Drivers urged to check their breakdown cover

Drivers are being urged to check breakdown cover on their car insurance during the unsettled winter weather.

In the past weeks the UK has been subject to severe gales and a number of localised flooding alerts and insurers are advising motorists to make sure they have adequate protection should the worst happen.

The Met Office has issued prolonged weather warnings across the country with the uncertainty set to continue.

Confused.com is urging drivers to consider putting breakdown cover in place, as the winter get colder and road conditions deteriorate. Breaking down without cover could cost a driver hundreds of pounds to be rescued.

Gareth Kloet, head of Confused.com car insurance said: "Extreme weather can make any car journey difficult, so it's always best to be prepared. Colder winters and more extreme weather makes getting breakdown cover beneficial. The consequences of going without cover include facing a long wait in the cold; and could be a very expensive and inconvenient alternative."
