If there’s one thing you can count on, it’s that cars always seem to breakdown when you least expect it. That’s why it’s important you’ve got breakdown cover you can rely on.
Explore our different levels of breakdown insurance for drivers over 50 and discover what each one includes, so you can find a Saga Breakdown Assistance cover that’s right for you. With cover from as little as £29.99 a year, if the unexpected happens you can be back behind the wheel in no time at all.
Breakdown insurance can be added to your Saga car insurance to cover the cost of roadside assistance if your car breaks down when you’re out and about. If your car can’t be fixed on the spot, we can help you get it to the nearest garage.
If you already hold a Saga Car Insurance policy, you can add breakdown cover in MySaga at any time.
No one wants to be stuck on the side of the road, so getting the right vehicle breakdown cover means that if your car breaks down, you’ll be able to get moving again, be taken to a garage within 10 miles, or get home as quickly and safely as possible, depending on what cover you have.
With all our cover levels:
We have five types of breakdown cover levels for you to choose from:
*When breakdown occurs at least 1/4 mile from your home address or where the car is normally kept.
