The cars we grew up loving taught us one thing: always have a backup plan
You know the ones. The Ford Capri slowly rusting in a neighbour's driveway. The Mk1 Golf GTI that made everything else look boring. The E30 that somehow still holds its value.

Most of us aren't actually driving those, though; we're driving the next generation down. The Mk4 Golf that's just starting to feel a bit special. The EP3 Type R that's finally stopped dropping in price. The early Mazda RX-8 that someone optimistic daily drives and someone practical probably wouldn't. Cars that scratch the same itch, just without the heated garage or the specialist mechanic on speed dial.
And here's the thing about driving a car you actually care about: at some point, something will go wrong.
When your car decides it's done
We've all been there. It's Sunday morning and you're twenty miles from anywhere interesting when the temperature gauge starts doing something it absolutely shouldn't.
That's exactly where CoverMy breakdown cover comes in. Whether you're stranded on a quiet B-road or watching the temperature gauge climb on the M6, they'll get you and your car recovered to a nearby garage. No call-out charges, no faff. National recovery means you're not just covered locally, either. If it can't be fixed close by, you, any passengers and the car all get home.
Cover that goes further than your optimism
And for those with grander ambitions (a trip to the Nürburgring, a cheeky run through France in something impractical) European cover starts from £18.86 for a single trip, covering 31 countries. National recovery, onward travel, overnight accommodation, misfuelling cover, and key cover are all part of a package that actually makes sense.
National cover starts from just £15.83 a year. That's half the price of your long-forgotten gym monthly membership.
