Extended warranties are the biggest waste of money there is and most are limited to cars that are 15 years old or newer. The dealers and car salesmen make more off extended warranties than they do off of selling a vehicle. Just set aside an amount you can live with each payday in a separate account to cover any repairs that may come up in the future. If you don’t have to use it, then you’ll have a nice down payment nest egg when you’re ready to buy a new car some day.

AA, RAC and Greenflag are the main ones. All have good and bad reviews. Main thing is you want no quibble home recovery. So they will take you, the car and you passengers all the way home no matter where you are.

When the car is safely at home you can take your time to consider your options as to fixing it.

If you get basic recovery they will take you to the nearest garage of their choice ( some nice little backhand deals go on between recovery co’s and garages). The garage knows you are over a barrel and will screw you for everything they can. Especially if they know you are hundreds of miles from home.

AA or RAC with relay to destination Maybe leave off home start if you are not too far from dad – cost about £90 for the first year on RAC
