Some green flag roadside assistance service providers employ most of their patrolmen to attend the emergency call outs within reasonable distances, and some are mainly a network of local recovery trucks and garages. You may want to consider this when you are considering which options to purchase online.
Buying your green flag roadside assistance can be a very quick process and in many cases just one form of information. But this ease of purchase may take you away from the focus that thus is an insurance policy and car and thought should be put into that decision process, to make sure you have the correct agreement for your circumstances.
Emergency phones are still scattered along the UKs motorways, but alas it is unlikely for you to find one anywhere else. Having a mobile phone with the emergency phone number stored can be a real benefit for time when you do breakdown. Also to inform friends and family that you will be late.
Having an emergency triangle in your car could help you be safer should you breakdown in a dangerous or fast moving road. And if you have a green flag roadside assistance policy it can also help the patrol man to find you a bit easier. In some European countries, this is a legal requirement.
If you breakdown at night and still have some battery power leave your hazard lights on so drivers around you can see you are stationary. If you have a green flag roadside assistance agreement, the hazards lights will help the vehicle recovery man find you a bit quicker in the dark.
