Picture this:
It’s Christmas Eve, you’ve done all your Christmas shopping and you’re in the middle of a long drive to your family’s or friend’s house for the big day. While singing along to a bit of Cliff Richard/Wham/Mariah Carey/Wizzard/Slade, your car decides to break down on the motorway.
If you’ve got breakdown cover, hopefully you’ll be back on your journey in a reasonable amount of time and back to singing those Christmas songs before you can say ‘mince pies’.
However, if you haven’t got some sort of breakdown cover policy your travel schedule and your wallet are likely to be hit hard just hours before one of the best days of the year, which is sure to put a dampener on things.
Therefore, one of the last bits of financial planning you might want to consider before Christmas is looking into what breakdown cover you currently have in place and deciding whether this is adequate for your holiday travels. If it isn’t, it would be well worth thinking about putting the right cover in place so that you aren’t left stranded by the roadside when you should be having fun with your family and friends.
