Press Release Body: In a market where truck owners struggle to buy insured breakdown protection and costs of recovery are rising, National Breakdown Truck Assist launches a unique Annual Insured Breakdown Scheme.
The Announcement of a new Annual insured breakdown service for trucks not only flies in the face of conventional HGV 'Pay-on-Use' schemes but can reduce the costs associated with a breakdown. It offers owners and operators the same level of protection against breakdown as the public currently receive with their cars. With the cost of owning a commercial vehicle rising steeply in the UK, an Insured Policy could reduce some of the burden for Truck owners and help them calculate, with some accuracy, their annual expenditure on breakdown costs.
"The membership Scheme we are offering is a welcome step forward for the Truck Industry. The pressures of keeping your vehicle moving and your load safe are exacerbated in the event of a breakdown and the cost of 'Pay on Use' Schemes can very quickly spiral out of control when the owner is under pressure to get moving again. It has taken a while to bring this Scheme to market but we believe it is a timely service backed by a considerable network of mechanics and recovery agents." said Ian Roper, MD, National Breakdown (Truck Assist).
National Breakdown's decision to launch into the truck market expands their current provision and resurrects a Scheme that is designed for the industry, by people in the Industry. The Scheme, underwritten by UKU on behalf of AXA gives the policy holder the choice of 5 levels of Nationwide cover with the choice of a extending the provision to Europe.
Roper continued, "The breakdown industry is geared towards the mass public. It has become very generic and almost a throwaway item with cover added into motor policies or paid for at the supermarket. This type of domestic cover is not suitable for commercial vehicles and there are few specialists left that will provide this type of bespoke service. Our aim is to continue to offer specialist services that meet the individual needs of the customer with a simple yet comprehensive set of cover options."
The Service has been launched for HGV's up to 44 tonnes for UK & Europe including Single Trip cover and is accessible Direct to customers via www.hgvassist.co.uk and for brokers/insurers at www.truckassist.co.uk
