Tesco breakdown cover review

Tesco car breakdown cover is sold by Tesco bank as one of their insurance products, and the breakdown cover service is provided by the UK’s second biggest breakdown provider; the RAC. When two of the biggest names in British business get together you can expect their offering to be both great in value and service. It may be worth pointing out that Tesco breakdown cover was previously provided by Green Flag (some of the Tesco customers still fall into this category).

Tesco offer three levels of car breakdown cover;

Value – This is basic roadside assistance, and you will also be towed to a garage within 10 miles of your breakdown if the repair can’t be made at the roadside.

Standard – In addition to the value package you also get cover if you breakdown at or near to your home (which isn’t available with the value package).

Finest – This is Tesco’s top package. You will get all of the above plus recovery (where your car will be taken either to your home or your final destination), and onward travel (where car hire or alternative travel arrangements will be provided which may include overnight accommodation).

As ever read the Tesco T&C’s for all the details.

IC Breakdown cover review

IC Breakdown is part of the Insurance Choices group, selling not only car breakdown insurance, but also car, home, motorbike, travel, commercial vehicle, boat, health, pet, wedding insurance, plus much more.

For ease of comparison their breakdown cover plans are titled by metal (in the same way that medals at the Olympic games are).

Copper; is the most basic plan and starts at £19 per year (at time of writing). If you breakdown the provider will attempt to repair your vehicle at the roadside. If they are unable to repair your vehicle they will tow you to a local garage. This includes assistance when towing a caravan or trailer.

Bronze; includes the Copper cover options, and in addition to this you also get a emergency travel /  accommodation (read the terms and conditions for more information). This package also includes a messaging service where the breakdown provider will forward a message to someone in the UK to advise them that you’ve broken down.

Silver; gives you the same as the Bronze cover but also provides you with a Home Start service. If your vehicle breaks down at or near your home they will attend to attempt a repair

Gold; provides you with the same level of cover as Silver, but will also get you a key service (for when you lose your keys or lock them in the car), and also European cover.

All of the cover options include their caravan/trailer service. Some of the better packages are not available for older vehicles so it’s best to check out their website for full details.

IC Breakdown offer a similar service to that of the big providers such as the AA, RAC, and Green Flag, except they are offering it at a lower price. Don’t be fooled into thinking they are not up to the job just because you haven’t heard of them.
