Best choice could be breakdown cover

Posted :17-07-2006

British drivers who opt for including breakdown cover on their car insurance policies, rather than joining a motoring association, could save up to £250 million, according to Liverpool Victoria motor insurers.

Break-down cover offered by insurance companies could save an individual motorist up to £39, the report from Liverpool Victoria stated.

This summer will see Britons in their thousands loading up their cars and hitting the roads, which makes having motor insurance coverage even more vital than normal.

Nigel Snell, head of external affairs at Liverpool Victoria, said:"We recognise that Britain's drivers who join motoring associations directly do receive a valuable service.

"However, millions of motorists could save significantly by extending their existing motor insurance policy to include breakdown cover, rather than joining a motoring association directly."

Keeping a car running costs an average of £2,500 and upwards, according to the More Than report.

At the end of 2004 there were 32,259 unlicensed vehicles in the UK, according to the national statistics.
