If you have a well maintained car the cost of breakdown cover over several years will probably be greater than the cost of paying to have the odd flat battery or puncture sorted out. What you really pay for is peace-of- mind. When my wife's car had a puncture the service provided fell a long way short of this (The breakdown truck didn't carry any tools and couldn't help with the fact that our spare was under pressure by about 7ppsi). When I complained to Admiral they promised to look into it. I received a letter from 'Call Assist'(the company used by Admiral) that didn't address my complaint. On re-addressing Admiral they said that they had passed on the complaint and it was no longer their problem. I will not be renewing my breakdown policy with Admiral.
