When breakdown cover makes sense
- You ride a lot, all year round, and a long way from home.
- You tour abroad: European cover is hard to arrange after the fact.
- Your bike is old or unreliable and likely to need recovering more than once a year.
- You want home-start cover, or onward travel and hotels included.
When pay as you go makes sense
- You ride mainly in the summer, or mainly locally.
- Your bike is newer and reliable, and may come with manufacturer cover anyway.
- You’ve broken down and don’t have cover. Most cover can’t be bought and used for an existing breakdown.
- You need something cover doesn’t include: a track bike, a non-runner, a planned move, or a bike you’ve just bought.
Check what you already have
Before buying cover, check your bike insurance, your bank account perks and the manufacturer’s warranty. Some already include roadside assistance or recovery after an accident.

Rider questions
Can I buy breakdown cover after I’ve broken down?
Some providers allow it with an extra fee and a waiting period; many don’t. Pay-as-you-go recovery is for exactly that situation.
