Have you considered the possible costs of recovery if you do not have a motorbike breakdown cover agreement? Think about the call out charge and tow to local garage and then the possibility of not having any control over which garage you are taken t where you are open to the factor of trust with your final car repair bill.
We all know that certain makes and models of cars are more reliable than others. But motorbike breakdown cover suppliers do not take what model of car you drive into account when calculating your premium. So even if you cat has broken down his year, you should still get the same price as everyone else. However you should be aware that some policies do not give you unlimited call outs during the life of the policy.
Another common reason for call outs for your friendly breakdown cover patrolman is a flat tyre. Have you checked your car recently to see if you have a spare tyre, it is blown up and is legal? Do not forget to check for the jack also and will you have access to it should you get a puncture. Some modern cars do not have a space for a spare tyre so do you have a compressed tyre repair system in your boot?
Is you car serviced on time, when was the last time you did some basic checks on your car? It was some time ago, now may be a good time to reduce the risk of a breakdown. You may have motorbike breakdown cover, but even with this protection, you are still going to be delayed. Not to mention that if it cannot be fixed at the roadside, you car may have to be taken to the nearest garage or to home, depending the cover you have. More inconvenience.
There are many areas in the UK now like motorway road works where if you breakdown in those areas, you will be removed normally free of charge to an area where you can get your car repaired. This can be handy if you have a motorbike breakdown cover policy, just make sure you tell them where you have been towed to.
