An unexpected vehicle breakdown can be inconvenient, stressful and expensive, particularly if you do not have cover in place. One off emergency assistance can cost significantly more than an annual breakdown policy, and even well maintained vehicles can still suffer unexpected faults. Breakdown insurance provides reassurance that help is available when you need it most.
Thornhill Insurance has over 40 years of experience arranging breakdown insurance and works closely with trusted underwriters to provide reliable cover at competitive prices. This experience allows us to offer a range of options, from basic roadside assistance through to comprehensive packages that include recovery, home start, onward travel and European cover.
Whether you drive a private car, motorcycle or commercial vehicle, breakdown insurance can be tailored to suit your needs and usage, helping you avoid unnecessary costs and delays if the unexpected happens.
We never compromise on cover
Our packages can be built around the following:
