We offer a wide range of insurance products; from car to home, bike to van, business to taxi insurance, plus services like breakdown cover. Our Swinton story began in 1957, when Ken Scowcroft sold his first car insurance policy, for just five pounds. Back then you bought your motor insurance from the 'man' at your door, but Ken had a better idea. By comparing prices from lots of insurance companies, Ken could retain the personal touch and pass on the savings to his customers.
In his first year, he sold over 100 policies and Swinton Insurance was born. By 1964, he'd opened his first high street branch and by 1987, Swinton was a household name, with 220 branches nationwide. Throughout the years, Swinton has been committed to working hard for our customers, taking the time to listen and going the extra mile, so challenge Swinton to find you a great deal.
This honest personal approach, inherited from Ken, is still the cornerstone of our business. Today we offer a wide range of insurance products; from car to home, commercial to taxi insurance, plus services like breakdown cover.

Breakdown Cover
Report
Breakdown Cover is a type of insurance policy that covers the costs of roadside assistance and recovery if your car breaks down.
For example, if you blow a tyre or run out of fuel while on the road, Breakdown Cover will provide roadside assistance or arrange recovery if the vehicle can't be fixed at the roadside.
Unless you have only selected Roadside Breakdown cover, it will also cover other costs, too, like temporary accommodation or providing a hire car to help you continue your journey.
Our Breakdown Cover is available as an optional extra you can add to your Swinton Car Insurance policy.
