Temporary breakdown cover for a landrover?!

[Big T]

Hiya,

 

I'm picking up my new truck on Saturday, a 1986 110 tipper, it's a 300 mile drive home (will prob be spread over 2 days!). I would like to sort out some form of temporary breakdown cover but no one seems to supply this for a vehicle this old! I don't have breakdown cover with my insurance company. Hopefully it will complete the journey fine but would rather be safe than sorry! Anyone know any companies that would supply temporary cover for a landrover this age?

My AA breakdown cover through Lloyds bank covers breakdowns for the person rather than the vehicle. Either take out cover with them, or find someone with a Lloyds account to go along with you

I've used Autoaid (UK Car breakdown recovery insurance the cheap way | AutoAid Breakdown) for years. Not temporary cover, it's for a full year, but it's only £40 odd quid. They cover my ancient car, but they also cover the driver rather than the vehicle. Worth having anyway. And they've been fairly quick and efficient when I've needed them a couple of times. The only thing is, sometimes you have to pay the recovery company, then claim a refund from AutoAid. Can take a week or so, but has always worked smoothly for me. (And sometimes the recovery people will invoice Autoaid directly, so you don't even need to pay on the spot).

Cheers guys!
