Hire car, courtesy car, borrowed car - are you covered in any of them?
Hire cars do not always come with breakdown cover as a standard inclusion. The add-on at the rental desk often is optional and expensive.
Courtesy cars provided while your own vehicle is being serviced come with the garage's insurance, but not necessarily breakdown recovery.
A borrowed car from a family member has whatever cover the owner has on it - which may be vehicle-based, meaning you as a different driver are not covered.
These are three very common driving scenarios. In all three, a vehicle-based breakdown policy could give you nothing.
AutoAid personal-based cover works across all of them. The cover is attached to you as a driver. Any car you are legally driving is covered.
If you regularly find yourself in a car that is not your own, it is the one genuinely practical solution.
