Breakdown cover is usually an extra you need to add to your policy. Please note Impact-NI DO NOT offer breakdown recovery services.

When using the accident recovery service offered by an accident management company like Impact-NI, this service is part of the accident management services provided.
In summary, while breakdown recovery primarily deals with getting a malfunctioning but intact vehicle off the road or running again, accident recovery involves managing the aftermath of a collision, which often requires more specialised equipment and expertise to handle damaged vehicles and ensure scene safety.
