The dreaded nightmare feared by I would say most UK car owners is being stranded alone on a dark road - in a broken down car - without any breakdown cover. UK breakdown cover is quite easy to secure and I’m constantly amazed at how many people apparently simply pray that their car will not break down.

At one time I was just like those people so I can personally testify that prayer alone will not help. You simply have to obtain cover from a good breakdown cover UK company. If you delay - it will cost you lots of cash.

Being stranded alone - is easily remedied - just drive with a friend in the passenger seat…only joking.

These are The AA, The RAC, and Green Flag.

Now there are other companies such as More Than and Tescos e.t.c, but in my experience - which unfortunately for me is quite considerable - they still have a way to go before they can match the big three breakdown cover UK companies. So take your pick - but do make a choice and don’t put your decision off untill it is too late.

The time to organise good breakdown cover is well before you ever break down. Although breakdown cover was created with the intention of assisting people in their hour of need. It has to be arranged well before then or your breakdown cover - UK rules at least - will cost you a lot more.

I think it cost me something like, one hundred pounds to become a member of the AA after my car had died. If only I hadnt procrastinated and signed up BEFORE I was stranded, I would have saved all that hard earned cash!
