Breakdown cover for ‘old’ cars
Have you found it increasingly difficult over the years to get cover? It seems, well I found anyway, that cover is more for cars 10yrs or less. Personal (i.e) you’re covered, not the car) gets round this to an extent but then a clause may yet still have the age of the car you’re in as a factor.

I'm with a company called start rescue, it is a personal cover, but the main questions i had for them when I joined a few years ago was about the age of my car. I too did have a few problems when asking about cover for my Rover. There are a few out there that won't cover a car this old.

Breakdown Cover
I’ve used Auto Aid for several years. It insures the driver not the car but my “youngest car” is 17 years old and the oldest was, until very recently, 22.
You have to pay any repair costs upfront and then reclaim them but they consistently appear in the best providers. |

Mainstream ones mostly. I also was with autoaid and will return to them as Emergency Assist flatly refused to come out to a breakdown so they’re rubbish!

Green flag personal cover is for cars 16yrs or less. No good for me!

Never asked for breakdown cover.-----
Mainly ( I guess ) because I always service my own car and the wife's car and we've never broken down. -- |
