One of the main mistakes consumers make when choosing breakdown cover is to always go for the cheapest option, without thinking about their real requirements and the risks involved. In short, if you breakdown the AA will attend as normal, but if the fault cannot be fixed at the roadside, they will assist you and you car to the nearest garage.
There are other options, by upgrading to a breakdown recovery policy, of which the AA calls “Relay”, so if your vehicle can not be fixed, they will transport the vehicle and a certain amount of passengers back home, or anywhere you want the car to go within the UK mainland. So you could for example asked to be taken to where you were driving to, where you can get your vehicle fixed in your time at a place you choose.
The Relay option is sold with “Roadside” and at the time of writing the price quoted is around £69 for both which includes an online 44% off and together this package is called “Rescue”. It is true that most cars are fixed by the roadside, but if you drive away form home a lot, or have inherent issues with your car that may not be fixed, or you just want piece of mind, then you may find the Rescue package matches your requirements.
