In addition to the standard features, customers can build their package by adding options such as Home Start, Nationwide Recovery, Misfuel Assistance and Onward Travel. The company states that car cover starts from £3.90 a month.

Assistance network and arrival times

Motoring Assistance operates through a large network of third-party recovery and service van operators across the country. According to the company, this model means a provider is nearby wherever you break down in the UK, which reduces waiting time at the roadside while also supporting local businesses. The company states that its arrival time is 43 minutes, a figure based on roadside assistance attendances recorded between 1 June and 31 August 2025.

Customer service and availability

The company has its own call centre available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. UK-based operators handle customer issues. In the event of a breakdown, customers can call 0330 113 2433 to request assistance.

Price comparison and ratings

The website includes a price comparison against The AA and RAC for equivalent cover (roadside assistance, nationwide recovery, home start and onward travel for a single vehicle). According to the published data, annual prices would be £65 for Motoring Assistance, £248 for The AA and £184 for RAC, representing a saving of up to 74%. The company notes that these figures come from quotes obtained on The AA and RAC websites on 16 September 2025, using postcode B33 9BD, date of birth 01/01/2000 and vehicle registration OE17 AZO, and that they reflect the maximum potential saving, not the average saving of all customers.

Regarding ratings, Motoring Assistance states that over 84% of its customers have given it 5 out of 5 stars, a higher percentage than any other competitor with more than 10,000 reviews, according to Trustpilot data from October 2025.

Nationwide cover and motorway assistance

Motoring Assistance's cover extends across the whole of the UK and Northern Ireland. If the customer selects the nationwide recovery option, there are no mileage limits on transporting the vehicle, unlike other providers that only recover the vehicle to a place of safety or the nearest garage. The company also offers safety advice for motorway breakdowns, such as turning on hazard lights, pulling over to the hard shoulder, turning off the engine, leaving the vehicle in first gear and angling the front wheels away from the carriageway, exiting the vehicle and calling the breakdown provider or the emergency services.
