The offer is valid on all first year Standard Care, Extra Care and Total Care policies bought in-store, online or over the telephone. The unique product requires no form-filling and gives instant roadside cover.

Below is an example of how much drivers can save by taking advantage of the limited offer:

Tesco Car Breakdown Cover is provided by Green Flag Motoring Assistance giving consumers peace of mind that the good value they have come to expect from Tesco is backed by one of the top three companies in the sector.

Allan Burns, head of Insurance at Tesco Personal Finance comments: "Many motorists don’t realise that the car breakdown cover is a highly competitive market. We would encourage drivers to look further than the traditional players whose comparable cover can be almost double the price of Tesco.

They should look for the best combination of quality and cost in the same way they do from their car insurance provider.”
