• CarMoney Assist Services

Roadside Assistance and Nationwide Recovery


If your vehicle breaks down due to mechanical or electrical failure, sustains a puncture or is involved in an accident, we will send help to the scene. We will arrange to pay call out fees and mileage charges needed to repair or assist with the vehicle. If, in the opinion of our recovery operator, they are unable to repair the vehicle at the roadside we will assist in the following way:


• Arrange and pay for your vehicle, you and up to five passengers to be recovered to the nearest garage able to undertake the repair.
• If the above is not possible at the time, we will arrange for your vehicle, you; and
• up to five passengers to be transported
• to your home or original destination.


Home Assist
We will despatch one of our recovery operators to your home address or within a one-mile radius only.

Please note: Any repairs undertaken by our recovery operators at their premises are provided under a separate  contract, which is between you and the garage.


Caravans and Trailers
If your vehicle breaks down and your caravan/trailer is attached, providing it is fitted with a standard towing hitch and does not exceed 23 feet in length, your caravan/trailer will be recovered with your vehicle at no extra cost.


Message Service
If you require, we will gladly pass on two messages to your home or office to let them know of your predicament and ease your worry.


Accident Cover
If your vehicle is involved in an accident rendering it immobile or illegal we will transport your vehicle to a nominated local address within the United Kingdom.

Puncture Cover
If your vehicle sustains a puncture and you are unable to change the wheel, service will only be provided if your vehicle is carrying a serviceable spare wheel or inflation kit. If you are not carrying a spare wheel as your vehicle was never provided with one by the manufacturer and the inflation kit is ineffective due to a badly damaged tyre, then we will provide service under the terms of the vehicle being immobilised. In the event your vehicle is fitted with run-flat tyres and, due to the time of day or local stock availability, a replacement cannot be found within the 50 miles the vehicle can be driven on a run-flat tyre, you and your vehicle would be recovered to your home or original destination in the same way as any other irreparable breakdown.

CarMoney Assist does not cover the following:
1. Any caravan/trailer where the total length exceeds 23 feet and where it is not attached to the vehicle with a standard towing hitch.

7. The cost of petrol, oil or insurance for a hire vehicle.
8. The recovery of the vehicle and passengers if repairs can be carried out at or near the scene of the breakdown within a reasonable time. If recovery takes effect we will only recover to one address in respect of any one breakdown.
9. Overnight accommodation or car hire charges.
10. Breakdowns caused by failure to maintain the vehicle in a roadworthy condition including maintenance or proper levels of oil and water. If, in the opinion of our recovery operator, the vehicle is found to be unroadworthy due to lack of maintenance, unless servicing records can be provided, we may terminate your Cover immediately notifying you, by letter, what action we have taken.
11. Vehicles where service cannot be effected because the vehicle does not carry a serviceable spare wheel.
12. Any request for service if the vehicle cannot be reached due to snow, mud, sand or flood or where the vehicle is not accessible or cannot be transported safely and legally using a standard transporter.
