Insurance provider Auto Legal Protection Services (Alps) has launched an HGV motor breakdown policy, providing nationwide rapid roadside assistance for vehicles over 7.5-tonnes.

Delivered in partnership with Call Assist, a Which? trusted trader for roadside recovery and underwritten by Collinson Insurance, the policy offers two levels of cover: local cover and base assist and UK nationwide and base assist.

Alps said policies started from £305 and gave policyholders round-the-clock access to a dedicated recovery operator and coverage including 180 minutes of roadside and base assistance; recovery for the vehicle, passengers and any attached trailers within a 20-mile radius; alternative public transport or hire car expenses and misfuel assistance and alternative accommodation and associated expenses.

Michelle O’Reilly, Alps MD, said: “We continue to support brokers with innovative add-on solutions and the delivery of first-class claims services.

“With this new HGV breakdown policy, we’re providing faster response times, less downtime, better outcomes, and most importantly, fulfilling a market need to keep fleets, businesses, and their people moving.”
