    What additional cover options are available?

    • Roadside assistance: You can add roadside assistance to your policy to be covered for breakdown help when out and about.
    • Choice of repairer: If your car needs repairs then this option allows you to pick your own repairer. Otherwise, ING will dictate where your car goes for this.
    • Hire car after accident: This refers to a hire car after an accident in which you were at fault. A hire car after an accident that you weren't at fault for is already included in your policy by default. This optional extra ensures you have coverage in the event you are the at-fault driver.
