A question often asked is what happens about breakdown cover when you lease a car, after all, the car does not belong to you, but the leasing company. Well first most lease cars are bought new and as most manufacturers offer breakdown cover for at least the first year, you are protected. But then it is up to you to make sure you have purchased breakdown cover for that vehicle. If there is a manufacturer issue with the vehicle then you should still be able to return the car to the leasing company, or at least get them to deal with it. But as most callouts for these patrolmen, tend to be things like being locked out or a flat tyre is unlikely that anything a patrolman will do will affect your leasing contract or require any further action to be taken.

However there may be some conditions to do with your leasing contract including damage to the vehicle. So if you have clipped a curb or the paintwork got scratched breaking into your leased car, you may need to get this fixed under the contract of you lease deal.
