Breakdown Cover

From standard roadside assistance to a comprehensive rescue and recovery service in 44 countries across the European Union and beyond, Saga Breakdown Assistance is designed to provide the reassurance you need 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Please use the links below...

Why choose Saga?

Nowadays, there are plenty of companies offering low cost breakdown assistance, and it may even be included with another product or service you currently have. However, will you receive the protection you really need? Common cover shortfalls include:

  • Not attending a breakdown at home, where more than 40% occur*
  • Not attending when the policyholder isn’t in the car
  • Not taking your car to your chosen garage – only to one near the breakdown, which could be miles from your home or destination
  • Not providing a hire car or overnight accommodation while your car is being repaired, so you could still end up stranded.
