At Swinton, we want to help you feel confident and reassured while you're out riding your motorcycle, and whether your bike breaks down due to a puncture, a flat battery or a blown head gasket, Swinton's Motorcycle Breakdown Cover can help you get back on the road.
We offer Breakdown Cover, provided by the RAC, as an optional extra which you can add to your Swinton Motorbike Insurance policy.

Types of Breakdown Cover
At Swinton, you can choose from 2 levels of Breakdown cover for your bike:
Roadside Assistance & Recovery, including At Home
With At Home cover, if your motorbike can’t be repaired at the roadside, you, your pillion and bike can be taken to a single destination of your choice. Plus, you’ll have the advantage of onward travel options should your bike be unable to be fixed on the same day following a breakdown and cover should your bike break down at home.
European Breakdown Cover
Our European policies come with all of the above benefits plus cover in Europe for trips of up to 90 days.
Breakdown cover is only available as an additional cover option with our Motorbike Insurance and cannot be purchased as a stand-alone policy.
