We often think about taking out breakdown cover when it comes to our cars, but what about our motorbikes? Motorbike cover from the RAC could help you to feel more secure when taking to the back of your bike, by offering assistance should you be in an accident or if your bike breaks or simply won’t start. Even if you just run out of petrol you could still be helped by a breakdown company.
RAC motorbike cover seems like a sensible idea then, but as with any service there are always fees to be paid. Therefore it is important that you ask how you can know that RAC is the right company to handle your breakdown cover. And even within the different options provided by the RAC how you can know which the right deal is for you. Keep reading for help in processing the vast amounts of information that you will be provided with when searching for your motorbike cover.
Why RAC motorbike cover?
The last thing that you want after an accident or breakdown is to be sat at the roadside for hours, waiting for the nearest patrol van to reach you to help. RAC’s promise to aim to reach you within 40 minutes of your phone call is a nice reassurance then, as are the figures that demonstrate that in recent years they have managed to fix an average of 4 out of 5 vehicles actually by the side of the road.
Generic breakdown cover statistics aside, RAC also have specialist equipment for the transportation of motorbikes, including trailers and loaders to help your pride and joy be moved safely and securely. There’s even a personal injury fund of up to £2,500 should the unfortunate occurrence of an accident happen to you.
Which RAC motorbike cover?
There are certain elements to RAC motorbike cover that are included within every policy. Accident care, for example, and the option to call for help in almost any situation, from a puncture to a flat battery, a non-start to a cut-out. There are many options that can be added on to the standard cover though, and it’s important to consider which of them are important to you to help you to cut the cost of your cover.
- European cover can be added to your standard policy, allowing you to travel on the continent, knowing that you can still be helped should your bike cease to function.
- RAC biker care will cover any legal expenses that you might face should you be in an accident.
- At home cover means help if your bike won’t start at home in a morning. It would save you pushing your bike the ¼ of a mile away in which you are covered with the standard policy.
- The recovery and onward travel options could help you where you need to be going, by either transporting you and your bike, or providing you with alternative transport.
Each of these options will add cost to your motorbike cover so ensure that they will be useful to you for the most cost effective solution to your breakdown problem.
