Breakdown Assistance Benefits

Driveway & roadside assistance

Breakdown Assistance, also called roadside cover or breakdown cover, is a type of insurance that can help you get back on the road if your vehicle breaks down. With Allianz Motor Insurance, Breakdown Assistance is offered as an optional extra on our policies for an additional premium and compliments our already established Claims Notification and Emergency Service*. It is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

If you have Allianz Breakdown Assistance:

We will send a competent repairer/towing agent to assist you at the breakdown site.
We will cover the cost of towing your car to the nearest repairer or your own garage, whichever is closest. 
Where your car runs out of fuel or your electric vehicle runs out of battery, we will tow your car to the nearest petrol station, or your electric vehicle to the nearest electric vehicle charge point, or your home charge point, whichever is closest.
We will send up to 2 messages to family members or business contacts on your behalf.

The maximum distance for towing your vehicle is 50km / 30 miles from the location of your breakdown.

PLEASE NOTE – In the extremely unlikely event that there are no repairers within a 50km/30 mile radius of your breakdown location you may be liable for additional mileage charges.

Emergencies covered:

Mechanical or electrical breakdown (e.g. flat battery).
Puncture that needs help to fix or wheel change.
Keys broken in locks or keys locked in your car.
Loss or theft of keys.
Your car being filled with incorrect fuel type/lubricant.
