QDOS Breakdown

QDOS Breakdown sells breakdown cover for cars, vans, motorbikes and fleets, with UK and European options. Standard vehicle policies include unlimited callouts per year. The useful decision is whether you need personal or vehicle cover, whether you travel abroad, and how old your vehicle is.

QDOS Breakdown: what to know before you buy

Choosing between personal and vehicle cover

The main choice is between personal cover, which follows named people as drivers or passengers in an eligible vehicle, and vehicle cover, which follows the vehicle itself and anyone legally insured to drive it. If you swap between cars or share one car with a partner, vehicle cover is usually the simpler option. If you regularly travel in other people's vehicles, personal cover may suit you better.

Checking vehicle eligibility before you buy

Vehicle age limits differ by policy type, so check the age of your car, van or motorbike against the relevant limit before buying. Motorcycles need to exceed 120cc to be covered, and vehicles used for hire, reward or courier work are not eligible. Dimensions, seat count and weight also matter, so check the specification if you run a larger van or 4x4.

Thinking about European travel

If you drive abroad, the annual European policy covers multiple trips across the year, with a per-trip limit on how long each one can last and a vehicle age limit. Single trip European cover suits a single holiday and can cover a longer period on older vehicles. The annual policy also includes UK cover, which is worth knowing if you only occasionally travel abroad.

Reading the terms before you buy

Cover does not start within 72 hours of purchase, so buy before you need it rather than after a breakdown. Cover also depends on the vehicle being maintained to the manufacturer's recommendations, so keep your service record up to date. Cancelling within 14 days of receiving documents gives a refund minus an administration charge, and amendments carry the same charge.

Questions about QDOS Breakdown

Are there any QDOS Breakdown discount codes?

We don't currently list a confirmed discount code. That doesn't mean the store has no promotions; check its website for current prices.

Does QDOS Breakdown charge an excess or callout fee?

QDOS states its policies do not impose a call out charge or excess, and you do not pay recovery costs up front to claim back later.

Can I cover a vehicle I have already broken down in?

No. Cover cannot start within 72 hours of purchase, and QDOS says it cannot provide immediate assistance for the cost of a policy after a breakdown.

Who handles my order?

You complete your purchase with the retailer. For order changes, delivery questions or a refund, contact the seller shown on your order confirmation. Vouchernaut publishes shopping guides and offers; we don't process your purchase.
