Hoddesdon is one of the two most populated towns in Broxbourne, so you can expect its roads to be reasonably busy. It is bordered by the A10 (between London and King's Lynn) to the west and the A414 (between Maldon and Hemel Hempstead) to the north. The main road through Hoddesdon is the A1170, which travels north towards Ware and south to Turnford. A few miles east is the M11 motorway, while the M25 is a few miles south.

Urban driving in Hoddesdon may reduce fuel efficiency due to increased braking and accelerating, which also places greater strain on your engine. Slow-moving traffic reduces the airflow through your car's radiator, making the cooling system work harder, so you should check the coolant level regularly and top up as needed. Your brakes and suspension will also likely wear down quickly as you navigate busy roads with potholes. Since driving in Hoddesdon can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.

If you have breakdown cover and your car fails, all you have to do is call the number of your cover provider and give them information about your policy and location. They will attempt to repair the vehicle at the roadside; failing that, they will tow your car to a garage.

Even if you don't have breakdown cover, you can still call a breakdown recovery provider, though this is likely to cost more since you don't have an existing policy.

Instead of trying to purchase regular breakdown cover after you have broken down, make sure you contact your chosen breakdown provider using the non-customer helpline. Read this guide for more information about what to do when your car breaks down.

Alternatively, a local garage will often offer the cheapest breakdown recovery call-out fee. Choosing the right roadside recovery option is essential, especially if your car has broken down somewhere dangerous, such as on the motorway. In this case, you should phone an emergency recovery service. Our tips for avoiding a breakdown may help you avoid this situation in the future.
