The Island Breakdown: A Unique Challenge
When your car breaks down on an island, you can’t just call any tow truck. You are surrounded by water, and the solutions are limited. This is what makes an island breakdown so much more stressful:
Limited Workshops: Islands have fewer workshops, and they may not be equipped to handle your specific car model, especially if it's a continental or electric vehicle.
Complex Logistics: If your car needs a major repair, it will likely need to be towed back to the mainland. This involves coordinating a tow truck on the island, booking space on a vehicle ferry, and arranging for another truck on the mainland.
Increased Costs: The cost of a multi-stage tow involving a ferry can be extremely high if you don't have the right RSA coverage.
Your RSA Checklist for an Island Trip
1. Do You Cover Island Breakdowns?
2. Does Coverage Include Ferry and Mainland Towing Costs?
3. Can You Coordinate the Entire Process?
Prevention is Your Best Friend
Given the stakes, ensuring your car is in perfect condition before an island trip is paramount. A comprehensive pre-trip service is not optional; it's essential. Check your tyres, battery, brakes, and cooling system thoroughly to minimize the risk of a predictable failure.
