It can be difficult selecting which breakdown policy is for you, mostly because of the amount of variations available. Policies can offer coverage from one, two or more people and the pricing of the plans may even differ based on the vehicle itself, with age, condition and mileage all playing a part in the breakdown cover providers determining the cost of the coverage. It is usually the older cars that are most likely to break down, but the providers know this and so they raise their prices accordingly.
