Green Flag's vehicle
breakdown cover
Green Flag have a number of breakdown cover levels for your vehicle — from 24/7 roadside assistance to national vehicle recovery. With over 3,000 technicians ready to get drivers safely back on the road, Green Flag is always on hand to assist if your vehicle breaks down.
If your vehicle breaks down, you need a technician that knows their stuff — which is why only the best local technicians get to join Green Flag's nationwide network.
Get Breakdown cover
What’s included with your breakdown cover?
Depending on which vehicle breakdown cover level you choose, you could get:
24/7 roadside assistance
Our breakdown bread and butter. If you break down over a 1/4 of a mile from home, you'll get expert roadside help or a tow to a local garage.
National vehicle recovery
If your vehicle can't be fixed locally, we can take you, your motor, and any passengers to a single destination you choose in the UK.
Cover at home
They say home is where the heart is. It can also be where a technician is (if your vehicle conks out at your home and you need our help).
Onward travel
You know 'the show'? Well, it must go on. So, if your vehicle can't be fixed on the same day, we can help arrange either a hire car, alternative transport, or even accommodation if you need it.
Unlimited callouts
Yep, you read that right. You can call us out as many times as you need. You may be charged if you call us out for a repeat problem within 28 days.
Cover for different vehicles
Whether it's motorbike breakdown cover or car recovery that you're looking for, you should be able to find the right breakdown and recovery services for you.
European cover
If you buy standalone European cover without cover in the UK, your car must be under 16 years old. And if you choose European cover with cover in the UK (Euro Plus), your car must be under 25 years old.
