Breakdown Cover
Peace of mind as standard
Admiral Breakdown Cover provides cover you can rely on, packed full of fantastic benefits available all day, every day. Choosing this cover means choosing peace of mind, roadside assistance, a recovery service you can depend on and all at a competitive price.
Unlimited Call Outs
With Admiral Breakdown Cover you can have an unlimited number of roadside and recovery callouts - with all cover levels, including European Plus Cover.
Breakdown at home
If your car breaks down at home or within a quarter mile radius/straight line of your home and you've chosen National Plus or European Plus breakdown cover, we'll send someone out to either get you started or take you to someone who can. A limit of 3 Home Assists per year applies.
Lost your keys?
Don't worry, if your car keys are lost or broken, we'll pop round to solve the problem. The cost of replacement keys and locks are not covered.
Further assistance
If you're away from home and your breakdown can't be sorted out that day, we will make sure you and your passengers are safe and warm for the night (with breakfast), or you can get to where you need to be (includes hire car).
Named drivers are covered
We cover the car shown on your Admiral policy, whether it's you driving or anyone else insured to drive your car.
Message Service
Don't worry if you're late for a meeting or you need to let someone know you're running late. We're always happy to pass on a message or two for you.
