Breakdown and accident recovery for bikes
 

Can anyone recommend decent breakdown AND accident recovery (nationwide) please? Since transferring my policy from gsx-r to KTM, it has come to light that my insurance policy doesn't have any recovery with it...

Just been looking on comparison sites but they seem to be angled towards cars and don't say anything about accident recovery.

Yes.. call rescue my bike (nci rescue) and buy break down with optional plus.. the optional plus recovers you in the event of an accident

As I keep saying and as Alex obviously knows, before you get breakdown cover, read the small print. Do you want to be stuck 100 miles from home and nobody will come out because you have dropped your bike.

Make sure your recovery DOES include recovery as a result of an road traffic accident.

+1 Many dont include it, even the policies with onward travel.

Thanks for the tip tim :) it's exactly the reason why I asked for recommendations on "breakdown AND accident recovery" :razz:

I'll give nci a shout cheers alex :D It always has been included on my insurance policy but I asked if it was still included when I transferred from gsx-r to ktm last week, the guy said "you don't have breakdown cover on this policy?" - I explained that I had been recovered in april with a flat tyre on my gsx-r but then instantly remembered the phone call at the side of the road going along the lines of "Sorry mr. 6th, there doesn't appear to be any breakdown cover on your policy but because the policy is only a week old it could be that the breakdown cover hasnt been set up yet... If it turns out that you're not covered are you happy to pay the bill?" y6eah no problem, just get me to the tyre shop 3 miles down the road please (which is where I was heading anyway!)... never received a bill from my insurers or AA. :-({|=

Hence I'm in the market for some cover :)

I'm insured with MCD, I asked about recovery when buying the policy. About £50 per year, got recovered twice. Once with a puncture (by an AA van)and second time when someone reversed into the bike (by some local recovery firm).

I got some AA breakdown cover, whole family has £20 per person and it covers you for any vechicle you might be in / on so my bike and car are covered and for example if i was in my mates car and it broke down, i can get it recovered :D
