You can go a fair way in a taxi for £16 .Unless you are really in the back of beyond Im not sure breakdown insurance is money wisely spent.
It is if you ride a recumbent trike. Not every taxi is capable of carrying one without major disassembly. Similarly if you ride in sparsely populated countryside getting a taxi to even think about coming to pick you up is a no, no!
ETA will pick me and the trike up, including if I only puncture, although I'd replace the tube and hope to carry on in normal circumstances, and take me to the car or home or to an LBS if more than 10 miles and closer than the car/home.
Also for the mechanically inept and anyone with a physical problem that doesn't let them repair and continue ETA is the answer.
