Breakdown Cover

Breakdown cover from LV= is available as an optional extra when you take out a new car insurance policy. However, you can also get breakdown cover as a stand-alone product. So if you already have car insurance and now want breakdown cover with us, you can still purchase this cover by going to www.britanniarescue.com or by calling Britannia Rescue.

You have a choice of 3 levels of breakdown cover which vary from UK Recovery to UK & European Assist. You can also choose a level of cover that includes Home Assist.

For an additional premium you can include LV= Road Rescue Personal Cover. This extends the breakdown cover you have in the UK to any car you or your spouse / partner are driving or are a passenger in at the time of a breakdown in the UK. LV= offers competitive rates - just choose the level of cover that suits your needs.

It does not cover you on European journeys.
