Breakdown Cover

[V8Triumph]

Looking for a breakdown policy which will:

- cover two people (myself and partner)
- cover any car of any age (all my cars are 35 years + old) and this seems to affect some policies.
- come out in the event of a brakedown and recover back to home (NOT a garage)

I've got insurance policies with classicline on the Jensen and Stag (both over 35 years old), and both policies include breakdown cover which does all the above.

I've used it too - very good service - recovery from anywhere, and relay to home.

We get ours through our bank account, we do pay £25 a month but that includes about 6 benefits, full breakdown cover being one of them

I have http://www.autonational.co.uk/autonational/breakdo... for the Tvr which is 17yrs old.
Just started the policy so I don't know how they perform yet but happy with £66 for 15 months.

Do they cover any car? I don't think the Lancaster one does (my insurance co.) Might have a swap to classicline in Dec if they offer breakdown on any car.

Try the RAC! Very well supported on this site it appears!

Do they cover you for any car or only your TVR? I have about 10 or so different classic cars throughout the year and they are usually the ones that cause problems, not our two 'permanent' cars (MGB GT V8 and Triumph GT6)

I've tried RAC but am confused about whether or not they will recover you home and not to a garage? I fix my own cars so don't want additional costs of recovery from garage to home or additional labour costs associated with a garage doing the work.

Only the car is covered but anyone driving it.
So not really for your needs.

You need joint Roadside & Recovery cover (covers you and wife and will take you to your destination i.e. home)

Just Roadside means they'll take you to a garage within 10miles so you don't want that.

They cover the car insured on the policy... I have both classics insured with them, therefore they both have the same excellent breakdown cover.
