    I have cover with green flag free through my bank and they cover what ever I'm in.
    I'm sure the all have a similar cover

    Read any small print carefully. Unless you pay for it you are not covered at home. The most basic cover from AA or RAC limits towing distance to ten miles.

    Use Top Cash Back or Quidco to maximise bang for buck. I've used the threat of cancelling and switching to get Quidco cashback to get a reduced price from current provider before.

    Again check the smallprint Mr.H. Breakdown cover is almost always very limited when offered in conjunction with car insurance, you can't beat a dedicated cover that you take out directly with the breakdown company yourself.
