Benefits of courier-specific breakdown cover

While standard business breakdown cover can be helpful, courier-specific breakdown cover offers additional features tailored to your business needs:

Faster Response Times
As a courier, you often operate on tight schedules. We understand this and further prioritise fast response times to minimise your downtime as much as possible.
Recovery for Heavier Loads
Courier vans often carry heavier loads than standard vans. Our courier van breakdown cover ensures recovery services are equipped to handle the weight and size of your vehicle.
Cover for Specialised Vans
For refrigerated vans or those with specialised equipment, we can make special arrangements that offer optional cover for these specialised vehicle additions in the case of a breakdown.

What are you covered for?

Roadside Assistance

In the event your vehicle suffers a breakdown more than 1/4 mile from your home address, we will instruct a recovery operative to attend the scene, and you will be provided with up to 1 hour of roadside assistance to try and get your vehicle moving again.

Local Recovery

If a recovery operator is unable to mobilise your vehicle, or carry out a temporary repair, we will recover you up to 25 miles to the nearest garage which is able to affect a repair.

National Recovery

An extension upon our Local Recovery. If a recovery operator is unable to mobilise your vehicle at the roadside or home address, we shall decide and recover the vehicle to either a suitable garage, your home address or your destination. One of the above options will be arranged by our experienced team with all factors taken into consideration, such as, but not exhaustive to; the time of day, type of repair required, number of passengers, your location.

Home Start

If your vehicle is immobilised at the home address, or within 1/4 mile of the home address, we shall instruct a recovery operator to attend the scene of the breakdown and provide Roadside Assistance and/or National Recovery in line with the above.

Onward Travel

If your vehicle is recovered to a garage, and they are unable to repair the vehicle on the same working day as recovery taking place, we shall reimburse the cost of alternative road or rail travel for the driver and up to 6 passengers to one destination within the territorial limits of this membership. This will also include a return journey for one person to collect the vehicle upon completion of repairs.*

Hire Car

If your vehicle is recovered to a garage, and they are unable to repair the vehicle on the same working day as recovery taking place, we shall reimburse the cost of a suitable hire car for one day up to a maximum of £50.*

Overnight Accommodation

If your vehicle is recovered to a garage, and they are unable to repair the vehicle on the same working day as recovery taking place, we shall reimburse the cost of one night's accommodation, excluding food and drink, for the driver and up to 6 passengers. This is limited to a maximum of £40 per person or £200 for all persons.*

Vehicle Acceptance

Being a bespoke and dedicated cover for courier and delivery usages, in the event of a breakdown, there will be no surprise declinatures of assistance or hidden charges as a result.
