Many people view breakdown insurance as unnecessary and expensive as they prefer to take the risk, but I am firmly of the opinion that for a small amount each week, I can drive as far as I want and anywhere I want without having to worry what will happen and who will pay if I break down.

As with all insurance it is about peace of mind and I want to be able to tootle up to Scotland for the day without worrying about the battery going flat and having to call in The Battery Guys or to be able to head to France for the weekend without giving a second thought as to whether it will conk out half way.

In reality, I have only ever had to call in the breakdown service twice, but both times it would have cost me considerably more if I had not been insured. (more...)
