The help you need, when you need it

Add Elephant Breakdown to your policy when you get a quote. Elephant offers three levels of breakdown, so you can choose the cover that's right for you:

  • Roadside Assistance
  • National Cover
  • European Cover

How do I buy it?

If you are an Elephant customer, just contact our customer services on 0333 220 2006 and your cover will start 48 hours later. Alternatively, you can buy Breakdown cover when you get a quote for your car insurance.

Lines are open 8am-6pm weekdays, 10am-4pm Saturdays and Sundays. Calls to 03 numbers will cost no more than calls to national geographic numbers (starting 01 or 02) from both mobiles and landlines.

Unlimited UK Nationwide Recovery

We don't believe you need to compromise on great cover to get a good deal. So we included Unlimited UK nationwide recovery on all our Breakdown Cover options. You can have as many call-outs as you need. The only small difference is on Roadside Assistance Cover where recovery is within 10 miles of the breakdown.

Home assist

What happens if your car breaks down at home? Don't worry, National and European Breakdown Cover includes unlimited Home Assists per policy term, which covers any breakdown within a quarter of a mile radius/straight line of your home address.

Compare Breakdown options

With unlimited roadside recoveries (breakdowns more than ¼ mile from home), see how our cover options stack up.
