Some online 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.

With many homes now owning 2 cars it is possible to get multiple online roadside assistance options as well as policies that cover the car only or the driver for any car. Sometimes this can work out cheaper than buying two separate policies. However you should consider the usage of each car, does both vehicles need a breakdown cover policy to cover breakdowns at home, does any car ever travel any distance, so does it need a recovery service?
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 online 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.
