The Middlesea Motor Insurance policy has been upgraded again to provide further added value to customers. Middlesea’s motor policy policy now comes with the added benefit of providing a roadside assistance and breakdown service all over Europe. This is in addition to the free, 24/7 roadside assistance and breakdown service available in Malta and Gozo, presently enjoyed by all Middlesea motor policyholders.
All Comprehensive policyholders and those with a Third Party Fire & Theft and Third Party Only policy who have upgraded their roadside assistance cover from Limited to Full will now automatically enjoy Middlesea’s roadside assistance and breakdown service whilst driving anywhere in Europe.
The assistance cover will be available by calling the Maltese Middlesea Assist call-centre number.
The period of cover is subject to a maximum of 14 days after departure date from Malta. The towing service, in the case of breakdown, is limited to delivery to the nearest garage/repair shop up to a maximum of 350km or up to a maximum of €300, whichever occurs first.
In addition, in the event that repairs to the motor vehicle are necessary during the covered period and the vehicle is immobilized for at least 72 hours, Middlesea will pay €50 per day for a maximum period of 3 days (maximum €150) for alternative accommodation purposes.
The roadside assistance and breakdown services included in the Middlesea Motor insurance policy both locally and around Europe include: repair on the spot following mechanical or electrical breakdown; battery boost assistance (limited to 2 services per week)*; towing of motor vehicle following a breakdown or accident; second delivery service if the vehicle breaks down during the night, on a weekend or public holiday; transportation of vehicle occupants; flat tyre assistance*; fuel delivery (limited to 1 service per policy period) and locksmith service (limited to 1 service per policy period). Policyholders with Limited Roadside Assistance cover, such as policyholders whose vehicle is insured under a Third Party Only or Third Party Fire & Theft cover, can upgrade to a Full assistance basis including European cover for a charge of € 9.50.
