Car insurance

Options can be added to any Post Office® Car Insurance policy.

Insure your car with the Post Office® and we’ll give you complimentary Roadside Assistance and Recovery cover¹.

• Roadside Assistance: this covers you when you’re more than a quarter of a mile away from home. We aim to fix your car at the roadside but if that’s not possible we’ll tow you to an approved garage or a destination of your choice (up to 10 miles)
• Recovery: if we can’t fix your car locally in a reasonable time, we’ll transport your vehicle, you and up to 7 passengers to your home or 1 address in the UK. Your cover also includes transportation if you’re taken ill and there are no passengers who can drive the vehicle

You can choose to add additional breakdown cover at a discounted price – the cost to include Homestart cover is £20 (1 year) or Homestart and Onward Travel cover is £40 (1 year).

• Homestart: This extends your cover so you can use RAC Roadside Assistance within a quarter of a mile from home or where you normally keep your car
• Onward Travel: If we can’t fix your car locally, you’ll be offered replacement car hire, alternative transport costs or hotel accommodation

To take advantage of this offer, apply now and enter the promotional code: COMPBK during the application process.

Please note: this offer does not apply to customers buying a policy using a quote generated from a price comparison website – you need to be a new car insurance customer buying your policy directly from the Post Office®.
