You would think so and I think they do. More than that if my experience from fifteen years ago is still in place. If it is an accident situation it is your insurance company that will recover the bike, not the breakdown cover you might have. No doubt it will count as a claim on your insurance so, as I said previously, you might want to consider loss of no-claims/increase future premiums before availing yourself of that option if it is very minor damage and you have other means of getting the bike and yourself home.
In my case the insurance company Aviva payed the bill from the AA recovery service without having been informed and given prior approval. I thought that was very good of them but in these modern times of rip off the customer things might be different.
