UK Breakdown Cover

For over 40 years, we’ve partnered with Green Flag to bring you our breakdown and roadside recovery service called Mayday. Whether you’re driving your car, motorhome or pulling a caravan, or even multiple vehicles, we have a level of cover that will suit you.

Starting at £74 for Roadside & Recovery, we also offer our most popular cover, Premium UK for £105, and our top-tier cover, Premium UK Plus for £132. Green Flag is underwritten by U K Insurance Limited.

Please note: MAYDAY UK breakdown and recovery only covers the UK.

When you click on the 'Get a quote' button, you will be taken to Green Flag's website and quoted for UK-only cover. You will be asked a series of questions that will help you to make a decision on which product best meets your needs. If you are unsure about anything, please call 0800 051 5318.

The Club does not offer a combined UK and European breakdown and recovery solution. If you want breakdown cover in Continental Europe, please take a look at our Red Pennant insurance.

Customer reviews of our breakdown cover

"He went far beyond the call of duty and showed an intelligent way of dealing with a series of issues he encountered. He was meticulous in the way he did the job of hitching up my car, and his courtesy and professionalism was second to none. I felt I could not have been served better and he showed a high degree of integrity. I could trust him."

Mike, Jan 2018

"I would just like to say a huge thank you to all the staff at Mayday. They answered the phone quickly, had a recovery vehicle there within 30 minutes, and had us back on our way within the hour. Fantastic service – friendly, efficient and reliable."

Mr Beaumont, Sep 2018
