Dealing with a breakdown in any situation can be stressful, but it's much more stressful when you're trying to deal with a breakdown in a foreign country and in a foreign language; those unfortunate enough to have had the experience will no doubt recall the memory with some amount of pain.
However, while
AA European Breakdown Cover doesn't perform miracles, it's a pretty useful service to be able to avail oneself of in the event of a breakdown, providing not only the technical expertise to liase with foreign recovery services where necessary, but also translation services too.
AA European Breakdown Cover isn't quite the same as
AA Breakdown though, not least because AA Patrols don't usually operate outside of the UK, but help is still just a telephone call away, and instead of a familiar yellow AA van turning up, AA will arrange assistance from a local motoring organisation or garage instead.
If you've never purchased
AA European Breakdown Cover before, then have no fear: AA make it a simple process, and usually only takes just a few minutes, and your cover can begin immediately.
Nonetheless, if you have any questions about AA European Breakdown Cover then there are plenty of useful resources on the AA European Breakdown Cover website to assist you, including a page of frequently asked questions, alongside a wealth of other useful information.
The policy documents associated with all AA European Breakdown Cover options can also be downloaded prior to purchasing anything, so you can review exactly what cover and benefits may be useful to you.
Once you have actually signed up for AA European Breakdown Cover then you should receive your AA documentatoin by post within five working days. You will also be able to access the same documents online when you purchase your AA European Breakdown Cover so you can print them out then if you'd like to.
If you're seeking extra cover beyond the standard
AA European Breakdown Cover, then AA Parts and Labour benefit can also be added to your policy for a small additional premium: if you have this additional cover then, after a breakdown, this allows you to claim up to £500 (see T&C for full details) towards essential parts and labour needed to get your vehicle moving again.
Although some restrictions apply, AA European Breakdown Cover can be used for private cars, rental cars, motorcycles (over 200cc) and light vans of any age. With the Lite AA European Breakdown Cover and full cover AA European Breakdown Cover, you can also cover campervans, motor caravans and minibuses.
