Roadside Assistance (Breakdown Cover)
Roadside assistance is a service that helps when your car breaks down, with a repair at the roadside or towing to a garage.
What is Roadside Assistance (Breakdown Cover)?
It may come with a new car, an insurance policy, a credit card or a motoring club membership. Typical help includes jump starts, wheel changes, fuel delivery and unlocking. Cover abroad, onward travel and a hire car are often extra options. In Turkey roadside assistance is often included in kasko policies.
How it works
After you call, a patrol or tow truck is sent to your location to repair or recover the car.
Why it matters for your car
Check what is covered, including home starts and cover abroad. Save the assistance number and your policy details in your phone.
