I travel between a town named bedford, Coventry and Leicester. I live in Bedford but during the week I am in Coventry or Leicester.
I am looking for the best value for money policy that would actually help me if I broke down? I see a lot of policies only cover 20 miles or something so how is that national recovery??
Can anyone suggest a good breakdown cover incase I was to breakdown in say Coventry and needed to get my car recovered maybe 60-70 miles to back home or from Leicester 50 miles ish.
Where can I look at polices like this and has anyone found out which are the cheapest?

it may be worth identifying the services that permit the customer to decide if recovery to the customer's preferred address shall override any service provider's preference to dump the vehicle at nearest garage regardless of time of day.
Example of service provider dictating local repair prior to recovery consideration, especially if late-night breakdown:
...if the repairs cannot be completed by a local garage within the same working day (or following working day if the garage is closed), we will either:
• Recover you, your vehicle and your passengers to your home or original destination,
whichever is closest
• (do other stuff of our choice)
Then there are other unmentioned but possible scenarios (not?) requiring cover, such as:
lost keys
misfuelling
inclusive (rather than chargeable) recovery after RTA
recovery after vandalism or theft
etc
Summary:
do not assume inclusions. Read specific policy / t&c to see what is and what is not included and critically:
who makes the choice of what preferred solution shall be performed."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51905446","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Yolofknell"},"datePublished":"2024-01-04T12:07:00.000Z","text":"Try AutoAid.

So if you are in Scotland for holidays, they won't drive you all the way to Cornwall if you lived there, basically.
