Alps, an MGA specialising in insurance add-on policies, legal expenses, and claims solutions for intermediaries, launched a Commercial HGV Motor Breakdown policy.

The policy is designed to provide nationwide, rapid roadside and base assistance for HGVs weighing over 7.5 tonnes.

It provides roadside assistance and recovery for HGV drivers and their vehicles in the event of an unexpected breakdown anywhere in the UK.

Delivered in partnership with Call Assist Ltd, 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.

With policies starting from £305, policyholders have full-time access to a recovery operator and broad coverage.

It includes: 180 minutes of roadside and base assistance, recovery for the vehicle, passengers, and any attached caravans/trailers within a 20-mile radius, alternative public transport or hire car expenses up to £250, misfuel assistance up to £250, key cover, and alternative accommodation and reasonable associated expenses.

Michelle O’Reilly, managing director at Alps, 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.

“This brings our range of motor add-on solutions to 12, and the total portfolio of commercial, property, and motor insurance policies to 23, solidifying our position as a leader in the market in terms of innovation and reliable protection.”

Alps offers add-on covers, including sole trader and commercial.

It also offers motor-related add-ons, such as excess protect, tools in transit, vehicle replacement, and road rescue.
