not on the policy i will be paying for

And only tow to a local garage? Could be any shit garage.

I'd go with the AA.

in my short experiance you need to either go with the top 3 (aa,rac,greenflag) or the caravan club (prob the best breakdown and holiday insurance you can get)

i am forever picking people up who get these "deals" or who have got there breakdown free with insurance who have to then cough up hundreds to get home

you get fuck all for free or cheap in this country

It says its recovery to any UK destination though, does that not mean i can just send the car home?
