Find your insurance

Motorhome breakdown cover should be simple. That’s why we make payments easy with multiple payment options, such as instalments by direct debit, debit card, credit card, BACS, or bank transfer. You can also spread the cost to make payment more manageable; we work with Close Brothers Premium Finance to enable you to pay in regular instalments*.

Flexible payment dates, online account management, and credit agreement renewal can also make it easier to establish appropriate protection.

*We work with a third party company called Close Brothers Premium Finance Limited (‘CBL’), which manages instalment payments. We act as a credit broker and we are not a lender. If you have opted to pay by monthly direct debit, we will pass your details to CBL and they will make a credit decision about you, which may include a credit check being carried out. Please let us know immediately if you do not consent to us sharing your details with CBL. If CBL agrees to provide you with credit you will receive a welcome pack including a credit agreement from CBL, which you will need to sign and return to CBL. Please note that CBL has its own set of terms, conditions and charges and you should familiarise yourself with these carefully. We may receive a commission for introducing you to CBL. Paying by monthly direct debit via CBL will cost more than paying by one off payment.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Please note that these Frequently Asked Questions are not a substitute for the policy wording. For full terms and conditions please see the policy documentation.

What happens if I break down with no breakdown cover for my motorhome?

If your motorhome breaks down without cover, you’ll need to find a provider to assist you. They’ll charge a fee for the service and tow your motorhome to the nearest garage for repairs, which can be time-consuming, costly and stressful.

Does my car breakdown cover also cover my motorhome?

No, car and motorhome breakdown covers are separate. You’ll need individual cover for each vehicle. Some providers also offer personal cover, which protects you as a driver, regardless of your vehicle.

Why do I need motorhome breakdown cover?

Although it’s not a legal requirement, motorhome breakdown cover offers you peace of mind on the road. It helps with emergency towing, repairs, and getting back on your way quickly, helping to make your trips smoother and less stressful.
