Realising you’ve broken down with no breakdown cover — or that your policy doesn’t cover this situation — is a horrible moment. The good news: you don’t need a membership to get help. Here’s what to do.
1. Get to safety
Pull over as far from traffic as you can, hazards on. On a motorway, get out on the nearside, behind a barrier, and well away from the carriageway.
2. You don’t need to be a member of anything
Breakdown clubs are one option — but if you’re not a member, or joining on the spot is expensive, an independent recovery firm can help you there and then. K9 is pay-as-you-go: one call, a clear price, and we recover you. No membership, no joining fee.
3. Call for a one-off recovery
Tell us where you are, what you’re driving and where it needs to go. Our nationwide network of 3,000 drivers means help is rarely far away, 24/7. See breakdown cover vs one-off recovery to weigh it up.
4. Get moving
We recover you to home, a garage or wherever suits — and can transport the vehicle onward anywhere in the UK if needed.
Stuck with no cover? Call K9 on 07301 118118 — 24/7, no membership.
