If your vehicle breaks down mid-journey, your car has a mechanical fault, if you have a flat tyre or you run out of petrol then break-down insurance can help.
As with many insurance policies, you get the cover you pay for and their are different levels of cover when it comes to beakdown insurance.
Some policies offer road side assistance only, this usually means that the break down company will try to repair your car at the road side, if they can not repair they will take the vehicle and it's occupants to the nearest garage to get the vehicle repaired. This cover is not valid if you are at home or say within a short distance of home.
Some policies give you protection both on the road and right outside your own house and includes emergency assistance if you break down at home or within 1 mile of your home address.
If you wish to opt for cover at the road side, at home as well as abroad then you will have to pay an increased insurance premium for this service, but you should have the added advantage of: being able to continue your journey in a hire car if your vehicle deemed un road worthy due to a problem or accident, overnight accommodation for you and your passengers.
