as £23, so you only need to pay for the level of breakdown service you require. All five levels include roadside assistance, towing your car to the nearest suitable garage if it can’t be fixed at the roadside and no callout charges. We’ll also let your friends, family or colleagues know what’s happening via our free message relay service.

Direct Line offers you a good deal better by covering your car no matter who is driving it – and if you take out our personal cover option, cover is extended to apply to any private, eligible vehicle (subject to certain criteria) in which you are traveling. We also offer extra discounts to households that require breakdown cover for two or more cars. And, if you don’t need our breakdown service one year, we’ll give you a no callout discount that could save you 10% off next year’s cover.

It’s everything you could want from a breakdown service, and you can save a further 10% when you buy it online, so why not get a quote right now?
