Tyre and Wheel Insurance

Tyre and Wheel Insurance

How much would it inconvenience you if you got a puncture and had to replace your tyre? Hopefully this will never happen to you but if it does, who will pay the bill?

First you suffer the inconvenience of having to change the wheel at the side of the road, then to add insult to injury; you have to pay for the tyre to be replaced. Clearly we can't guarantee that you won't have a puncture, but this insurance will cover the cost of repairing or replacing the tyre in the event of sudden and unforeseen damage.

And now that most cars are fitted with alloy wheels as standard, which certainly improve the appearance of your vehicle, unfortunately they are easily scratched or scuffed by potholes, kerbs and stone chips. This insurance policy is only available with Bentley, Rolls-Royce and Aston Martin Vehicles.
