A couple of days back, I decided to check the new rates for breakdown cover, as mine is about to expire soon. To my surprise, the search term breakdown cover came up with 100’s of names offering coverage in UK. But what actually had me interested was the number of websites offering a ‘comparison’ service. I was intrigued and decided to pursue this further. After browsing many of them, I now realise that they are good, but they left me very confused!

The comparison websites list all the major breakdown service providers, different levels or types of covers provided by them, and, of course, the cost for the type of car breakdown cover you are specifically looking for.

And your choice, based on the company and type of cover, will be the deciding factors regarding the quality of breakdown service you receive.

Some of the points that left me confused and seeking more clarity were, customer testimonials that didn’t really give me any real idea about the best insurance company; the star rating system as these comparison websites don’t mention how they give these ratings; no clear indication of which product or company the website believes provides the best breakdown service.

The truth is that none of these comparison websites have the customer’s best interest at heart. They get paid to promote the companies offering breakdown cover and therefore, they have no reason to be honest or impartial.

So, just like me when you look up breakdown cover on the Internet, don’t assume you’ll get 100% accurate information from the comparison sites….!
