Your questions, answered.

Can I buy breakdown cover on its own?

Yes. Protect and Protect Plus are available as standalone memberships. You do not need to buy a W4U warranty to purchase them.

Does Protect include help at home?

Protect is the roadside and local-recovery option. Assistance at home or within one mile of home is a Protect Plus benefit, subject to its conditions.

Does this cover repair bills?

Breakdown assistance and a vehicle warranty serve different purposes. The membership provides the stated assistance and recovery benefits; it does not provide general cover for garage repair bills.

Can I buy European cover here?

The standalone Protect and Protect Plus products shown here are UK memberships. If you need European assistance, ask the team about the available options before purchasing.
