Roadside Assistance and Break Down Cover
Is
your caravan covered by your car breakdown cover?
It's not compulsary to have break down cover if you are towing a caravan, horsebox or trailer but it is highly recommended if you plan to travel around the UK whilst towing.
Most of the UKs established Roadside Assistance (Car Break Down) companies now include cover or the option to include recovery of a towed caravan or trailer providing it is attached to the tow car or tow vehicle when it breaks down.
Entry level breakdown cover which includes caravan cover starts from as little as £20 per year. The companies included in table below all offer car breakdown cover with caravan recovery either included as standard or the ability to add caravan recovery as an extra. We have highlighted cover where caravan breakdown recovery is included as a standard feature of cover.
