Which types of vehicles can I get breakdown cover for?
We offer breakdown cover for all types of vehicles, including classic cars, private and commercial vans, recovery trucks, and more.
A classic car is more prone to breaking down, making it all the more important to get breakdown cover. Not having the right cover could leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere with a huge bill to boot.
And with all the time and money invested in keeping your pride and joy running, you probably don’t want to face another hefty expense – especially when it could be avoided so easily.
There are also many dangers involved with breaking down on a motorway or dual carriageway, not only to yourself but also your classic car. Having active breakdown cover helps you get rescued faster, reducing the likelihood of your car getting damaged.
Our breakdown cover puts you in contact with a local approved garage, meaning we’re able to respond quickly when needed.
There’s no worse time to break down than while you’re delivering goods to customers. Ensure you can get back on track as quickly as possible by taking out breakdown cover for commercial vans. We can provide a similar vehicle for hire so you can keep working.
Breaking down is always stressful, and it can be doubly so if you’re taking a trip in your private van with family or helping a friend move. When you call us, we aim to have you back on the road as soon as possible.
Recovery trucks are expensive and heavy vehicles, so if your recovery truck breaks down, it can be difficult to get the support you need when you need it. At Adrian Flux, we offer breakdown cover for recovery trucks, which can help you when the worst happens.
This helps ensure that should something go wrong and you have people depending on you, you can get back on the road as quickly as possible.

If you breakdown at or near your place of residence, our approved breakdown agents will attend your vehicle to help.

In general, no – you’ll have to pay extra. At Adrian Flux, we offer among the best rates for breakdown cover in the UK, and premiums are more competitive when you take out motor insurance with breakdown cover.
Read our blog on what to do if your car breaks down. The first step is to always put your hazards on and try to move over to the side of the road. It’s safer to exit the vehicle and stand behind a barrier if possible.
Breaking down without insurance tends to be very expensive; motorway towing charges can be as high as £150, the average garage call out charge is £90 and the average call out for a flat battery is £66. As a result, breakdown cover usually pays for itself the first time you need it.
On top of this, breaking down without cover means that getting help usually takes longer. That’s more time spent stranded in the middle of nowhere or stuck on the motorway hard shoulder. As we have such a wide network of approved technicians, we can respond to your claim much quicker than if you don’t have cover for breakdowns.
In cases where you’ve already taken out insurance for your vehicle but you need breakdown cover, we offer insurance for breakdowns as a standalone product for £99.
Just give us a call on 0330 123 0758 or 0800 032 5515 and one of our approved garage technicians in the local area will travel to your location and attempt to repair your vehicle. If the car cannot be repaired quickly, Flux Rescue will cover any reasonable costs involved with taking the car to the nearest garage.
