As a motorcyclist, there's no better feeling than taking your bike out on the open road, and a breakdown is the last thing you want to be thinking about when you're enjoying the great outdoors.
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.
At Swinton, you can choose from four levels of RAC breakdown cover: Roadside Only, Roadside & Recovery, Roadside, Recovery & At Home, and Roadside, Recovery & At Home & European.
Roadside Only gives you peace of mind if you break down more than a quarter of a mile from home. The RAC will attend and, if your bike cannot be repaired at the roadside, you, and your pillions will be taken to a destination of your choice within 10 miles.
This level does not include assistance within a quarter of a mile of your home and does not provide cover for bikes outside the UK.
Includes all the benefits of Roadside Only, plus nationwide recovery. If your bike cannot be repaired at the roadside, you, your pillions, and your bike will be transported to any destination of your choice anywhere in the UK.
This level does not include assistance within a quarter of a mile of your home and does not provide cover for bikes outside the UK.
Includes all the benefits of Roadside & Recovery, plus cover within a quarter of a mile of your home address.
This level does not provide assistance for bikes outside the UK.
Includes all the benefits of Roadside, Recovery & At Home, plus European Breakdown cover for your bike while driving in European countries.
At Swinton, our dedicated Bike Insurance team will try to help you find a suitable quote, by comparing quotes from a panel of motorcycle insurers. We'll share the quote we get back from them for a range of motorbike makes and models.
We know how stressful it can be when your bike breaks down but, with factors like bad weather and lack of shelter, breaking down while riding a motorbike can leave you feeling particularly vulnerable.
Knowing what to do during a breakdown, and having Breakdown Cover in place, can help you feel more prepared.
