As a motorist, you need to know exactly what is covered by the breakdown insurance. Before signing up, find out what the policy is all about and what it entails. Do some research and ask the insurance company or its representatives what the breakdown cover is all about, what it entails and benefits that you stand to enjoy. This way, you will be able to make an informed decision. You can also check the Internet for further information and find out if there are more details on a website or if members of the public, specifically motorists, have reviewed the cover and the company and talked about their experiences.
