Check for Roadside Assistance Options

Roadside assistance programmes can be a game-changer during car breakdowns, saving you both stress and money.

If you belong to a service like the AA (Automobile Association), or if roadside coverage is included in your car insurance, you might already have access to free or discounted towing services.

These plans often include additional perks like jump-starts, flat tyre repairs, and fuel delivery, so it’s worth checking the details.
