Motorhome Breakdown Cover for the UK & Europe from £82

Guide to Motorhome Breakdown Cover

Here at Comfort Insurance we’ve heard no end of stories about motorhome owners who have planned fabulous trips across the UK and Europe only to get across the channel and for something to breakdown on the way out of Calais. A breakdown is always frustrating, whether it happens at the start or end of your trip, but it doesn’t need to be the end of your holiday all together.

In the sections below, we'll take you through some of the features you should look for from your motorhome & campervan breakdown cover.

Emergency Repairs for Your Motorhome

A good breakdown company will be able to look into repairs on the roadside. If you break down on the roadside under Comfort’s breakdown cover, we’ll get one of our approved agents out to attend the scene and – where possible – carry out emergency repairs.

If your problem is simple enough to fix, they should be able to do it there and then. All the electrical equipment in your motorhome means battery failures are common and it’s usually only a few minutes’ work to get things going again.

More complex problems might mean you spend an hour or so on the roadside so be prepared with food supplies and warm clothing, especially if you’re travelling somewhere cold.

Transporting your Broken-Down Motorhome

If you suffer a serious technical problem, then that’s where motorhome breakdown cover comes into its own. If you need to be towed to a nearby garage or even all the way back to the UK for repairs then good European breakdown cover makes everything easy.

With Comfort Insurance, there’s no need to worry about finding a foreign and trustworthy repair centre or garage – we’ll ensure that you and your motorhome or campervan are transported safely to a reputable repairer or even repatriate your vehicle back home to the UK.

Misfuelling Your Motorhome

Misfuelling is when the incorrect fuel is put into a vehicle, and usually involves petrol being accidentally pumped into a diesel engine. If this has happened to you, you’re not alone – over 150,000 UK motorists misfuel their car every year.

That’s why we’ve got you covered for misfuelling in our breakdown insurance.

If you load the wrong fuel into your car while you’re motorhoming in the UK or the EU, we will remove the contaminated fuel at the place where it happened or transport your vehicle to a suitable repairer who will remove the contaminated fuel.

 

Different Levels of Motorhome Breakdown Cover

Of course, different breakdown companies will offer different levels of motorhome & campervan breakdown cover and if you’re planning to go outside of the European Union or have specific requirements, you need to check your policy. You should also check whether your motorhome insurance offers a breakdown cover – the top insurance policies will provide additional options for breakdown cover. At Comfort Insurance, our supplementary breakdown cover includes full coverage in the UK and EU.

You absolutely shouldn’t travel without it and though hopefully you’ll never use it, campervan and motorhome breakdown cover is a lifesaver when things go wrong. Don’t let a breakdown be the end of your holiday – make sure you’re covered and prepared for the worst!

European Motorhome Breakdown Cover

If you’re travelling a little further out from the UK, and hitting mainland Europe, then it becomes even more important to ensure you have the right coverage. Breaking down in the UK is one thing – but having issues in a foreign country can create additional complications that you would probably rather avoid.

With European motorhome breakdown cover, you can rest easily knowing that whilst you might be inconvenienced by a breakdown – you won’t be out of pocket. So, as well as EU travel cover, we provide optional European breakdown cover for motorhomes as part of our award-winning policies.

Large Motorhome Breakdown Cover

Whatever the size of your motorhome, we can provide the breakdown cover you need as an optional extra to your insurance policy.

Having a larger vehicle can sometimes mean it’s more expensive to get things fixed, that’s why as a policy benefit our breakdown cover includes recovery limits up to £10,000.

Comfort Insurance breakdown cover will ensure you’re covered no matter how big your motorhome, so you can have complete peace of mind on your trip.

How Can I Buy Breakdown Cover for My Motorhome?

Our Breakdown cover is specially designed for motorhome and campervan owners and provides enhanced features, such as no limits on the length or weight of your vehicle.

Breakdown cover can be added to your annual Comfort motorhome or campervan insurance when you first purchase cover, or at any subsequent renewal of your vehicle insurance. Unfortunately, we can’t offer breakdown cover unless you buy annual vehicle cover for your motorhome or campervan at the same time. Although cover is optional, it’s such great value that we consider it an essential!
