Re: Breakdown cover!
Go for insurance where it is included. I learnt the hard way about not having it when I broke down cost me over £200 to join and get someone out straight away.
If it aint broke, get your bloody hands off it!
Re: Breakdown cover!
It's never included free mate! It's a sales tool! I always have breakdown cover but just wondering who/what others use

Re: Breakdown cover!
I just insured with carole nash, I was getting very basic quotes for £100ish. I ended up with c/n for £180, but that include pretty much everything. and importantly for me comprehensive European breakdown cover....
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
Re: Breakdown cover!
MCE include basic breakdown cover, although I imagine it will be exactly that 'basic', but at £95 fully comp for the RSV it's not a bad freebie.
I've now gone all European and bought a KTM Superduke GT and Aprilia RSV1000R ,
Storm is now gone . .

Re: Breakdown cover!
I can't remember if it's MCE or Bennetts that include breakdown with all their policies. I have Bennetts and mine is £92 with breakdown included. The usual euro, home start, home tow or tow to a garage and 1 night stay if required. It's limited use but fingers crossed I won't need it.

Re: Breakdown cover!
I use TSB platnume for £17 a month it covers breakdown cover for all my vehicles the van, car and bike also holiday insurance and as the wife is diabetic her holiday insurance is £70 plus mobile phones and card all in one. I think it works out cheaper and a time saver

Re: Breakdown cover!
I'm with MCE and have their breakdown cover, complete and utter waste of time, after 40 mins waiting on someone even answering the bloody call I gave up and got recovered by a local guy

Re: Breakdown cover!
I've used Britannia Rescue a couple of times over the last year for the storm. Broken chain and a flat. Excellent both times.

Re: Breakdown cover!
I'm with MCE.I cant comment on their service as I've never had to use it (yet).But £92:00 fuly comp,breakdown and leathers etc. seems good value for money to me,only down side is the £800:00 excess.
SO WHEN DOES THIS OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER KICK IN

Re: Breakdown cover!
I've gone with the AA
I'm the one thats covered so it doesn't matter what car or bike I'm on. Even if I'm a passenger. They even hav a handy little App to go on your phone so they can find you if you don't know where you are.
I think I'm paying about £120-130 for the privilege.

Re: Breakdown cover!
Free with Carol nash and have it with rac aswell
Ill never be a sell out storm forever
Re: Breakdown cover!
I'm with RAC, purely because of having 2 bikes and have access to ride a third, and two cars it worked out cheaper than having multiple covers through insurance.
