In partnership with PRP Rescue Limited the NTET operates its Breakdown Recovery Scheme.
The scheme is open to all owners of steam propelled road going vehicles and owners of low loaders when used for hauling vintage vehicles.
The NTET works very hard to bring ‘added value’ schemes to its members and the Breakdown Recovery Scheme is no exception. It is unique and is tailored to meet the specific requirements of those members who operate their vehicles on a limited, personal budget. Non-members are welcome to take advantage of the scheme but they will be charged the non-discounted rates, which are 50% higher than the published rates.
Consider the following questions:
The potential costs of a breakdown:
If you answered yes to any of the above questions,
this scheme is for YOU!
The NTET Breakdown Recovery Scheme covers
the cost of the above and much more.
Owners of transporters or road going steam vehicles are invited to subscribe to this scheme on an annual basis.
When a vehicle breaks down or requires recovering the driver calls the control centre using the telephone number shown on their membership card. Once the personal membership number on the card is validated and the vehicle registration number is confirmed the Breakdown Recovery Services are activated.
Transportation of any attendants or crew members is at the discretion of the Agent affecting the recovery.
Immobility caused by poor quality coal or lack of coal, lack of water, an accident or a breach of the law will not be covered.
Other conditions apply, see application form for details.
Low Loaders and Transporters:
In the event of a low loader breaking down a fully equipped heavy vehicle ‘breakdown rescue’ van will normally attend in the first instance and attempt to get the vehicle going. It is reckoned that about 95% of all breakdowns are repaired by the highly trained crews of the ‘rescue’ vans. The Scheme will meet the cost of attendance of the ‘rescue’ van but will not pay for any materials used, e.g. fuel, oils, filters, tyres etc.
If the vehicle proves to be un-repairable at the roadside a heavy recovery vehicle is dispatched to the site. The Scheme will pay for the recovery of the vehicle and its payload.
NOTE: Immobility caused by an accident, failure of a roadside safety check or a breach of the law will not be covered.
Other conditions apply, see application form for details.
The NTET is very much aware of the effects of rising costs on the rebuilding, maintaining and exhibiting of vintage steam propelled vehicles. The annual membership fees of this scheme has been set at £XXXXX.
These low, low rates cannot be obtained anywhere commercially outside of the NTET.
The NTET is pleased to be the first vintage steam related organisation to care for its members in this way. Given the very affordable cost of membership combined with the expertise of a prestigious Service Provider, on call 24hrs a day, can you really afford not to be in the scheme?
Remember; the preferential, discounted rates are exclusive to members of the NTET, full rates apply to non-members (50% higher than the member rate).
Simply download the Application Form (see links below) and filling in the appropriate information. Once all of the details of the vehicle to be covered are entered onto the form it should be submitted to info@prprescue.com and they will be in contact to take the appropriate payment.
Please allow a contingency of at least 24 hours for cover to be put in place.
