Have you considered the possible costs of recovery if you do not have a more than vehicle breakdown cover agreement? Think about the call out charge and tow to local garage and then the possibility of not having any control over which garage you are taken t where you are open to the factor of trust with your final car repair bill.
The AA , RAC and Green flag not only sell breakdown cover but have useful route planners on their websites. Just enter your current postcode and the post code you are travelling to and the website will calculate the distance and the approximate time to get there. You can print this information off to take with you, so you do not get lost.
Remember most breakdown can be fixed at the roadside, but some repairs just cannot such as brakes, or serious failure. Keeping your car well serviced and maintained can only reduce the likelihood of a breakdown but reduce the consequences should you still do so. This could mean that your more than vehicle breakdown cover service provider has a better chance of fixing your car at the roadside.
It is true that cars are more reliable now than ever but it is equally true that we have never expected more from our vehicles than in the world we live in now. We expect to travel many more miles than we ever did within ever busy roads and harder driving conditions and at faster speed. Make sure that should some thing happen, you have at least considered a more than vehicle breakdown cover policy to get you home.
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.
