That figure could rise to \u00a385 after 6pm and at weekends or \u00a390-\u00a3110 on bank holidays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The garage recovering your vehicle will probably charge you \u00a31.50 or more a mile for car towing.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the police are called to recover your vehicle from a motorway they will charge you \u00a3150 for towing a car. Stoarage costs \u00a320 a day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If your car can\u2019t be repaired the same day and you are a distance from home, a hotel will likely cost you \u00a380-\u00a3120 per night&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Depending what has caused your breakdown you could face a bill of hundreds of pounds for parts and labour charges of \u00a370-\u00a390 an hour to solve the problem<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compare those charges with annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/breakdown-cover\/\">Sterling Rescue breakdown cover<\/a>, which can cost from as little as \u00a325.42 a year. And if you break down and you don\u2019t already have breakdown cover, you can get instant cover from as little as \u00a3173.60 a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sterling breakdown insurance will cover you at home, anywhere in the UK and wherever within the EU. If they can\u2019t fix your car at the roadside they provide an excellent towing service to get you to a garage.
