Bear in mind that many of the normal vehicle insurance policies have breakdown cover built in so you might be double covering it anyway at extra expense.

the free breakdown is usually the basic one, i want the peace of mind of getting me home.

There are a lot of exclusions now. Most commercial vehicles won't be covered on personal plans. The reason I know this is because with a taxi you have to go onto a their fleet plan but its cheaper.with the RAC. So don't automatically assume you are out of luck.

I take your point.  It would be a bit of hassle but I have a few people who would collect me from wherever the vehicle was towed to.  Not ideal I know but it would do at a push.

The RAC have a commercial side as well as domestic, they did not charge any extra for the 2 vans and the 2 cars as a family membership.
