As a breakdown recovery individual, providing that service to your customers carries a lot of responsibility. You don’t want to let them down by not being able to assist them on getting back on the road due to an expired or bad insurance policy.

Breakdown Recovery insurance is specifically designed to cover those who recover or repair vehicles following a breakdown, incident or accident.

The risks are always greater, especially when you’re driving a vehicle as large as a recovery truck. You also have to make sure that the vehicles you’re recovering are covered under your policy, not just your own.

We want to make sure you’re helping others with the policy that’s tailor-made for you. Here at Kompare, we can help you do just that.

What Are The Different Policy Types That I Can Take Out?

When taking out a breakdown / recovery insurance policy, you’ll be asked which type of cover you’d like to purchase. There are two levels of cover. Here are your options:

Road Risk

This is perfect for those based at home rather than at a set premises. This helps cover the vehicles that are in the trader’s possession when on the road. This will help with situations such as driving a vehicle from your garage to a driveway, picking up or returning a vehicle to a customer, or testing a vehicle after repair work has finished.

Road Risk & Premises Cover

You will need a combined policy if you own and operate a business from a location, rather than out of your home. This is also essential if you employ workers, keep any stock, and store customers vehicles overnight. If you operate as a mobile mechanic, you will need to choose this option as the vehicles and contents inside your van will come under premises cover.
