The decision is based on the terms of your policy. In my experience on two occasion over the last 10+ years, I have used the National Recovery feature of my contract to get the car to a destination of my choice without any problems.
No breakdown company is going to sell you a national recovery service on its own - it would make no sense for the breakdown insurance to take your car say 250 miles if it can be diagnosed and fixed by their operator by the roadside in 15 minutes. Your only option of an "independent" recovery service that does what you want would be to have a breakdown recovery money box at home and to put each year's premium ampunt in it for when needed.
