Car insurance savings could be spent on breakdown cover
Fri, 28 Oct 2005
Shopping around for car insurance could mean that motorists have more to spend on breakdown cover.
Finding the most competitive deal on car insurance could leave a little extra to cover the cost of breaking down, claims Tesco Car Breakdown.
The average motorist without any roadside cover could face an average bill of £64.80 – more than double the cost of buying breakdown cover upfront.
Allan Burns, head of Car Breakdown Cover at Tesco said: "Many motorists have a tendency to take an 'it'll never happen to me' attitude, but with thousands of car breakdowns attended every week, they could be picking up a very large bill when a garage picks up their car."
Tesco's research also found that getting a vehicle repaired at the roadside without proper cover can prove difficult with four out of ten garages polled unable to rescue stranded motorists.
