It is not always my van or car that I am driving. I am not sure that the
owners would like me to leave their car/van if it broke down and let me
hitch home.


Then it is their responsibility to not end or hire it to you, or arrange
suitable cover.

Not alway. I sometimes ask them if I can borrow their cars/vans. I am
getting them for free.
