Why drivers choose this cover

Roadside cover
that just works

1

24/7 roadside repair

Roadside attendance and on-the-spot repair where possible — flat batteries, blown tyres, fuel issues, locked-out keys. The first call out is fully included.

2

Towing & replacement vehicle

If we can’t fix it at the roadside, we’ll tow to the nearest competent garage and (if the car’s off-road overnight) arrange a replacement vehicle so you’re not stranded.

3

Cyprus + EU cover

Cover follows the car across Cyprus and into the EU on your Green Card — useful for ferry trips to Greece and onward European motoring.

Breakdown Cover Cover Details

Breakdown cover for
real Cyprus motoring

The basic assistance bundled with a motor policy is usually Cyprus-only with tight call-out limits. A dedicated breakdown product lifts those limits, adds the replacement vehicle, and follows the car into the EU — dispatched by English-speaking operators who know the island’s roads.

Why Abbeygate for Breakdown

Roadside cover in your
language, on your map

When your car dies on the motorway between Paphos and Limassol, the last thing you want is a call centre that doesn’t speak your language. Our breakdown cover is handled by English-speaking operators who route the nearest recovery partner to you and stay on the line until help arrives.

01

English-speaking operators

The assistance line takes the call in English, routes the request to the nearest tow / repair partner, and stays with you until help arrives.

02

Same broker, same office

Breakdown sits alongside your motor, home and travel cover — one Paphos team, one renewal cycle, one point of contact when something goes wrong.

03

EU cover, no upgrades

Cyprus + EU is the standard cover area on your Green Card — not a paid add-on. A ferry trip to Greece doesn’t need a phone call to extend the policy.

Customer Testimonial

★★★★★

"Brilliant service from start to finish. They understand exactly what expats need. The protected no claims bonus on motor insurance is a game-changer."
