Certain car breakdown cover companies will exclude the recovery of cars involved in accidents in their entirety. The policies that do cover accidents will arrange the towage of the customer’s car from the scene of the accident but only after authorisation has been given by the emergency services on-site or the police.It is important to read the terms and conditions of your breakdown assistance cover policy carefully to understand exactly what your specific agreement covers and doesn’t cover.You can learn more about this in the breakdown cover FAQs. These can be viewed on the website of most providers at the bottom or in the ‘about us’ section. In addition, when you compare breakdown cover providers, you will likely receive a list of all the items they do cover in the policy in the shape of a handy information table.
